Hi there!

I’m Lara, the heart behind the lens at Donlarrie Captures.
Based in Leeds, West Yorkshire, I’m a passionate family and portrait photographer with a deep love for documenting life’s most meaningful moments from your growing bump to your baby’s first birthday, and every chapter in between.

Photography isn’t just what I do, it’s how I connect. It’s how I freeze time, preserve your memories, and tell the stories you’ll look back on years from now and say, “That’s who we were. That’s what it felt like.

Why I Do What I Do

I know how fast life moves especially for women building families, growing businesses, and juggling it all. I’ve been there. That’s why I built Donlarrie Captures: to help women like you slow down and honour the season you’re in, whether it’s motherhood, love, or the hustle of entrepreneurship, you deserve to be seen, to exist in your family’s story, to celebrate the now.

And that’s what I’m here for.

What Makes My Work Different?

Emotion-First Photography
I focus on connection, not perfection. You’ll leave your session feeling like you’ve just had a beautiful moment with your family not a photo shoot.

Style & Substance
From wardrobe planning to posing guidance, I bring a creative eye and calming presence to help you feel beautiful and natural in front of the camera.

Heirloom-Quality Results
Your memories deserve more than the camera roll. I offer wall art, prints, and albums that become part of your home and legacy.
