About Lab Laete
Our Philosophy
In a world increasingly shaped by artificial perfection, filters, and artificial intelligence, we choose something different: genuine connection, honest emotion, and moments that cannot be manufactured—only experienced. We believe authenticity is timeless, and the stories that matter most are the ones that unfold naturally.
Who We Are
We are creatives based in Vienna, united by a shared passion for people, storytelling, and meaningful experiences. Whether we’re documenting a growing family, a professional journey, or a community coming together, we approach every project with curiosity, empathy, and intention.
What We Do
We create photography for people, businesses, and communities. From maternity, newborn, and family sessions to portraits, personal branding, corporate events, workshops, documentary projects, and visual storytelling, we capture moments that feel authentic, natural, and deeply human.
Rather than directing every detail, we create space for genuine connection to unfold—because the most meaningful images are rarely the most perfect ones.
Why It Matters
Life is made of fleeting moments—a shared laugh, a quiet glance, a child’s embrace, the energy of people coming together. These moments deserve to be remembered not only for how they looked, but for how they felt.
Our photographs preserve them with honesty, care, and intention, creating memories that remain meaningful long after the moment has passed.
Our Belief
Photography is more than creating beautiful images. It is about seeing people as they are, building trust, and preserving stories that carry emotion.
Technology can generate pictures, but it cannot create presence, connection, or memory. Those belong to people—and they always will.
What clients say
We’re not usually comfortable in front of the camera, but Minela and Katarina made the entire cake smash session feel natural and relaxed. It was such a fun experience, and the memories we received are truly priceless. We’ll definitely book again.
Marjana
Emotion cannot be faked, especially not with kids. So what you see in Lab Laete’s photos is real joy. Lab Laete created such a relaxed and positive atmosphere at the photoshoot. We had a great time and are very happy with the photos!
Almira
We had a beautiful Christmas photo session with our son and loved the whole experience. Minela made us feel relaxed and captured warm, natural moments as a family. The photos turned into our Christmas cards for family and friends, and everyone loved them.
