About us
Lab Laete is a small photography studio in Vienna focused on capturing authentic moments of childhood, family connection, and life’s meaningful milestones.
My name is Minela, and photography has been my passion for more than 20 years. Although my professional background is in electrical engineering and product management, photography has always been the creative space where I find the most joy. I love capturing the genuine essence of people — their laughter, their quiet moments, and the unique connection between family members.
Working alongside me is Katarina, an artist and interior designer. She studied at the Faculty of Applied Arts in Belgrade and brings a strong artistic eye to our work. Katarina carefully designs the setups, styling, and visual details of each session to create beautiful, harmonious scenes.
Together we combine technical precision and artistic vision to create timeless photographs.
