Laura Schneider Photo "Lend me your eyes, I can change what you see - but your soul you must keep totally free." -Mumford & Sons i want my work to make you feel something. outraged.

when i started my photography business at twenty five,
all i knew was that i wanted to create work that mattered. to that end, i've done a lot of adventuring, talking to strangers, asking hard questions, exploring mediums, embracing mistakes, pursuing collaborations, playing with subject matter, shifting perspectives, and chasing light... and always, it comes back to feeling. smell something. tas

te something. remember something. long for something. i want you to feel engaged. or full of love. and i really want you to look at the photos we create together and remember who you were in that moment. what life was like. what your dreams were. how in love you were with the people around you. what you feared. what worried you. what you were up against. what you overcame. say hello. tell me your story. because making work that matters to you matters to me.

No Kings III today in Nashville, TN with .

At least half of these photos were taken with my daughter on my hip or my son on my shoulders. Having them there with us today... I don't quite have the words yet, but I'm just so grateful.

I've been clicking away on this keyboard for an hour trying to put so many things about this day into words... but to boil it down to our average attention span, "thank you" could pretty much cover it.

So, THANK YOU.

Thank you for showing up.
Thank you for singing out.
Thank you for marching.
Thank you for holding space.

Thank you to every single organizer.
Thank you to all who worked to support those organizers.
Thank you to those who did it afraid.
Thank you to all who took a stand so someone else you know and love DIDN'T have to do it afraid.

Thank you, neighbors.
Thank you, friends.
Thank you, musicians.
Thank you, activists.
Thank you, teachers.
Thank you, leaders.
Thank you, historians.
Thank you, veterans.
Thank you, doctors.
Thank you, poets.
Thank you, lovers.
Thank you, fighters.
Thank you, dreamers.

And thank you, Nashville, for giving me hope.

It was a joy to be in community together today, AND we must remember that the real work happens once we head back home. Don't let your foot off the gas, friends. Tonight, we rest. Tomorrow, it's back to work.

An ode to deciding.
To show up.
To do it afraid.
To say yes and figure it out later.
To rise to the moment while trembling.
To do the work, whether or not you "share" the work.
To never give up on a better version of yourself.
To prioritize wellness in a wound up world.
To forgive weaknesses and build strength.
To get back up after falling... again and again and again.
To continue the climb.
To stand tall when the world wants you to be small.
To step into your power.
To own your story.
To follow your dreams.
To brave the shadows for as long as it takes to find the light.

Friends, I am not sharing much on here these days, as evidenced by sharing work today that was mostly created over a year ago... but I AM doing so so much behind the scenes... and I know you are too. What a time to be alive.

Working with over this past year has taken me all over the country. Seven states, eight gyms, so many climbs, and loads of good times. I am eternally grateful to (and his wife ) for knowing I was the right person to tag in for this rebranding job, and to the badass all women marketing team that has trusted me to bring an artistic vision into this commercial work. Looking at you, , , and . 👀

It is a joy to witness so many different through-lines of the human experience and such a gift to be trusted to capture the stories of individuals, small businesses, and big businesses in a way that celebrates real life.

Oh, 2025... all the ideas I've had about how to "wrap" the year were thwarted by two back to back rounds of the flu, turned double ear infection, partially ruptured ear drum, sinusitis and pneumonia... and honestly, I could let that be a damn good summary of the year in its entirety: leading with the best of intentions, and always falling short.

The highs were high, and the lows about did me in, but the truth is, when I start combing through the year as a whole, there's much more good than bad... there always is.

That's how gratitude works... you start to name it, and it multiplies.

And the thing that I am most grateful for is the chance to be a mother. Most days, I don't think too highly of my performance as a Mama... or how my mothering affects my business.

I miss deadlines when my kids are sick, I'm often screaming in on two wheels, with little sleep, no shower, and batteries that are literally and figuratively 50% charged. I haven't updated my website in years, I lose my cool with my kids more than I'd like, my partners get the short end of my energy exchange, and I never feel like I'm doing enough for the people I love... or myself.

But I keep trying. I try hard to apologize and repair when I get it wrong. I do my best to learn from my mistakes. To show up for kids in the ways I needed when I was younger. I am a constant work in progress and I am learning to be okay with that. To be silly, and spontaneous. To say yes to life, to mess, to play, to art, to love, to softness, to kindness, to care, and ease, and leaving space between all the things "to do".

So, year wrapped? Not hardly. No good way to put a bow on it... but I'll pour paint all over it and make a masterpiece.

Merry Sickmas to all who involuntarily celebrate. 🫠🥴

Here's to finding joy and laughter between midnight fever spikes and countless trips to the pharmacy.
