Hey, I'm Laura
You've probably looked at photos of yourself before and thought, "That's not how I actually look." Or maybe you've already decided you're just not a photogenic person. Either way, you show up to a session hoping for the best, but kind of bracing for photos you'll never use. I've been photographing people for over 19 years, and the thing I've learned is that the best shots almost n
ever happen when someone's trying to pose. They happen in the middle of a story, when someone's laughing at a terrible joke, or when I ask what made their best friend fall in love with them and they light up answering it. And that’s precisely why I ask those questions. I also tell jokes that definitely don't land… That's part of the plan, too. When I'm not photographing, I'm trying to visit every Major League Baseball stadium with my mom (current count: 12) or figuring out which production of Wicked to see next (current count: 16).
