Hi! I’m Laurie, and I am in love with photography. Some might even say I’m a little obsessed! I love losing myself in it. In general, I am a bit lost, a bit confused, and a bit too soft, but I’m muddling my way through. Photography helps. I love all kinds of photography, but I’ve found that I seem to have a special, unexpected love for self portraits. The reason is this: While photography in and of itself is an emotional, creative outlet, for me, doing self portraits is even more so. I’m an emotional person, and sometimes I feel the need to try to convey exactly what I’m feeling. The best way I know how to do this is by having, well, myself in the picture. I used to sing and write songs, but I had such horrible stage fright and was always so scared of being judged negatively. So, in a way, this is me getting to perform and let out my emotions, and it feels a little bit safer. (Although it still is a little bit scary!)

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area (but not actually IN San Francisco itself). Have lived here for way too long. :)

I recently graduated from the New York Institute of Photography. I’m currently taking a Photoshop class. Figured it was about time I learn it!

I feel a lot younger than I actually am.

I appreciate you taking the time to check out my work, and I look forward to seeing all of yours!
