My name is Laura, but my nieces like to call me LaLa. I was born in Hawaii(hence the nickname-LaLa is my hawaiian name) and raised in Port Angeles, Washington. I was given a playground of beauty to photograph, even from a young age. I grew up number five in a family of six children, always outside playing and enjoying nature and its beauty. I grew up loving art and always having a passion for detail and lines, thanks to my father who is an architect. Photography has always intrigued me and i find it to be one of the most inspirational and challenging expressions of art.
