My love for
photography started as a simple hobby a little over 15 years ago, it was a natural
creative outlet that allowed me to see the world through a different lens. I'd
always had an eye for beauty and a deep appreciation for the subtle moments that
make life extraordinary. It didn't take long for me to realize that photography
was more than a pastime; it was a calling, a passion that I couldn't ignore.
But, like most
budding photographers, I had my share of doubts and hesitations. Could I really
turn my passion into a full-fledged career? Yet, my determination and
unwavering belief in my abilities kept pushing me forward. I enrolled in
workshops, attended photography seminars, and invested in the best equipment I
could afford. I knew that to succeed, I had to keep learning and growing, and
that's precisely what I did. I will tell you that learning never stops. There is
always something new to learn and grow as a photographer.
What sets my work
apart is my commitment to capturing real and imaginary, heartfelt moments. The best photographs are those that tell a story, evoke
emotions, and preserve memories. My family portraits are not just posed
snapshots; they're windows into the love, joy, and connection within each
family. The smiles, the laughter, and even the occasional tear, all contribute
to the beautiful stories that I weave through my lens.
I have a profound
love for Spokane and the natural beauty of the Inland Northwest. It's reflected
in my landscape photography, which goes beyond mere imagery. My photographs of landscapes
are a glimpse into the heart of the Pacific Northwest and beyond, exploring the
changing seasons, the majesty of the surrounding mountains, and the serenity of
the lakes. I aim to capture the very essence of the region, and it's a theme
that resonates with both locals and visitors alike.
As a local artist, I
aspire for my work to invoke a significant impact on the community.
I have always been
committed to making a positive impact with my photography, and that
commitment
extends to partnering with charity events to support a variety of worthy
causes. I find immense satisfaction in using my artistic talents for a purpose
that goes far beyond creating aesthetically pleasing images. My passion lies in
leveraging my work to make a meaningful difference. It’s an endeavor that fills
me with a deep sense of fulfillment, as my photographs find a new purpose in
contributing to these noble efforts.
Additionally, I've
been fortunate to see my work displayed on the walls of local businesses, where
it brings not only elegance but also inspiration to the environment. This
presence within the community is a source of immense pride for me. Looking
ahead, I am enthusiastic about further showcasing my work and reaching an even
broader audience, as I aspire to continue making a positive impact through the
beauty and emotional depth of my art.
My story is a
reminder that pursuing your passion and believing in your abilities can lead to
success and fulfillment. My photographs don't just capture moments; they touch
the hearts of those who view them. Through my camera lens, I've painted a vivid
picture of not only Spokane and the Pacific Northwest but also places that are as
near as your backyard. Reminding us of the incredible beauty that surrounds
us.
Today, my journey
continues, and I'm constantly evolving as an artist. I remain open to new
techniques and challenges, ensuring that my work stays fresh and innovative. My
story is ongoing, and I hope that it serves as an inspiration to anyone with a
passion, urging them to turn their dreams into a beautiful reality.
In Spokane,
Washington, I love being a local photographer and artist, and hopefully leaving
an indelible mark on the local community. "Photo Art by Laura
