portrait by Phil M.Hi, my name is Lara and I love photography.  I guess that’s pretty obvious.

The thing I love most about photography is making people see themselves in a new way. I want to provide you with a set of photos that shows you how beautiful you really are.

I also love the creativity of photography. I’ve always been very into art in any form: painting, drawing, knitting, sewing, corset-making, web design, print design, photo editing, crafting, even reupholstery.

I try to push the limits of my long-time (but fading) shyness by doing things that scare me, by getting out into the community, by dragging random strangers into my picture of the world as art. You may find me on the street randomly taking photos of strangers, sometimes bribing them with candy and always with awesome friends by my side. I love to get involved in community efforts and to get other people involved.

I love to learn new things and meet new people. I love to learn new things about those people. I love this job!
