About
Hi there! I am a Baltimore-based lifestyle photojournalist with more than 18 years of professional shooting experience. My early days as a newspaper photographer took me: inside a water tower, through the path of a tornado, up a 25 foot ship mast, and in harm's way of more wild pitches and full throttle high school linebackers than I can count. One day I woke up and thought 'why am I risking life and limb for a job that doesn't even involve a slice of wedding cake at the end of the day?' After all, a wedding is the ultimate news event in the lives of two people. And no two are ever the same. In my newspaper days I often wondered if the pictures I took really touched anyone. I never ask myself that question anymore, because I know that what I create for my clients is meaningful. Well, I'd be lying if I didn't admit that wedding cake is a major perk...but beyond the sweets, I also really enjoy meeting and working with people of diverse cultures and backgrounds.

Laurie was very professional, taking charge of the situation in order to get the shots the couple requested. At the same time, she was caring and personal. She was a pleasure to work with. The finished photos look great. She was a blessing to the day.

We were in a jam...last minute decision by a corporate group. They wanted to take a 250 person photo taken on a Tuesday, printed, framed, and delivered on a Friday morning to be given as a gift to an executive. They also didn't want a meeting wall as a backdrop. We contacted several photographers who told us that taking the photo outside could not be done, having a nice backdrop for a group that large, could not be done! Then. Laurie came to the rescue! She said it COULD be done and that she would do it. In fact, she met with me on Monday to deliver a matte to have all our attendees sign. She also brought 15 different colored sharpie markers for us to use to sign the matte. She then met with us on Tuesday, assembled the group in less than 20 minutes and captured the photo. She hung around for the evening and took candids of the group as well and provided us with all the digital files. On Friday, she delivered a breathtaking photo of the group with a gorgeous backdrop of the Baltimore Harbor. The executive was speechless ... and the group was thrilled. Laurie went ABOVE and beyond to make our experience a good one. We will absolutely use her in the future!!

Laurie was amazing! When we first met, she was well prepared and made us feel very comfortable. She asked questions I had never even thought of which was helpful for me in planning the wedding. She is very organized and responds in a timely manner to email and phone calls. During the wedding, she was very respectful of our timeline but was also able to get great shots that captured everything we wanted!

Laurie was a pleasure to work with. Our company hired Laurie to photograph a software users/development conference at Flying Dog Brewery in September of 2014. She established an excellent line of communication prior to and throughout our event. Which included identifying any specific intentions or requests that we had On the day of our event Laurie arrived promptly and well prepared. Throughout the day she was very discrete as to not disrupt any ongoing activity while capturing the event. She was also able to identify great photo potential for some of the staged photos we requested (such as event material and a group photo). Our end photos turned out beautifully! Laurie was able to catalog our event with high quality photos that captured candid interactions and gave a wonderful representation of exactly what we were looking for. I would highly recommend Laurie and Pure Light Images and am hopeful to work with her in the future. Kaitlyn McKendry Marketing Coordinator Vicinity Manufacturing

FAQs

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    I photograph everything, from weddings and families/kids, to real estate, corporate, conferences, editorial, product, food and landscape. My clients especially love my ability to capture emotions and fleeting moments, a skill I've honed over 15 years as a photojournalist.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    When looking for a photographer, I strongly encourage clients to compare quality of work and customer reviews, not just price. Varying degrees of skill and experience are often apparent when you look more closely at multiple photographers' work side by side. Some questions to ask yourself: do these photos capture peak action/emotion, are they well composed/framed, do the poses feel forced or natural, is the lighting interesting/noteworthy, do these pictures make me feel as though I'm there in the moment? Reviews are also a great way to compare photographers. Satisfied clients provide a benchmark for what you can expect from that professional.
