Here I Am World

First off let me start by introducing myself. My name is Laura Garrett and I'm a 20 something Marylander living the life of a Californian. I graduated from the Maryland Institute College of Art with a BFA in Photography a couple years back; let me tell you it was an adventure.

I took about 15+ photography classes in college, each one being completely and utterly different from the next. From Environmentally Concerned Photo to Large Format to Studio Lighting, I received a large range of classes that catered to any type of photography you can dream of. Except mine. I was never really sure what I wanted to photograph for the rest of my life. I felt like all my creative juices had dried up so fast because of the never ending photography classes that required me to have projects each week.

Until now.

It was just recently that I found my "artistic" side for photography again. Of course I had photographed a couple weddings, engagement sessions, senior portraits but nothing like what I'm about to show you. Of course these sessions I put my heart & soul into them but it's a different kind of soul that I put into my other photographs that I take.

Nature photographs have kind of always been my calling so I decided to venture out of my shell again.

Warning: Photo OVERLOAD

From nature to food to portraits, I love it all!!! There will be more posts to come in the near future, possible once a day? At least three times a week! I cannot wait to share what I've worked on in the past in hopes to have more experiences with all kinds of photography! 

keep shooting.
