Welcome to my photography blog where I share clients sessions and my life experiences on my little corner of the web.
Thank you for visiting my blog. Here you'll find my most recent client sessions as well as stories about my life and my family. Here is some information about me!
My name: Laura Kay Wootan
Age: 35 (although I am going to stop counting after this year)
Birthday: August 5th, 1973
My Family: I have a wonderful husband named Bryan and a six-year-old son that I love very much. My son only makes funny faces at my camera. He might just be slightly over photographed.
Education: Bachelors of Fine Art in Photography from The University of Texas Arlington. I graduated in 1997.
My style: I’m a journalist at heart. My portraits are story telling mixed in with classic portraiture. I strive to create timeless portraits. I believe that portraits are an investment in your family history. I believe children should see what their great grandparents looked like. I believe that every family should have a yearly family portrait. I believe a portrait really can say 1000 words.
The technical aspects of photography are every bit as important to me as the emotions and relationships I capture. You'll never find me shooting on anything but "full manual." I make all the decisions when I'm photographing. I don't photograph on automatic and hope the camera will do a good job.
I pose people. Photographers who claim not to pose because it looks "fake" just don't know how to pose their clients. Not posing people can make a beautiful Mom look ten or twenty pounds heavier than she really is!! I’m so not kidding. Posing people is an art. You can absolutely pose people and still have them look natural and animated. I pose my subjects because I want you and your family to look the best they can. If posing was a bad thing Tyra Banks on Next Top Model wouldn’t spend so much time talking about “the pose!!” Posing… it’s not just for supermodels! Posing is the difference between “snapshot” photography and real portraiture. I believe if you’re hiring a custom photographer they should be providing you a top-notch beautiful product that isn’t something you could do yourself.
I love beautiful light. I am comfortable shooting on location, in the studio and with natural light. I’m always prepared for whatever lighting situation I will encounter. I am obsessed with finding beautiful light and if it’s not there I can create it.
I believe without a doubt Mothers are the ultimate family historians. Mom’s that love photography are my favorite people. I fall in love with every baby and child I photograph. I love nothing more than to see how much they change over the years. I consider it an honor to be your family photographer.
Thanks for visiting! Please leave comments! I LOVE them!
