Laurie loves to create, to laugh, to love and to play on every shoot. Her images, products and artwork clearly reflect her insatiable
appetite for art.
Even as a child, Laurie’s artistic soul captured and captivated everything around her. Laurie’s mom gave her a painter’s perspective, and her dad gave Laurie her first camera. You could say that creative passion is in her blood. Laurie started clicking the shutter and the mouse at a very young age. While still a teenager, Laurie studied with several renown Chicago photographers - where she learned the critical difference between taking pictures and creating an image. As a young adult, Laurie’s work was noticed for its ingenuity, and she quickly landed in corporate America. Her innovative products and designs continue to receive industry recognition and international awards. However, as a mother of two (now three) small children, Laurie felt there were better ways to manage the demands of business and family, and sought to devote her talents to mothers and families like hers, in addition to commercial clients. So she gave birth to her “third” (now fourth) baby, Soben Studios. Laurie quickly earned a reputation as a talented artist. Through constant experimentation of light and lens, Laurie pushes the threshold of digital expression. Her work has been described as “Insightful. Authentic. Amazing. Honest.” Laurie’s commissioned art hangs in some of the finest homes in America.
Laurie sees the world through different eyes, and an ordinary camera. She can picture your soul, if only for a moment.
