A super talented photographer and life documenter and mom, designer, and … actually, she’s a cancer survivor too … I’m sure you’ll just adore Laura as I do. Her personal blog is here. Her photography blog is here. Her official website is here.
Have questions for Laura? Email her at laurav@reneepearson.com
