Freelance Photography by Laura Shmania-- Chapel Hill, NC

Creating memories from life's fleeting moments
Candid. Artistic. Joyful
Event photography

The literal meaning of the word photography is “light writing.” As a photographer, my quest is to capture the magical qualities of light and the beauty in life's fleeting moments; to tell a story.
Thanks for stopping by. Please check back regularly, as I add new photos every day!

My photos have appeared in numerous publications, as well as solo and group art shows.
I am available for events and artists/musicians promotional images. Contact me for rates.
