Without Further Ado!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With a stomach full of butterflies, my heart pounding out of my chest, and lots of prayer...I'd like to introduce to you Laura Lu Photography! Through lots of prayer and lots of nudging from my friends...I'm starting a little business. Over the past few weeks/months I have been building a photography website. I've been so scared to "launch" this baby that I can't even tell you.

Please pray for me as I start this new venture in life. I'm so incredibly grateful for the ways the Lord has allowed me to grow in my love of photography. Every day that passes, I continue to learn new things. My heart's desire is for this "little business" by this "little mom" to be something that the Lord uses to bless others. It is straight from Him and I desire for Him to be glorified through it all.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo without further ado...I humbly introduce to you---

Wahhoooooo, how fun for those of us who have been following your blog to watch the Lord evolve "a hobby"
into a true talent and then take it one step farther into a business. Good for you and may be God be glorified by your venture! My favorite part of about the photo site is the diversity. Different colors and those sweet girls from the Ukraine, it warms my heart.
