Photography has been a part of my life since high school. As my children grew I began taking pictures of them and other children in their activities. At times, these images were the only images those children had of themselves in action. One father emailed me "You have given me a priceless gift". For over a decade I have donated my images to kids, their families, the Clinton Community School District, the school yearbooks, our community, my church, Valparaiso University, and for fundraisers at the University of Missouri Law School. The local Applebee's restaurant chose several of my images for a wall mural in their 2014 remodel. With opening my business I say photography is not just my job, it is my passion. I am an on location photographer who is open to new challenges. My main focus has been on special events including but not limited to family reunions, company gatherings, community, church, and school functions. Also offering photography for sports, party-pics, dances, pets, portraits, commercial, residential, floral, and stage productions. Many of my images can be found at http://laurishemwell.smugmug.com or https://www.flickr.com/photos/laurishemwell/collections Contact me to discuss your next project at [email protected] Peace be with you~ Lauri Shemwell
