Laura Wight Photography
Meet Laura! Owner of Laura Wight Photography. Register since 2014. LWP is located in North East in Cecil County. Her roles and titles include follower of Christ, mother, wife, photographer, vegetarian, veteran and coffee lover! LWP offers studio and outdoor portraiture photography from babies to families with a focus on high school senior portraits. Photography is a passion that burns within her soul. She grew up being the one with family & friends who would never be without a camera. This carries though with her today. Her logic: She simply doesn’t want to miss anything that someday may be treasured by her or someone else. Life is so fleeting. Being a photographer for 10 years now, capturing many photographs of people that have passed on, she has been told how special those photographs are to their loved ones. This gives her a sense of purpose and fulfills her need to accomplish something bigger than herself in this life. As she goes forward, she will continue to be driven by my passion for capturing the present knowing with the knowledge of its potential future value. Her passion comes through in her work and I have seen that firsthand. She is ready to bottle up that present with you and your family.
