Laurie Sachs
I am a wife and mother of four busy children who eats, sleeps, and breathes photography. I love, love, love my kids, my guy, my dogs, and my camera, a great book and a good cup of coffee. My background is in History and Art History and I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Humanities, with a concentration in Art History, and a Master of Arts degree in American Cultural History and Classics. I am a member of Professional Photographers of America, Professional Photographers of California, and the Santa Clarita Valley Photographers Association.
A constant admirer of art, I never considered myself an artist… that is until I found my medium. I’ve always had an interest in photography but after the birth of my first child that interest really grew into a passion. As a mother and photographer I think what I’ve always wanted to capture is a little more than what they look like, a little bit of their essence to tuck away and save for later.
I hope when I am an old woman, when my perfect children are just memories, grown ups raising their own families, I can pull out a photo of one of my kids and feel it, that “I love you so much it hurts” all over again. This is what I hope to share with you, the families I am so privileged to photograph. Let’s tailor your portrait session to capture the moments that are important to you- the tenderness of your husband with your newborn baby, the silliness between siblings, the joy you feel for each other.
Your life… beautifully captured.
