Maternity Photography Specialist Chosen By Miss America 2002 Katie Harmon
(PRWeb) December 1, 2006 -- There are a lot of photographers that serve the Greater Portland, Oregon area and surrounding cities, including Vancouver, Washington, as well as Orange County, California.
Nearly all of them will claim that they too do maternity photography. However, even a brief internet search shows that preciously few actually specialize in this unique type of photography… and only one has been garnered with praise, appeared in eight top publications, and has their work displayed as art in locations as diverse as maternity clinics and boutiques to yoga centers and spas catering to pregnant women. Only one has been chosen to be the exclusive family photographer for Katie Harmon (Miss America 2002)
The photographer I'm referring to is Laurie Ludes of LaurieL Photography (you can view her web site including her photo galleries at: http://www.laurielphotography.com/).
With her camera, she does more than simply take a few snapshots of your belly. Instead, she captures the beauty and feminine essence of what it means to be having a baby. Spend just a few moments seeing what could only be described as works of photographic maternity fine art at http://www.laurielphotography.com/galleries.php to quickly see why she is the top maternity photographer in the areas she serves.
It is her skill at capturing beauty that explains why she was chosen to photograph Katie Harmon (Miss America 2002) for her maternity and newborn pictures. LaurieL continues to photograph Katie's family as it grows, which includes her son Tyler Ebner who turned one year old in October of 2006.
A longer look at her photo gallery will also show why LaurieL's schedule is often booked, making her one of the most sought after maternity and baby photographers in Portland and Vancouver, and the areas surrounding those two cities. In addition, LaurieL travels to Orange County, California four times a year to service a large client base there.
In speaking with Laurie, she had this to say, "While there are a huge number of photographers out there, including photographers that are doing everything they can to copy everything I do, I am one of the very few that specializes in maternity photography."
When asking her about her schedule, she mentioned, "I'm so booked up right now that I'm working until very late into the night making sure I get proofs and images out to my customers."
Essentially, thanks to people getting gifts ready for the holiday season, LaurieL Photography is now completely booked. To schedule a time with her at this point will require advance notice. To do that, you can visit her website at http://www.laurielphotography.com.

Is Digital Photography Better Than Classic Photography?
When it comes to photography, the digital wave is very much in evidence and yet, both operate on the same principles. Both have a lens, an aperture and a shutter. The difference lies in how the image is formed. Classic or traditional photography uses film on which the image is captured and then developed in a darkroom with chemicals to give you negatives. These need to be printed before you can see the picture in its final form. In a digital camera, you bypass all these processes because the image is captured by an electronic sensor. You aim, click and almost immediately, you can see the picture you took in the viewfinder. There is no developing, no negatives, no printing. Just the sensor which is actually millions of pixels or megapixels w...
