One of the things I have learned throughout my career and especially my current job, is the importance of self-assigning shoots to challenge fulfill myself creatively in the absence or dearth of such opportunities at work. I love an environmental portrait and the way the spaces we inhabit tell a story about who we are. I knew of Laura Homsey through social media, although I mostly knew her by her business name, Petit Paper Stories. She creates whimsical, custom paper cutout art in a cozy studio and she was gracious and patient enough to allow me to make some portraits of her back in March.
