Laurie Viets-Wild And Precious Life Photography

Laurie Viets-Wild And Precious Life Photography Lifestyle, Family and Nature Photographer in Chicago, IL. My life and work are greatly inspired by the writing of Mary Oliver. Pay attention. Be astonished.

She writes,
“Instructions for living a life. Tell about it.”

That is what motivates my photography. I pay attention and find those magic moments in life-not just in special events, but the day to day too. I love to capture them through my lens and share them with the world.

My overflowing hard drives and phone storage can attest to the fact that I take photos every day, but I don't always take that extra step to share with the world. Now that I have three kids in high school I will be setting my intentions to creating more, sharing more and working more! Last Sunday I started off strong with two family sessions! Keep an eye out for some of my favorites from the weekend.

This is one of my favorite photos I have ever taken. When I think of the wild, beautiful chaos of being a mother this image comes to mind. There she is in the middle of a swirling mass of wild energy-children, husband and out of the shot-a dog-and she is loving every minute of the chaos. Blessed be.

“Sometimes I need
only to stand
wherever I am
to be blessed.”
-Mary Oliver

The images that I deliver are just part of the experience. I believe photo shoots should be FUN! I want you to love the finished product but I also want you to remember the actual shoot as a great time. Work with a photographer who makes you smile like this!
