Laura Gilbert Portraits
Laura Robertson Gilbert has been my friend since our older children attended the same preschool. Laura is friendly and engaging. I always enjoy talking with her. When Laura asked if I would be available to photograph her for a new project, I was excited. At a minimum, I would be able to spend more time with Laura and learn about her professional background. During my visit, I brought my camera. These photos were taken during the final part of my visit.
Many people are uncomfortable having their photo taken. (I become self-conscious too.) Despite the discomfort, people are more likely to engage in authentic discussions when having their photo taken. Since I enjoy talking, I usually talk to people while I take photos. I find people interesting and hope that my pictures begin to capture Laura’s dynamic and natural personality.

good for you!
I probably learn more about people when I talk to them when I have my camera. (This is not a metaphor). I watch people more and talk. I probably reveal more about myself too.

Laura Robertson Gilbert Did you see these photos yet? I included a batch from each place where we photographed. I can remember a little of each conversation by looking at the pictures. Do you see the last photo? It is a larger version of the photo I used as the thumbnail (but you can see the spoon in the larger picture.)
