My first experience with a camera was when I was three years old.  A day after my parents bought their first SLR camera I grabbed the strap and pulled it off the kitchen table.  Don’t worry I have come a long way since then!
 
My family is my everything and after several losses I understand how a photograph can truly be priceless.  I tend to be a perfectionist, but ironically, my favorite images are photojournalistic because they typically reflect true emotion and therefore are "perfect" to me.
 
I live in flip flops, love natural light, and I see something amazing in everyone that I photograph.  My name is Laurie Walscheid and am the photographer behind August Avenue Photography, LLC.  I am based out of Arlington Heights, Illinois, and I service the surrounding Chicagoland suburbs.  I would love for you to take a look around at my work and learn more about me here…  Behind The Lens.
