Suburban Goddess

I’ve been pulling my hair out the past few weeks trying to put together a website for my new company… MacLaughlin Studios is now a part of OMC Studios, LLC, a business venture that I’ve invested in with my great friend Mandy.  She’s quite possibly one of the most talented photographers I’ve ever met…  and it has nothing to do with her picture taking skills.

Mandy has an unnatural ability to put everyone around her at total ease… by the time she’s done shooting a wedding, she’s part of the family.  She doesn’t hold herself aloof like so many other photographers I’ve seen; she interacts with people, coaxing natural expressions and colorful personalities to the surface.  Her photographs are not contrived, posed or planned (actually, they’re extremely well planned… but she has such talent that you’d never guess it!).  What comes forth is a snapshot of a moment in time… not a picture.

Working with such talent at times is humbling… I look to Mandy as a mentor.  She has the kind of natural grace and calmness about her that I strive to achieve, and being able to work with her is an honor.

The site will be live on September 1st… I invite everyone to stop by.  The link is on the sidebar.
