Welcome to Laurie's website and blog. Laurie began her career at the age of 21 when she was hired by Kodak as an in house photographer. Just having graduated from Syracuse University with a dual photo degree from both the School of Visual Arts and SI Newhouse, she was well on her way to building a corporate photography business. Laurie has had the pleasure of working with and learning from some of the top photographers in the area before starting her business in Philadelphia. She currently enjoys a successful corporate photography business www.lauriepetersonphotography.com and added weddings to her business in 2002. At the same time, she began teaching non-silver photography at The University of The Arts and shows her fine art work locally as well as in NYC and California.
