My spread in THE NEW YORK TIMES is out today in the Home and Garden section! I had such a great time shooting Erik and Kelly, of Urban Homestead fame. While I was there they made jam, worked in the garden, processed herbs, baked bread, fed the chickens, wore a bee suit, and let me play with their little black, nameless kitten. A special thank you to Nic who was the best assistant I could have had on the shoot.
Read it here and watch the whole slideshow here.
I love seeing people living like this in L.A. It’s so great and unexpected. And as usual, you shot warm and lovely scenes. I would have freaked on the bee keeper part though. NOT a fan of the bee at all. Can I ask you how this came about? Did you contact the Times and let them know of this gem or vice-versa? Just curious as to me, the NYT doesn’t usually print stuff this cool. Thanks!!
So cool, congratulations! Beautiful photos. I didn’t even read the article yet…heading back there now.
congrats Laure! This is wonderful! And they seem like a super fun couple to spend the day with.

Is your head exploding? I mean really, who gets to experience that in their lifetime? SO happy for you.
Congrats Laure! Beyond exciting and so well deserved!
jessica, summer, elsie, shayna–my head is exploding, I’m so so so excited. And you sort of never know what photos they’re going to use or what they’ll look like and so I was so relieved with their choices and how the photos looked. Phew. Nice to have all you ladies in my corner
I had a feeling this was your top-secret assignment! I just had a feeling when Erik and Kelly told me they were being shot for the Times that it HAD TO BE YOU. Hooray hooray!!!
Alissa that’s too funny! Also how did I only meet Erik and Kelly now? It seems we know everyone in common!
Laure Shulman. That’s what I’m going to start calling you.
hahahahah john. you’re making me blush!
Who’s the proudest mom?
Congratulations! Your photos look great!
