Biography/Work Experience

Laurie Frankel began her career as an upscale retail graphic designer, art director, and ultimately creative director where she got experience communicating the message gracefully, clearly, and efficiently. One day, looking at her two young sons, she decided life was too precious to deny one's passions and switched to photography. Her style is contemporary and intimate, applying it to images of kids, food, still, and interiors. She regularly shoots for clients as diverse as Fresh, Serena and Lily Home Furnishings, Morgan Stanley, Target, Pampers, Enfamil, Coca Cola, Kraft Foods, Banana Republic, and Dockers. She has won recognition from Graphis, American Photography, Communication Arts, Luerzer's Archives, the International Photography Awards, and others.
