Laura Ashley Munro’s fascination with photography began at a young age, but she didn’t find much support for her passion. She was told photography was a nice “hobby,” but that she would need to focus on something with more substance and prestige if she ever wanted to make a name for herself.
For a while, Laura listened. She tried her hand at various majors, ranging from psychology to legal studies and education; none of which felt quite right. She even worked as a full-time paralegal for a few years. Finally, with the support of her husband, family, friends and clients, she decided enough was enough, quit and opened her own company, Munro Photography.
“I cannot say it enough,” Laura recounts. “You have to pursue the things that make you happy that spread joy and fulfill your being.”
