Biography

Laurie Goodman is the sole proprietor of Laurie Goodman Photography. Laurie wasn’t always a professional photographer; despite the fact she was inspired by her father’s candid photography as a child. Following high school, Laurie went to Queen’s University to become a primary teacher…after the birth of her 3 boys, her love of photography was reborn. While living and learning through life alongside her children in a self-directed manner and thousands and thousands of photos taken…Laurie discovered that she found photography to be a heart-pumping, self-defining creative process and outlet. Laurie is currently known for her emotive, candid portraiture, as a mentor and as founder of the Life MessagesTM Movement. She has self-published two Life MessagesTM books within one year and received awards in the area of Arts & Culture and the Milton Chamber of Commerce, Citizen of the Year for 2014. Her work with Life MessagesTM has lead to charitable work with Girls Inc., of Halton, Mighty Girls Inc., workshops and professional speaking engagements. Laurie Goodman Photography works out of a loft-studio space in Campbellville, Ontario. She believes that, ‘we all have stories..we all have a voice’ and asks, ‘life messages…what’s yours?’

What do you think is our greatest social problem today? Any suggestions to solve it?

I think some of our greatest social problems are: lack of inclusion, equality and tolerance. Through my business, I aim to help ALL people give a voice to their lessons which benefits the life messenger, the reader of the life message and helps us to understand that we are not alone AND that really, we are all human and should be treated and respected as such.
