    I have to say, not necessarily relevant to the video, but you work so damn hard! I have Instagram, TH-cam, Vero etc and you post so much in depth content all the time! You deserve everything you get out of life because you put so much in. I think you post more content and more often than any other creator I follow.
    You are a shining example of how to give of yourself 100% in life and I hope you continue to grow and thrive, because you truly deserve it!!!

    As a fulltime caregiver for my family, I don't have alot of time. But the little time I do have, I endeavor to invest it well. Your instruction is a WISE investment. MUCH appreciate how you share all these personal experiences.. and with such brutal honesty, yes!!! So inspirational. I've followed your tutorials for a year now. Amazing how much you pack into one video lesson. I watch them again and again, and take so many notes! I have filled +200 pages of a large notebook of your generous instruction. Thank you so much for spurring us on, Laura. 😎

    Laura I think the biggest problem alot of people have is, what if they dont like my photoshoot
    what if, they hate it? I think they are worried that the people they shoot for is not going to like
    the style and ashamed of being turned down or what price they should give to their client
    to be interested, not to much and not to little. This is the part where we lose the motivation
    of what "if" they say no.

    The whole video was helpful but two things stood out to me, firstly is "How bad do you want it?" The second is the pressure to make your rent will push you to do your best and that is what will make you grow and reach your potential, I am at the crossroads of jumping over and this piece of info is what I needed. Thank you

    hello from Lithuania :) I recently started interesting in photography, I took a canon 760D camera and 3 lenses (18-135mm F/3.5-5.6 , 50mm F/1.4 and 12mm F/2.8) from my brother, is such a setup good for a beginner?
