Laura's PhotoFinish and "Laura's Lens"

Hey. Rachel here.

As I said yesterday, I have a little sister. She's two years younger than me, and she's the co-founder of Valley Vogue Magazine. As our resident photographer, resident review girl, and all around awesome sister... I have to give her a shout out. So, Laura, this one's for you.

First off, let me say that it's sometimes tough to be the older sister, but I gotta hand it to Laura: it's gotta suck to be the younger one sometimes. I mean, how can one not feel pressure from parents, friends and the like, to either A. not be anything like your older sibling or B. they're wondering why you're so different. But Laura is neither. She's neither my opposite nor my mirror image. She is truly her own person. 

Anyway, besides being an amazing younger sister, she also is a very talented little photographer.  If you look to your right, you'll see my profile picture... she took that. If you look at the previous post of our magazine cover... she took that. She is so gifted and I hope this gift one day blossoms into a profession. She's trying to start a photography business called "Laura's Lens." Check out some of her photos here and drop her a comment or two. She'd love that.

tlk 2 u soon,
