Q&A with Laura Novak, one of our Joy to the World Websummit speakers

Laura Novak is another of our accomplished speakers / photographers extraordinare in our Joy to the World Websummit on December 28. The inspired vision behind Laura Novak’s artistic
photography is to help families and couples grow relationships with one
another. During our short interview for the Joy to the World Websummit, it is
very easy to see that Laura Novak is simply living her dream!

Q: If you were not a photographer what would you be
doing for a living?
A:  I really love to be challenged, so I think
anything that makes me push myself creatively and think a lot about what I’m
doing.  I also love retail –
merchandising, product development and packaging design is something I am
slightly obsessed with right now. 
It’s way too much fun.

Q: What is your favorite location for
shooting?
A: I love
photographing at my clients’ home, it’s always something different and
interesting.  I also enjoy learning
about who they are and incorporating it into the photography.

Q: Who is one of the most memorable person or
subject you have photographed?
A: I always
find it interesting when I photograph people who are really well established in
their fields, whether it’s in the NFL, or well known business people, CEOs or
celebrities. There is always something very fascinating about those who have
worked hard to earn the top spots in their fields.  But I would say the most memorable work I have done is a
wall of Hope I created for the local hospital NICU which was amazingly
rewarding and gave me the opportunity to serve those who would probably not
otherwise have the means to purchase custom photography for their home.

 Q:
What piece of advice have you heard once and never forgot…something that you
truly believe in and live by?
A: “Surround
yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher,” Oprah
Winfrey.  As I have grown my
business I have had to make tough decisions about keeping only the most
positive influences around our team and eliminating negativity.
