My full name is Ahna Laurén Diecksmeier Whiteman, pronounced as (On a) (Laur ren) (Dicks-my-er) (White-man) i was born in Surrey British Columbia but have lived in White Rock British Columbia my whole life. I am now 21 years old and just Graduated High School at Semiahmoo Secondary. Finally now that those 12 years of lame old school is over, I work part time at a local grocery store, own and manage my photography business and i work with horses down at Fraser Downs Racetrack in my spare time with my Dad and our 4 legged giants. I love animals and have always had them. Right now i have 2 cats (Omar and Molly), 1 dog (Angel) and 2 horses (Yukari and Rosie).
My favorite spots to hangout where I live is at the beach or walking through our long mystic forests. My favorite colour has always been blue since I was a baby, everything had to be blue. As I was growing up my favorite thing in the world was rocks. To get me to stop crying as a kid you would just give me a pretty rock and I'd be content for days. I always said that I would always become a geologist. By the time I reached 8th grade though. I started thinking of other things |I could do besides studying rocks all day, everyday. For a period of time I thought about becoming a police officer, firefighter, a doctor, an archaeologist, geologist or an artist. If i were to be anything in the world though with no problems, I would love to be a singer. My inspirations are P!nk, Avril Lavigne, Carrie Underwood, Lifehouse, Bryan Adams, Fleetwood Mac, Nickelback, and Hedley. My favorite genre's over all though is Country music and Rock and Roll. From Johnny Cash to Hunter Hayes, and Joan Jett and the Black Hearts to Coldplay. I'm also a total movie geek and on my spare time at night I'll stay up for hours watching movies. I have too many favorites, so if you really want me to name them you'll be getting a list of about 40 films haha.
Now for the Photography/Media Arts/ Artistic side of me. As you know my middle name is Laurén and that is what I based the name of my photography business off of. I started Laurén Photography when I just turned 15 years old. I have two camera's now, the first one is a Nikon Coolpix P50, and my second one is my Canon Rebel T3 with 3 different lenses (18-55mm) (75-300) (150-500). I've had my Nikon since I was 11 years old and my Canon since I was 16 years old. I like trying a little bit of every different categories of photography but the ones I'm most interested in and enjoy doing is Landscape and outdoor Portraiture. The category I probably dislike the most is movement and motion photography just because it's super difficult to get an outstanding picture with no blurriness to it. I love to travel around to take pictures in different places and try new things. Besides for my photography I also make short and sweet videos and I create artwork. If anyone wants a slideshow/short video as well I'm happy to do those as well. With my Artwork I've never sold any before but I'm hoping to sell a bit one day. When I first started Laurén Photography I thought about calling it Laurén productions but I decided that the main focus of my business was photography and I would just have 2 small pages for my videos and art work for customers to view.Over all I'm just a small town teenager that loves living life happy and full of adventures. :) Hope you enjoy Laurén Photography!
