Meet Laurie

I’m Laurie Bishop, Creative Director and Photographer and I started Become Studios because too many talented women — 40, 50, 60 and still building — were walking around with photos that undersold them.


 You didn't get here by accident. Your photos shouldn't look like they did.

If you're stepping into something new, I'll help you build a photo library — headshots, personal branding, portraits — that finally matches the authority you've spent decades earning.

“…Laurie brings such great positive energy to the shoot. You can tell that she loves what she does; it's contagious. She also has great ideas about what looks good but is open to your ideas as well. I loved so many of my photos that it was hard to choose. I felt she captured the true me. She's awesome at what she does. I recommend her highly.”
