ACCOUNT BEGINNINGS:

I created my blog in 2010 and, at some point, Instagram became another place where I could spread the word about my content. But in the beginning, it was a personal account. I think that, at that time, we had no idea that social media would be this huge!

FAVORITE SPOTS TO PHOTOGRAPH IN NYC:

I am all for cute neighborhoods — love the townhouses in the UES, UWS, and West Village. But I’m definitely obsessed with any place in the city with a great skyline view, like Dumbo and Long Island City. Also, I love to explore not-obvious places in the city!

LAURA LOVES NYC BECAUSE:

I love New York because here, I have fulfilled my largest life dreams, dreams that the young Laura perhaps never believed she would achieve. New York gave me reasons to start a business and made me connect with thousands of people I didn’t even know. It also made me meet other people who changed my life. New York has brought me friends for life. New York also punched me in the face. New York made me cry several times, because, like every great love story, we have had our ups and downs, and we have had moments where we don’t understand each other. But most of all, I love New York for all of the things I’ve learned that made me a much better human being. I cried, I grew up, I lived passionately. And, certainly, I will never be the same after New York.
