Welcome to photography by Lauren! The links above, or in the right-side menu (if you are using your phone or tablet), will take you to all the pictures I have snapped & posted. Enjoy!!

CHECK OUT THE LATEST ISSUE OF Garden and Landscape!! Fresh off the press and all about Roses!


Guess what? Now there is a 'What's New?!' page. Be the first to see the newest pictures added to the website. And, sign up on the 'Subscriber Info' page to get notified when the next round of pictures are added, or when the latest newsletter becomes available!!



Greetings everyone! I am excited to share that I have made a few modifications to my site. I added a Nature Pics page (https://www.acloserview.com/nature-pics) to showcase some beautiful wildlife refuges, parks, and sanctuaries around the Biddeford area, with a sub-page on some Fall foliage (https://www.acloserview.com/nature-pics/fall-in-maine) from Saco (and soon the surrounding area).

My Subscriber Info page (https://www.acloserview.com/subscriber-info) was made so you don't miss any new shots I've taken. It is where you can subscribe via email to get first news of new pictures, the new newsletter/blog posting and/or a photography friends add. I hope you will take the time to fill out the quick, short form and subscribe today!! So go ahead, check both of these pages out! Don't forget that the Photos of the Week page (https://www.acloserview.com/photos-of-the-week ) is updated frequently with different photos and a short blog to explain why those pictures were chosen. Definitely don't want to miss these!!!

Additionally, I modified a couple of the bigger links and combined some pages under one umbrella. I snuck my the about me (https://www.acloserview.com/about-me/about-me-1) info, pet pics (https://www.acloserview.com/about-me/pet-pictures)and the Drawings & Paintings by Me (https://www.acloserview.com/about-me/drawings-paintings-by-me)pages under the About Me page, so if you are looking for any of those pages, that's where they'll be. Click the drop-down arrow and you will see all of the pages. To make it easier to navigate the BBBBs (birds, bees, bugs, and butterflies) page, I also created a separate page for each and placed them under that link. Now you can look at which ones you want without being distracted by the others just by clicking on the drop-down arrow and choosing which group you want. Note though, if you click the Birds, Bees, Bugs & Butterflies link (https://www.acloserview.com/birds-bees-bugs-butterflies)and not the drop down arrow, it will give you all of them together. So if you want to be selective, click the dropdown arrow, and choose what you want to see. Eventually I will delete the main page and just have the drop-down pages, but hey, that's for a future build!

As always, I am very happy to have you here and to share my pictures with you to enjoy! If you like my site and want to tell your friends, there are shareable social media links at the bottom of this page! (Something new as well!) Please also read and adhere to the copyright disclaimer!
