-To clear up some confusion, "Laila Wessel Photography" is now "Laila Schu Photography." I just got married and am in the process of switching everything over to my new name. Anyone who tries to email me at my old name will still get through. My new email is: info@lailaschuphotography.com

May 2009

- This month I worked with a sports photographer shooting the NAIA Track Championships at SIUE's campus over a period of three days. We tried to cover every event and every athelete to be able to provide images for them to buy at the end of the competition. This was a great experience and while one of my first doing some track events, I loved every minute of it!

March 2009

-I am happy to announce that I have accepted a few new opportunities in photography and have ended my time at Wagner Portrait Group. I now work for a small portrait and wedding studio in Columbia, IL, Wagner Photography. I have also accepted a position as a part-time photographer for Southwest Illinois College. At these places I am gaining a wide variety of experience and continue to work for the Monroe County Clarion newspaper. Recently I have also had the amazing opportunity to attend the NCAA Wrestling Championships while assisting a sports photographer. With photo credits I was able to take pictures shoulder to shoulder with other professionals while standing up against the main wrestling ring. What athletes!
