Lauralyn has been residing on the Caribbean island, Anguilla, since July, 2014 - where the emphasis of the non-self-portraiture work that she produces using her iPhone 4S and her Go-Pro, along with the Instagram filters with which she edits her photos - is based on documenting the beauty and unique character of the island, her people and their pastimes, the sea and its creatures, and the historic architecture. Although her current surroundings imbue her work with an undeniably "lighter" tone than that of the photographs that she snapped in The States - her images depict Anguilla in a manner that is considered to be atypical, and a departure from traditional island photography.
In May, 2015, after taking a 15 month hiatus from dash photography, Lauralyn dusted off her trusty Sony Cybershot, and once again began staging self-portrait shoots. Additionally, she revived The Big Ugly by posting, and writing about her new images there.
Lauralyn was honored to have been asked to be one of the featured photographers in the fourth edition of, "The Mammoth Book of Erotic Photography", edited by Maxim Jakubowski, and was dubbed the "On-Location Girl" in Haje Jan Kamps' book, "Shooting Yourself - Self-Portraits With Attitude". Her work was also selected to appear in the See.Me book, "Exposures 2011". Additionally, she enthusiastically accepted the invitation to be a speaker on the topic of erotic photography at Eroticon USA 2013, in Atlanta, Ga..
Although Lauralyn's work has been exhibited in galleries on both U.S. coasts, she was ecstatic to have been given the opportunity to display her first solo exhibition, "Abandon" (a retrospective of her heavily abandoned-themed self-portraiture) at Duvall Designs Gallery in Millwood, Va., during the month of July, 2014.
