Laura Boyles
Laura Soule Boyles spent an idyllic childhood around the brackish, grass-lined shores of Bayou Davenport in West Pensacola, surrounded by siblings, cousins, and neighborhood friends. Laura has lived abroad and loves to travel, but now resides spittin’ distance from her childhood home with her husband, three children (ages 8,11, and 13), chocolate lab, bunny, four hens, and someone else’s cat. The family enjoys home projects, boating, and time with the next generation of cousins. An educator for nearly twenty years, she loves sunrises, coffee, Alabama football, books, babies, and Jesus.
