My style is genuine, thoughtful, and true to life. My goal is to help you live in the present on your wedding day while we seamlessly capture every detail, every moment, and every feeling.

Every session is a chance to document something that matters, a milestone, a relationship, a season of life that won't look the same again. My goal is to capture it in a way that feels true to you.

Before we shoot, I take time to understand what's important to you and the people or moments that matter most. That connection helps me photograph with intention, not just a shot list.

My Approach

Becoming a photographer wasn't my plan. My photography journey started in college with a commercial studio class I hated—very boring—and a camera I didn't really want (and couldn't afford–thanks Dad!) to buy. Imagine products on white backgrounds and being told to make them look interesting, make them "sellable"...hated it. It wasn't until I went rogue on the assignments and started using models in my product shots that I started to actually enjoy what I was doing. 

Long story short, I graduated with a degree in Visual Communications  (concentration in photography), started my business in 2011 while still in school and then became a full time wedding photographer in 2015.


Hi, I’m Lauren! A Bit ABout Me . . .

  • I’ve been a Louisville, KY wedding photographer since 2011. Since then I've shot over 300 weddings and a similar number of engagement sessions.

  • I graduated from Ivy Tech with a degree in visual communications.

  • I currently have two cats and I’ll adopt any cat that visits my house too many times.

  •  I love to garden and I’m currently pursuing master gardener training from Purdue. 

  •  I love to travel. I’ve been to Ireland many times and I’ve also traveled to Greece, Turkey, Italy and Scotland. 

  • I don't like coffee or tea but I will meet you at a coffee shop... they smell nice and cake pops are good.

- Amber

She was the first, and only photographer we met with. She’s no nonsense, straight to the point, and absolutely hilarious. She was more than accommodating when we asked for in home engagements, stayed in contact with us during the long gap between engagement and the ceremony, and offered support and creative touches the day of. I would absolutely recommended Lauren to everyone I know looking for a photographer, wedding or otherwise.

Lauren was an absolute delight to work with since the very beginning"

Whether it's your wedding day, your new baby, or your business, the best photos come from real moments, not a shot list. I want to capture what's authentically you.
