images that stand the test of time
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.
My Approach
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.

Hi, I’m Lauren! A Bit ABout Me . . .
In 2025, I lost my grandfather just a few months after his dementia diagnosis. We were incredibly close, and my grandparents were a huge part of my childhood. But while gathering photographs for his funeral, I realized I had almost no pictures of us together. Just one from when I was a newborn and a group wedding photo from when I was six. My grandparents hated having their pictures taken, and it was always easier not to argue with them about it.
I wish more than anything that I had a few more.
That experience changed how I approach wedding photography. I think more about the people in your life and what these photographs might mean years from now. The hug from your dad after the ceremony, your grandma’s reaction to seeing you in your dress, or a quiet moment with someone you love.
Those are the relationships I want to make sure you have photographs of, because I know firsthand how much they’ll mean someday.
I’ve always been an introvert. Growing up, I was the shy kid who spent more time watching than participating. When you spend that much time observing people, you get pretty good at picking up on the little things. Expressions, interactions, and moments that might otherwise go unnoticed. I think that’s a big part of why candid photography has always come so naturally to me.
My photography journey started in college with a commercial studio class I hated (very boring) and a camera I couldn’t afford (thanks, Dad!). Photographing products on white backgrounds wasn’t exactly inspiring, but once I started going rogue on assignments and incorporating people into my photos, something clicked.
I started my business in 2010 while still in school, photographed my first wedding in 2011, graduated with a degree in Visual Communications, and became a full-time wedding photographer in 2015.

MY TRAVELS
MY CATS
Lauren was an absolute delight to work with since the very beginning"
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.
