Hey there,
nice to meet you!
I'm Lauren.
I founded my business at the end of 2019 after realizing how fun and fulfilling it is to capture all kinds of people and the moments that mean the most to them. I get a peek into other worlds besides my own, and that gives me such perspective and appreciation for humanity. We all want the same things deep down — love, purpose, helping other people.
I studied and worked in graphic design for a few years, but ultimately made the switch to photography primarily because the level of connection with people is unmatched. I needed to be able to get away from a desk and move my body, and I wanted the life flexibility and growth that comes with being an entrepreneur. I knew this path would also enable me to travel and see the world.
I had no idea what I was doing when I started other than a love for creating images. There have been plenty of growing pains, but this journey has been so rewarding that I can't see myself doing anything else.
What I 'm Into
values + hobbies
As someone who is empathetic and creative, I've always felt my calling was to use the arts to uplift others, especially those who don't always see themselves represented enough in media. I want bring a little more joy, equality and beauty to a diverse world that has its flaws, to say the least.
Learning to truly see, understand, and celebrate people who are different from me has been an opportunity to learn and advocate for their challenges in the ways that I can. It's taught me to build a chosen family and have deep, meaningful friendships.
Since meeting my partner in 2019 we've followed a less traditional path, so know that I'm not going to judge your relationship. There isn't a "right" way to celebrate your love, other than what makes you happy.
Outside of photography I love to dance, read, garden, and lift heavy weights. If the mood is right on the dance floor, I'll bust out a quick shuffle! When I travel, I'm always interested in checking out the local nature, people and cuisine.
My experience
My first wedding ever was in 2018, and now I've shot well over 100 weddings. My work has been published and featured in magazines. I've shot solo and with a team, locally and internationally.
I truly care about your love and your experience, and even after witnessing all these celebrations, each one is special and forever burned into my brain and heart. I will probably cry when I hear your vows. I will pet your dog if they come along. I will give you a big hug at some point.
I'm grateful to have connected with so many amazing people so far.
