Lauren was truly such a blessing to have as our photographer for our wedding! She is SO easy to get along with and kept us relaxed so we could enjoy every moment. She did a phenomenal job of keeping us on track with our timeline (and ours was very tight). One of my favorite things about Lauren was the way she pumped us up throughout the entire day and sincerely had fun with us! Not to mention her incredible talent and ability to capture the most amazing moments….stunning is truly the best word to describe her photos. We will definitely be using her again in the future

Lauren is amazing! We had the best experience with her for our engagement photos and wedding. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and is so easy to be around. She gave great instruction and also captured such beautiful candid moments. I was blown away just by our sneak peak gallery, which she delivered the very next morning (right before Christmas, which also blew me away). I’m so appreciative of all the things she did to help us not only with timeline/staying on track throughout the day, but her attention to detail and just what a great presence she was to have around on our wedding day.

I can not recommend Lauren enough!! Right off the bat her communication skills went above and beyond. She is so detailed and professional. She helped me to create a wedding day schedule and made sure everything ran perfectly day of to help put my mind at ease. We couldn’t have been any happier with the way our pictures turned out, they are so so beautiful! She did an amazing job of documenting every second of the day and the way she edits the pictures makes me feeling like I’m living the moment again. She is also such a sweet soul and brought the most upbeat and positive energy throughout the whole process. I truly can’t recommend her enough she is the absolute BEST!!

Wedding Photographer & Preserver of Memories

Hi, I'm Lauren

let's connect

Photography is one of the most beautiful ways to preserve memories, keep them alive, and pass them on. My job, as your photographer, isn't just to show up and snap a few photos. Rather, it's to document your story in the most authentic way that will allow you to remember all the little details of this point in time for years to come. 

It's More Than Collecting Photos, It's Legacy

As a mother, I know how fleeting these moments with our children and loved ones are. That’s why I am so passionate about documenting families and couples with a lifestyle approach. I want your kids to be free to be kids. I want you to laugh and run and leave your session saying, “dang, that was fun”.

It's the every day kind of love that makes life so special. Before your big day, let's capture the simple, every day moments— the moments where you're dancing in the kitchen, laughing til you cry, listening to your favorite song, and doing what you love to do. Whatever it is, we'll plan an engagement around what makes you and your love a one of kind love. 

Weddings are wild and wonderful and let’s be honest… stressful. It is my hope for all of my couples that they experience a day that is 100% a reflection of them and their commitment to one another. I want to do everything I can to make you feel comfortable on your wedding day, document those love-filled moments, and preserve memories from the most special day of your lives.
