Scroll through my work and get to know me a little more — and if you’re ready to create something beautiful together, let’s chat!

Testimonials

Marceedes + Ryan

“Lauren was the photographer for our wedding this past September and we’re so thankful to have picked her. As an anxious person, I was very worried about feeling awkward for photos. Instead, Lauren had a way of making me feel a sense of calmness all day long, no matter what was going on. She captured amazing shots, and somehow didn’t miss a single thing! Not only is her work absolutely amazing, but her communication, professionalism, and turn around time is top notch!”
