Our time together shouldn't be short lived - I want these photos to live on with you through your ups and downs and whatever life throws at you. Your gallery will transport you back to your love story and how you felt exactly at this very moment. The little details that make your story - unique.
No two love stories are the same and that's okay. It's your story to own and continue writing. You don't have to put yourself in a box- in fact I actually encourage you not to. Break out of the box, embrace where you are in the NOW. Along the way, I'll show you how beautiful that can be through photos that hold forever memories. Everyone is deserving of this. I'm excited to get to craft this experience with you - with these values at the center.
embracing where you are today - to live on forever.

How you’d like to reminisce about this day, 20, 30, 50 years down the road, still holding their hand. Pictures that tell your story, to be shown in your home, to be an inspiration to your great- grandchildren. See a glimpse of what your gallery could look like!

It was simply amazing! We felt so comfortable working with her. Can’t express how grateful we are. Her professionalism and hard work shines through every frame and picture. She captured every single beautiful movements & details from our engagement event. The photos came out extremely beautiful! We were looking for the best photographer, and we are extremely happy that we found one:) Looking forward to work with her again.
Lauren is the sweetest, most easy-going and fun photographer to do shoots with!! She makes you feel so relaxed and confident! I have absolutely LOVED all of her photos she has taken of me and my husband and I can't wait to do more shoots with her. If you haven't already booked a shoot with her, RUN to go to it!

I promise you - every connection built on love translates beautifully on film. Let me guide you through this. I would love to tell your story.
You’ll receive a styling guide, outfit advice, detailed questionnaire, location scouting, and a telling of a story through photos. From easy going prompts, to capturing details, to running around, to laughing, to soulful poses, you and your love will experience some magic! I show up to each session, ready to “feel the feels” and read the energy in between you. Then I intentionally direct the shoot around whatever prompts are going to embrace and best showcase your authenticity.
