“Moments deserve to be lived.

Memories deserve to be reflected truthfully.”

Lauren has been our Studio Head for three years and has over five years of experience photographing couples and families during life’s biggest moments. We’d love to be part of yours—here’s a little more about her approach and work.

“I care about your style, your story, and your vision. But above all else, I care about your experience. The moments I’m trusted with capturing deserve to be memorialized—yet always with the authenticity that can only exist when you’re able to truly live them.

I’ll be there to gently guide you through the balance of being fully present while still creating incredible photographs, knowing that this balance looks different for everyone.

For moments or sessions where we do have the time and energy to center photos, there is no reason it still can’t be fun, relaxed and personal. We will create space for genuine connection so that even those who don’t love being in front of the camera can enjoy themselves and have photos that reflect their true self.

I will never interrupt a moment to perfect a photo, because the perfect photo reflects the moment exactly as it is.”

Availability and pricing for events, celebrations, and weddings is provided directly.
