I consider myself a memory keeper, believing that my purpose in this lifetime is to authentically document fleeting moments. With having gotten married myself and now having a little one, I go a little crazy about the importance of preserving the magic in life’s journey.

Lauren and her team are WONDERFUL. They captured all the important moments without being intrusive. They work efficiently so you aren't spending all your time getting photos taken. They help curate the shot and suggest better poses etc to ensure great output. I highly recommend them!
-Julia & Brandon
Lauren doesn’t just capture moments; she captures feelings, memories, and love in its purest form. Her work is dreamy, romantic, and timeless, and I know we’ll treasure these photos forever. I truly cannot recommend her enough; choosing her was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.
- Hannah & Maura
Lauren is literally the best thing that ever happened to us. From me stumbling across her to shoot my proposal to my now-wife to capturing our wedding day two years later, she truly was there for every moment.
She went so far above and beyond for us — keeping things moving without it ever feeling rushed, making us feel so calm not just in front of the camera, but calming our nerves, and somehow capturing every little tiny, in-between moment that made the day what it was. the way she captured every emotion and all the little details was so unreal - everything looked so beautiful and felt so true to us.
-Hannah Mckee
Lauren is an incredible photographer! She captured my friend’s wedding so beautifully and was great at directing people, and keeping the photo schedule moving smoothly. She captured sweet gentle moments and hilarious dance floor moments all in a beautiful way. She also did all this while like 8 months pregnant?? Wild. Very impressive photographer/artist. 10/10 recommend
-Ally
Hiring Lauren was a no-brainer. Not only are her photos so dreamy, but she knows her stuff! I loved that we could do a test drive with engagement photos AND she taught us how to do the iconic aisle dip so we could nail it on our wedding day. She was always willing to chat if I needed reassurance on anything or to talk about anything wedding related. She really went above and beyond for us and our photos turned out so amazing.
-Taylor
I genuinely don’t know how to describe the work Lauren did for our wedding. She went above and beyond everything I could have asked for. I went in with a mindset of wanting clear and bright, even though my overall wedding vibe was “vintage”. She not only gave me clear and bright knowing that was my first vision, but also showed me very early on in the day how the vintage vibes were looking through her lens; needless to say, I became obsessed. She knew what I wanted before I did! She will give you MORE than what you think you want. when you give her the chance to add her expertise, you will not be disappointed in the slightest. She also took SO much time editing out puddles, wrinkles, marks on clothes/buildings, just to deliver the BEST gallery. You need Lauren for all of life’s special moments!!

I WOULD LITERALLY PLAN MY PREGNANCY AROUND YOUR AVAILABILITY BECAUSE I LOVED MY PICTURES SO MUCH
-Liz & Colin
WHEN IT CAME TIME TO PICKING A PHOTOGRAPHER THERE WAS NO HESITATION OF WHO WE WERE GOING TO CHOOSE! LAUREN BROUGHT OUR VISION TO LIFE, AND MADE US FEEL SO COMFORTABLE AND NATURAL! WE COULDN’T BE MORE HAPPY WITH HOW OUR PICTURES TURNED OUT, AND WE ARE SO EXCITED FOR HER TO PHOTOGRAPH OUR WEDDING NEXT!
SHE IS TRULY SO TALENTED, AND HER WORK IS LIVING PROOF OF IT!
-Melanie
Lauren is the absolute best! She did both our wedding and engagement photos. The whole process was easy and smooth. She knows exactly how to pose you and can make any location look amazing! Her turn around time for us was so fast as well! I would highly recommend!
-Tia
If you want a confident, patient, sweet photographer that will make you feel stunning and comfortable, she is your girl!
Running a wedding venue and she is the number one photographer I recommend to clients.
She also went out of her way to take bridal photos of me when I found out I was pregnant and would no longer fit into my wedding dress for my wedding day!
Lauren genuinely cares of her clients and does phenomenal and unique work
-CHELSAE & DYLAN
LAUREN IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST! I KNEW INSTANTLY SHE WAS THE PERFECT PERSON TO CAPTURE OUR BIG DAY! WHEN I FIRST SPOKE TO HER, THE FIRST THING SHE ASKED ME WAS TO TELL HER HOW MY NOW HUSBAND AND I MET. I FELT LIKE SHE TRULY WANTED TO GET TO KNOW US AND WE WEREN’T JUST ANOTHER “CLIENT” TO HER. SHE IS LITERALLY AN ANGEL ON EARTH! LAUREN IS A TRUE PROFESSIONAL THAT CARES ABOUT HER CLIENTS. I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT HER. IF YOU’RE SMART, YOU’LL BOOK LAUREN
-Tiffany
Lauren was amazing! She came right into our home and was able to capture the chaos of our family and 3 busy boys perfectly. Our pictures are timeless and our session didn’t feel forced or fake at all! It was the perfect opportunity to slow down, drink some coffee with my husband and appreciate a slow morning as a family. I would 100% recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a timeless and nostalgic session! She knocked it out of the park.
