Hello! I am Lauren! I began my photography journey when I started modeling at the age of 18. Little did I know, it was soon going to be such a huge part of my life.

I finished my bachelor's degree in Biomedical Science with a dream of becoming a chiropractor, however, life had other plans. When my son, Noah, was born at 25 weeks and only 1 pound 6 ounces, my entire world stopped and he became my first priority.

For many months, he was my only priority truth be told. As he grew older and stronger, he continued to require intensive therapies and I wanted - I needed - to be able to stay home with him. I figured there had to be a way to do that while finding a career that I loved!

A friend of mine was looking for a wedding photographer and, because of my background, came to me for photography referrals. I’m not sure if it was me speaking or that I even took myself seriously when I said it, but voice inside of me offered, "I can shoot your wedding!" And, the rest is history!

(Trigger Warning) In 2020, my late boyfriend took his life, I came home to find him, and that forever changed me. With PTSD I had to go through intense therapy, reading self health books and learning to find myself again. 

Since then I realized how quickly a life can end and how important photographs became. It actually made me a better photographer because I realized how all those little things mattered.
