Lauren is a gift to our family. She has such an incredible eye for capturing candid moments and turning them into something beautiful. You can tell she has a vision for her clients before she even meets you and once she does, she turns that vision into magic. I cannot express how talented she is and how comfortable I felt being in her presence. I’m grateful for her and her creativity. She is a friend to me and you would be one of the lucky ones to have her capture any season of your life.
Lauren is absolutely incredible! She completely blew us away with our engagement shoot and wedding day photos. Lauren is so easy to work with — makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and you can truly see that photography is her calling! She is so talented and the way she’s able to capture beautiful, organic moments is like no other! We cannot wait to work with her again!

Each time I met with Lauren I felt so heard and taken care of. I could trust her with the specific things I knew I wanted and also allow her creativity to take the reins. Every time I look back on my pictures I feel exactly what I felt in that moment and I can't believe she captured it. A true testament to how much Lauren cares about what you want to receive and the craft it takes to pull that off and deliver it right back to you.

My husband and I were absolutely blown away by Lauren's photography skills, professionalism, and ability to make her clients feel like close friends. We couldn't have felt more comfortable and confident during our wedding, and feel so blessed to treasure her beautiful work forever. We hope to have her document our special moments for many years to come!
