Photography is Magic

No one in my family ever wanted to miss ANYTHING! I have 8 Scrapbooks of my life from birth to high school graduation to prove it! So naturally you could say I have a large respect for the little moments. All those little laughs and details caught on camera; one look at that photo and your teleported back! From the darkroom to the emotions they hold, photography really is magic!
Being present in this moment, not the next one, is the most important thing we can do in life. Especially when it involves the love of your life or the people closest to you! This can be pretty hard to do on a wedding day!! Thats why I’m here. To encourage the breaths, capture the connection, and turn those fleeting moments into something that lasts generations.

Testimonials

Truly a Hidden Gem!

When we got engaged and first started looking for photographers in our budget, we were worried that we wouldn’t be able to really get the photos we dreamed of. Luckily, we found Lauren! She’s affordable, insanely talented, and super fun to be around. She is truly a hidden gem, and we could not have asked for a better photographer to capture our day! She delivered SO MANY incredible photos that perfectly captured the vibes of our big day exactly how we had hoped. We wanted a lot of candid photos, and she understood the assignment!!! She has an incredible eye for composition and lighting. It is so clear she loves what she does, has been doing it for a long time, and has taken a lot of care to truly learn her craft. Not only is she extremely skilled, but she is super personable and professional too!!

We are not naturals in front of camera, but we felt it was so easy to let loose and be ourselves around Lauren right away. She fit right in as soon as she arrived and chatted with everyone, making my whole bridal party feel confident and camera ready! It was easy to trust that she knew what she was doing and was happy to answer any questions we had along the way, which helped us stay as stress free as possible! We are SO in love with every single photo Lauren took, at both our wedding and our engagement shoot. Finding a photographer that just gets you seems impossible, but you can stop looking because she is right here!!!

Say YES to Lauren!

First and Foremost, if you’ve come to find your Wedding Photographer, say YES to Lauren! After setting our wedding date in the midst of the chaos that was 2020, we decided to hire sweet Lauren to capture our special day. Not only did she perfectly catch every moment we had requested (and then some), but she helped us relax and enjoy our day. Even in the tails of a Pandemic!

And you know those perfect yet “I don't want it to look awkward” wedding shots/poses we all went so badly?? Lauren oh-so-naturally got us to lighten right up and tune into the moment, not the poses, for the entirety of our shots as wife and husband. She blew us out of the water with her talent and grace, AND she danced with us, nearly the whole night! Hello hilarious (but so entertaining) dancing shots we will cherish forever! Thank you, Lauren for giving us endless, precious memories of our most special day!

Felt Like We Were Just Hanging Out

Lauren was our photographer for our wedding last year. let me start by saying I’m not photogenic at all and would much rather not have my picture taken. I am so grateful we had Lauren shoot our wedding. From the moment she arrived her presence was that of a long time friend, she was extremely warm and friendly. Not once did i feel uncomfortable with getting photos taken and it actually felt like we were just hanging out all day! The pictures turned out incredible! She went above and beyond my expectations, I would highly recommend her for any photo needs!

She has captured everything from my husband and I’s engagement photos, our wedding, maternity photos for 2 pregnancies, yearly birthday photos, and more! We always include our horses and cattle in our photos and Lauren does an amazing job capturing the essence of our family and ranch! She is truly talented!
