my name is lauren.

and i shoot

tiny weddings

&&


intimate ELopements.

I’ll try anything twice and i follow 0 rules when it comes to shooting work that i’m stoked about. i care more about something fitting you than following a recipe so that things play out organically.

some girls wanna be the disco ball and some want to be the wildflower and some want to be the porcelain vase and i want to make work that reflects what’s in you.

my style has evolved 14 point 3 trillion times and i’d guess it will continue to- i like new places and new people and trying new things. being inspired by what’s right in front of my eyeballs in that moment.
  

we trust in
J e s u s C h r i s t
He is the source of the love
we feel for each other
and our couples

Mark and Porter 1.jpg

at the end of the day we

love a good meal

with friends.


good conversation.
genuine encouragement.



because that's what
we're all about--


family and

friends and


love. 

 

I'm uninterested in being a vendor.
i don't want to be hired help.


i want to be a friend. like family.



to take photos of you that
feel and breathe and move.


we're gonna have
to trust each other.

this is about collaboration
between you & me.

 

i want to create

rock n roll,

sick, punchy portraits.

photos that make you wanna
put on fuchsia lipstick


and wear sunglasses inside
and bob your head to whatever grungy, bassy, song is playing

 

 

a focus on micro weddings

fostering quiet moments
couples that are in love
editorial work
that resonates

stuff with guts

working together to create the sickest, most beautiful images of you at this moment in your life

and i want to take
photos that feel

like a gentle exhale,

or foggy plains at sunrise.


like hands holding sunlight and lying in green meadows.

soft and quiet.

if you let us in, trust us completely: things are gonna get real good real quick.
