Hello and welcome! my name is Lauren.

I'm so glad you're here!

I value people who love memories, beauty in photos, simplicity, small things in life. I value people who have a story to share. I love to know how my couples met, the story behind a birth, I love watching my couples grow into families and capturing those milestones as they happen. I want to make them feel comfortable in their decision to hire me to become their family, because when they hire me I take them on like family.

I absorb their emotions, concerns, feelings, and I want them to be the happiest they can be. I want to know their story, how they've changed the world, what dog they saved, the meaning behind their children's names I want to watch them grow and flourish, and I want to celebrate their life with them; building relationships with clients is the foundation for memorable photos.

My business began in with the birth of my daughter. I had always grown up with a camera in my hand, but when my daughter was born I received a Nikon DSLR and was told to go share my gift with the world. I did my first wedding in 2011 and the rest is history. My business grew and flourished on word of mouth. One wedding turned into 2, which turned into 5 and a maternity session, which turned into my first bride becoming a mother and 6 more weddings. I help my clients in their time of need to find a way to document their day, their story in ways through photos that they can relive by viewing them. I remove the uncertainty about will I remember this, will I remember that? Every detail, moment is captured and documented, preserved for the rest of time. I create memories for a bride and groom to give to their future great grandkids. I make time stand still and memories carry on.
