Storm Chaser Lauren Baca

Storm Chaser Lauren Baca Lauren Baca is an award-winning fine art storm photographer and storm chaser based in New Mexico.

Lauren Thompson is a fine art landscape photographer and storm chaser based in New Mexico. Her love of photography flows naturally out of the joy she finds in nature. Most days you can find her pursuing the stunning fury of supercells across Tornado Alley with her partner in photography and life Tim Baca, summiting mountains, scrambling up sand dunes, or gazing at the endless galaxies stretched ab

ove us in the night sky. She leads storm photography workshops each spring with Extreme Photo Workshops and loves showing all people the beauty found in severe weather. Lauren’s hyper-realistic style was inspired by photography legends like Wayne Suggs and Ben Strauss. She is rising quickly as an artist to watch with photos recently displayed in the 2022 Time Magazine sponsored FOTO Gallery at NFTNYC in New York City. Every image in her gallery is thoughtfully composed and carefully processed to represent the creative vision seen before you. As an artist, she hopes you connect with her images and truly feel the wonder, joy, and thrill of each moment.

Chased a beautiful, discrete supercell across the Texas Panhandle this evening! Some of the best structure of 2026 so far and plenty of big, close range bolts!

We almost got smoked by a bolt from the blue last night in Oklahoma! When lightning strikes that close the thunder is defeaning, which is why I immediately covered my ears!

Happy one year anniversary to the supercell of a lifetime! This day in our home state of New Mexico was unforgettable. Storm Chaser Tim Baca and myself captured this otherworldly structured storm with multiple amazing compositions. It also yielded the photo that changed my photography career— receiving Grand Prize in the New Mexico Magazine Photo Awards and part of my winning 2025 Storm Photographer of the Year portfolio!

One year ago today Storm Chaser Tim Baca and I chased this massive dusty wedge across west Texas. The Morton tornado was eventually rated an EF3. So far 2026 has been light on tornadoes for us, but I’m hoping June will be more active!

"Where Enchantment Dwells" - On June 7, 2025 the sky in Nara Visa, New Mexico opened like a revelation. A sculpted supercell towered over the horizon gilded by the fading fire of sunset. It was a cathedral of motion carved by light, shadow, and wind. A once in a century storm that imprinted on my heart. When I close my eyes, I can still see the earth awash in its radiance.
