A little about the girl behind the camera, because there’s a whole lot more to me than wedding photos.
I’m Lauren. A wife, a mom to three little humans (including a set of twins), a marathon runner, a physical therapist, and somewhere in the middle of all that, a wedding photographer.
My life is loud, a little chaotic, usually running behind, and full of people I love more than anything.
I’m a big feelings kind of person. I laugh easily, care probably a little too much, and will absolutely remember some tiny detail you mentioned in passing six months ago.
I’ve spent a lot of my life studying movement. First as a runner, then as a physical therapist, and now, in a completely different way, through a camera. I think that’s a big part of how I see people. I’m drawn to the way someone reaches for a hand without thinking, the way a dress moves across the floor, or how someone’s entire face changes when their favorite person walks into a room.
And motherhood? That’s changed everything about the way I see photographs.
I know now, more than ever, how quickly a season of life becomes a memory. How the ordinary things you barely notice today can become the very things you wish you could go back to.
I think that’s why I care so much about what happens between the photographs.
I want you to have the beautiful portraits. The thoughtfully composed images. The kind you frame and hang in your home.
But I also want you to actually remember what it felt like to be there.
To laugh until your face hurts. To hug your people a little longer. To have a wedding day that feels like yours, not one long photoshoot.
I’ll give you direction when you need it, probably make a fool of myself to get you laughing, fix your dress, and then quietly step back when the moment deserves to just be yours.
Because I don’t think a beautiful photograph is worth missing the beautiful thing that’s happening in front of you.
Anyway, that’s a little piece of me. A mom with running shoes by the door, approximately a million things on her mind, and a camera in her hand.
Really, really grateful I get to do this🤍
