I’ve spent over a decade capturing humans in all their forms & one thing has always stayed true: my camera is my way of helping people come home to themselves.🔥 Velvet Flame Photography is the cinematic, queer-affirming portrait experience by creator Lauren (that's me, hi!) I'm a plus-size, tattoo-covered artist rooted in the heart of Kansas City and fueled by anime/comic conventions across the na
tion and weirdos like you. With more than a decade behind the lens, I'm not JUST taking photos, I'm helping people come home to themselves. I focus on crafting sessions that are equal parts storytelling, transformation, and celebration. Whether you’re stepping into cosplay, embracing boudoir, or bringing fantasy to life, Velvet Flame Photography is your sanctuary. It's a safe place where softness meets intensity and self-expression reigns. Formerly All Things Lauren Studios, this "new" brand isn't a rebrand, it’s an incantation. Velvet represents lushness, comfort, and emotional depth. Flame symbolizes transformation, warmth, and fierce authenticity. Together, they conjure portraiture that’s luxurious, deeply personal, and unapologetically powerful. I give lots of direction that is equal parts hype, tenderness, and cinematic edge, ensuring every image feels intentional, expressive, and utterly you. Velvet Flame Photography was born for misfits, dreamers, gender explorers, quiet rebels, and big-hearted creatives. This is where your weirdness is welcome, your power is honored, and your essence is rendered in all its beautiful, blazing glory. Let’s make some magic. Let’s set something on fire (in the best way).
