Creation

with purpose

 

At the core of my business is my faith. I believe God is the one who led me here and everything I create is a reflection of that. Photography, for me, is more than just images but rather a way to serve others, to be present in meaningful moments, and to love people in a genuine and intentional way.

welcome to my rodeo!

 

Part storyteller, part hype girl - I'm here to capture your real, joy-filled moments while making sure you feel completely at ease!


I specialize in capturing genuine, in-between moments that feel effortless, natural, and true to you (with just enough direction so you never feel awkward). When I’m not shooting, I’m probably editing the next best gallery, drinking a latte, hyping up my clients, or convincing people that candid photos are always the best ones.

My goal?...

to make every session feel comfortable and for you to feel confident and truly yourself in front of the camera. I focus on creating an easy, relaxed environment so I can capture genuine emotion and real connection, the kind of moments you want to look back on for years.

Testimonials

“Lauren is the best! We had so much fun walking around the pier as she captured the sweetest pictures of our daughter. She did a fabulous job of being present to capture pictures, yet behind the scenes enough to where nothing felt forced. We will definitely ask her to take more family pictures in the future!”

“When I received the final gallery, I wept. It was the first time in 16 years that our entire family was gathered together in one place and she captured it beautifully. To be honest, I don't know how she made us look so good, but I am forever grateful for her time, passion, determination and creativity to capture our time together. What a gift."

Lisa S.

"We had such an amazing experience with Lauren! She is seriously so talented and made the whole session feel easy and fun. We were laughing the entire time and felt so comfortable in front of the camera. You can really tell she genuinely loves what she does and is so passionate about it, which makes the whole experience even better. She puts so much time and effort into her work, and it truly shows in every photo. She captures moments in a way that feels so natural and timeless, which is something we will cherish forever. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer...she’s the best!"
