YOUR Unscripted STORY
For me, photography is all about authentic storytelling—capturing the bond between people and freezing emotions in time. Capturing someone in their true element. In my experience, the most candid and memorable moments happen when you're having fun and feel completely free to be yourself. My real passion is giving you an experience that brings out that authenticity, so that anyone could look at your photos and truly feel all the emotions from those moments.

Hi! I'm Lauren.
I'm a photographer currently based out of Washington, D.C., but traveling all over and wherever you need.
Its nice to meet you! Im so glad you're here. I've been a photographer for about a decade, starting out with landscape and travel photography when I was in school, then somewhere along the way I fell in love with taking portraits and documenting love stories. I've spent most of my life bouncing between the East Coast and, more recently, O'ahu, Hawai'i. Filling up my free time with hiking, free diving, surfing, spending long afternoons on the beach with my friends... just a few of my favorite things in life! And as much as I love home, traveling is what really inspired my love for documentary photography; embracing the beauty of the raw, unfiltered moments. Finding the balance between planning a photograph and letting the moment unfold as it is.
In my photography, I also draw a lot of inspiration from the natural and unique details around me, whether it be soft mountain greens, boasting florals, or distinctive architecture. However, my most profound inspiration is you. I'm not interested in offering you a "copy-paste" photoshoot. I want to create art with you, capturing memories that are truly reflective of your story and personality.
My very favorite part about this job is meeting new people and making new friends, so lets chat! I'd really love to hear from you.
