Hi, I'm Lauren!

I am an adventurous wedding and elopement photographer passionate for capturing all that I can of God’s beauty and goodness. I am currently based in Portland, Oregon and I have been happily married to my husband for almost 6 years now, taking on the world with our two daughters!!

I am head over heels in love with the pacific northwest but just say the word and you can find me on the next flight to a far away country or climbing mountains for the most breathtaking view. I find myself striving to discover the raw and beautiful details that often go unnoticed. I work best capturing moments of sincerity and genuine passion between you and your loved one(s). I believe in being goofy, spontaneous, imperfect, and honest. My secret recipe to capturing the perfect moment is literally just working with people and couples like you who shine from within. My heart is to truly capture the present moment that in the future will bring you back to the first spark of hello and inspire you to conquer whatever life tries to throw at you with your best friend at your side. That being said, I would love to get to know you personally and it would be an honor to help capture a part of your story.

“Lauren is just what every bride wants in their photographer! When my now husband & I got engaged, Lauren being our photographer was the one thing we were certain of during our wedding planning process. She has perfectly captured how our love has grown over the past 4 years. She reminded us to soak everything in & never rushed us. She was amazing with our family & friends & perfectly captured all the joy we felt that day. She is the most kind-hearted individual I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.”

“"Wow, there are not enough words to say how sweet and kind and flexible Lauren was throughout the two year long process of making our wedding happen. She made the changes from covid less stressful and then gave us beautiful photos from our engagement session, to our elopement in the woods to our actual reception a year later. I think having a photographer who puts you at ease and makes you feel comfortable when taking photos is not your thing is such a blessing! Can't say enough good things about her!!”

“We originally had her booked for our venue, when my fiancé’s father got covid… We had to reschedule and Lauren was the most understanding and flexible vender we worked with! She offered her prayers, which meant a ton to us, and gave us other options! We ended up eloping... I was worried the pictures would not be as good… but when we got the preview back— I cried!! I would recommend Lauren over any other photographer I have ever worked with! If she is not available, change the day so she can be there!”

“We hired Lauren for our original wedding plan... then COVID happened. We decided to change our wedding & move it up 2 months making it much more intimate, backyard wedding. Her dedication to supporting us & making sure that we didn't miss a moment of our day truly meant everything to us. I cannot even describe Lauren's kindness & presence. Everyone at our wedding raved about how attentive & nice she was. And I quote, 'If you were hugging or dancing with someone, she was right there to take the picture.'”

“Lauren is a hidden gem. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she is the sweetest little lady. Lauren did our engagement photos initially, and we knew immediately we needed her to do our wedding. She did an amazing job and started with me on our wedding day at 9am all the way to 11pm that night. So incredible that she dedicates everything she has to her work. And it really shows. We will be using her for all of our photography needs in the area forevermore.”

“Lauren was very kind, detailed and super patient with us. We originally had planned to go to Oneonta Gorge but unfortunately the trail was closed because of a recent wildfire. Lauren came to the rescue and offered us several options and other locations. We were absolutely satisfied. We went to a beautiful waterfall and took amazing sunset pictures. It was every couples dream. Couldn’t ask for better engagement photos. We were so grateful for Lauren to capture our special day in a raw and free spirited way.”

“Lauren is an excellent photographer, and really captured the love between me and my husband! We had never posed for photos before, but Lauren made us feel so comfortable and told us exactly how to pose, that by the end we were just wrapped up in the fun and the beauty of the Oregon Coast! Lauren has an eye for detail and really captures the love between couples. Our photos turned out beautifully and we even made one into a big canvas above our bed. I would highly recommend her for all of your photo needs.”

“Lauren was sweet, flexible, and an overall joy to work with. One of the main reasons we chose Lauren, was for her tentative eye to capture magical moments candidly... and she did not disappoint! She captured precious moments throughout the day of my husband and I that we did not realize others even saw. She gave great directions during our wedding portraits and captured our personalities and the dynamic of our relationship perfectly. I am so glad we found Lauren and would recommend her in a heartbeat!”

“Lauren was absolutely the best to work with. She's super sweet and has such a calm demeanor that made both my fiancé and myself feel so comfortable during our photoshoot. She let us be our dorky selves which made our pictures completely reflect us as a couple. I highly recommend her if in Oregon. We can't wait to go back for our first wedding anniversary to take pictures all over again, but this time in our wedding attire. We are absolutely grateful for our experience and to have met her.”
