I believe love is in the little moments—the way your hands find each other without thinking, the soft laughter between kisses, and the quiet in-between glances that say everything. My approach is all about capturing that real connection. I want your photos to feel like you -- natural, warm, and full of emotion. I’ll guide you just enough to help you feel comfortable, but the magic really happens when you’re just being yourselves. My goal is to give you images that not only look beautiful, but bring you right back to how it all felt.
My approach
hi, i'm Lauren
Hi, I’m Lauren! I’m a full-time photographer based in Kansas City, MIssouri, and I’ve had a camera in my hand for as long as I can remember. What started as a hobby turned into a passion for capturing love and real meaningful stories.
When I’m not behind the camera, I’m hanging with my two cats, going on hot girl walks, or binging Real Housewives. I’m all about connection, and I can’t wait to document yours in a way that feels like you.

Claire + Corey
Lauren, you captured our love as it is. Your work is authentic and you let us be us. You turned what we have into a work of art, and through your craft, Corey and I get to see our connection unfold like a story through your pictures. We always felt so comfortable around you. We had so much fun, and you were willing to do whatever it is we wanted! On your end you made some of the most special moments in our lives a masterpiece. Nothing was ever forced, and you didn’t miss a detail as our session and wedding day flowed. You have a natural and Earthy-toned style, which we love, combined with unique angles and perspectives to shoot from. It was everything we could’ve asked for and more for our wedding day. You’re a kind person who enjoys what they do, and that’s easily conveyed through the grandeur of the images you capture.
My husband and I were lucky enough to have Lauren photograph our wedding in San Clemente this past October. She was so incredible to work with and made us both feel extremely comfortable. Lauren’s efficient communication, schedule flexibility, and sweet personality took such a huge weight off of my shoulders during the planning process. We’re so obsessed with our photos and are blessed to have them to look back on forever.

My Fiancé and I had the best time during our engagement session! Lauren made us feel completely comfortable before and during the session! I was having trouble deciding on a location and Lauren had the best recommendations and helped us choose locations that matched our vision! When we received our gallery we were absolutely blown away and in love with the photos. She captured the most perfect memories that my fiancé and I will cherish forever! I am so grateful that she is our wedding photographer!
