Portrait of Washington-based lifestyle & wedding photographer looking at the camera

i'm lauren!

A Washington-based wedding and lifestyle photographer with a love for natural light, sincere connection, and helping individuals feel at ease in front of the camera. With years of experience, and having recently married the love of my life, I bring both a seasoned eye and deep empathy for the beautiful chaos of wedding planning. My approach is lighthearted and casual, making it easy for you to relax and enjoy the moment.

Drawing inspiration from the love that surrounds me. through family and friends, laughter and connection, my goal is to guide you through a heartfelt experience from beginning to end.

fun facts

that no one asked for

 

Highly Likely To:

Ask to pet your dog.

Ideal Superpower:

Teleportation. Mostly to avoid traffic and awkward goodbyes. You really can't convince me otherwise. Forgot your shoes? Teleport. Need snacks? Teleport. Left your charger in Bali? Teleport. No more Uber drivers asking, “So, busy day?” Just—poof, you’re home.

Deathly Afraid of:

Butterflies. They are 1000% glorified moths, which are also very scary. I'm convinced they can smell fear. I will die on this sword.

Unpopular Opinion:

Mint chocolate chip ice cream is hands down the worst flavor. It tastes like toothpaste. It's the embodiment of what happens when ice cream gives up on being fun. Zero stars. Do not recommend.

Céline Dion

Slaps.

Cocktail of Choice

Extra dry, extra dirty Beefeater martini. Double points if it's served with bleu cheese stuffed olives.

Newest Fixation

Gardening. Big gardening gal. Ask me about my lettuce. It's thriving. Tomatoes are a sensitive topic and I’m currently in a complicated relationship with my cilantro. But that's neither here nor there.

Favorite go-to form of procrastination

Probably aimlessly researching my newest hyper-fixation. Need the deets on stylish cat furniture? Lucky for you I’ve cataloged every detail.

Guilty Pleasure

I would have said being couch bound and emotionally invested in some sort of reality dating show.

According to my husband, it’s “Harry Potter before bed and Amy Grant Christmas music in November.”

In my defense, both are comforting & mildly magical.

OKAY Enough about me
