Kind words & Testomonials

"After my fiance and I got engaged, we immediately felt a boulder of wedding to-do’s fall on our shoulders. We sat down and noted our priorities and finding a photographer was on the top of our list. We started the journey of looking for a photographer and became incredibly overwhelmed when searching for a quality and quantity shoot all while being affordable and timely. Many of the photographers in our area were over budget and I didn’t feel as if we were getting enough product for the price!

I started asking for recommendations and I was given Lauren’s name. When I looked at her website, I was immediately impressed. I messaged her for inquiries about prices and her availability and was over the moon about her response. There was no other photographer in our area that was more flexible than Lauren! She accommodated my fiance and I’s busy schedules and got us in that week.

My fiance has never been the type of person to voluntarily get in front of a camera - so I knew he was feeling a little hesitant, but Lauren could not have been more warm and inviting. While on the way to the location, my fiance and I were looking at pinterest for poses and how to take photos - simply because we had no idea what we were going to do for an hour in front of a camera. It was such a relief when she reassured us of things to do during our session. Instead of poses, she asked us to complete prompts - which created a fun relaxed environment. None of the prompts felt forced and as a result, all of our pictures had genuine expressions.

I can’t say enough good things about Lauren and her passion for capturing genuine smiles. She was honestly just a fun person to be around and was constantly uplifting us. It was truly so much fun having her capture our love!"
