I'm lauren
hey, friend.
I go beyond the staged “look at me” photo, and capture the sneaky in-between real and raw moments.
the quick snapshot
I am a Minneapolis and St. Paul (though, proudly living in the 'burbs!) based wedding, engagement, and lifestyle photographer. I capture couples and families that are full of love, with timeless photography. I also never say no to Chipotle.
The full story
A lot of milestones in my life have brought me to today - and I'm thankful for it. The highs, the lows, everything in between - it's made me the wedding and lifestyle photographer that I am. One that brings a sense of peace to whatever space and situation I’m shooting in.
My journey started years ago. I couldn’t get enough of the photos my parents had of their childhood and life together before they had kids. Their wedding photos are still burned in my brain, and I think I loved the thought that someday I could provide something like that for other people. As I’ve gotten older, I love looking back on photos as a child, and seeing how my mom and dad held me, and loved on me - it brings such a sweet perspective of their affection for me and the depths of which they cared for me and each other.
When I walk into wedding days, as well as the homes of couples with their brand new babies and children, I love capturing those interactions and moments for them. I want to give their children something they can look back on, and see the love that they may not remember, but was so so real.
my style
Above all, I love working with people that:
01.
are full of love
02.
cherish time

Enneagram 09.
I’m a 9 on the enneagram! So peace on your wedding day and calm in the midst of chaos in your family sessions is a guarantee!!
Chipotle.
Chipotle gets all of my money. ALL. OF. IT.
Vitamin D.
I love being in the mountains and I love being in, on, or near water. Vitamin D anyone? Try to keep me indoors for your photo sessions in Minnesota summer and see what happens (hint: I go crazy)!!
My people.
When I’m not working, you can find me with family and friends who are like family. They’re the reason I work so hard-time with them is so cherished and my motivation to keep doing what I love-aka taking photos of YOU!

If you catch me quoting The Office at some point on your wedding day or family session-it’s because I’ve watched the show in entirety approximately 15 times.

Lauren's work was everything we wanted our photographs to be: timeless, authentic to us, easily shareable, and thoughtfully presented. I know we'll use Lauren for all of our family photos to come!
