Hello, I'm Lauren

your Wedding Photographer

I was born and raised in Wichita, KS and now it is the base of operations for my business as well as Dallas, TX and Kansas City, KS/MO. I travel all over the US and Abroad for portraits and weddings so if you are wanting adventure, just let me know because I will go anywhere and everywhere and take beautiful photos all along the way.


I have always had a sense of wonder for photography. Starting at the age of 5 I asked for a camera for every birthday and Christmas and then came high school when I learned how to use a DSLR and fell completely in love with the art of picking up the camera and telling it exactly what I wanted it to do and it would do it. To be honest this may just be the oldest sister part of me that always wanted to create order from chaos and have everyone do exactly what I said to do...


I started working in the Shepler's Photo Studio in 2013 and used what I earned there to start my own photography business in the Spring of 2014. I shot everything I could get my hands on including Seniors, Couples and Families but it wasn't until my cousin took a chance on me for his wedding that I found what I was ultimately passionate about! Weddings have been my one and only focus since 2016. The only time I have strayed from that path is for friends, family or past clients (whom I consider both friends and family).

My approach

 

After a couple of miscarriages, COVID, and losing my grandpa and my dad within a few short months in 2020, followed by the birth of my son in 2021, I started to really see what I love about photography in a way I hadn't before. I want to capture love in all its forms and I want to photograph you with the people you love most so those memories can last forever.


In mid-2022, I began taking on more family sessions and realized my passion for photography couldn't stop at your wedding day. I wanted to keep following my clients through all the different stages of life! As I have grown this side of my business I have had the immense pleasure of seeing how each couple has grown in their love and understanding of their partner.


Live your life with zero regrets of moments in time that you could have cemented forever. Take the time to capture the love that is in your life right now as it is something you will cherish forever.

"Picking a photographer was so easy after we met Lauren. She was hilarious and we just knew that she was going to make our wedding a dream. From capturing the dreamiest sunset pics, getting my husband to dip me all day long AND smile with teeth, and telling us when and where to be. I'm so thankful to have had Lauren there for all of it."
