I'm Lauren, the creative force behind the lens, and I'm delighted to share a bit about myself with you. Nestled in the heart of my world are my husband, Darrick, and our two beautiful children – the constant sources of joy and inspiration in my life.

My journey into the captivating realm of photography began during my time in art school, where I immersed myself in the study of this mesmerizing art form. In 2011, I proudly graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, equipped with the knowledge and passion to embark on a creative adventure.

Over the past thirteen years of marriage and motherhood, my camera has been a constant companion, capturing the essence of our shared moments, milestones, and the beauty of everyday life. This personal connection with the transformative power of photography has fueled my dedication to preserving special moments for friends, family, and the wonderful clients who have entrusted me with their memories.

Beyond my formal education, I've continued to refine my skills in both technique and style, staying attuned to the ever-evolving world of photography. Each click of the shutter is an opportunity to craft a narrative, freeze a fleeting moment, and illuminate the beauty inherent in the ordinary.
