hey there, I’m Lauren!

CLEVELAND, OHIO PHOTOGRAPHER

My Journey to Capturing Your Story Begins Here…

Whether you’re expecting your first baby or you’re already in the trenches of Motherhood folding endless piles of laundry, chances are Life is busy (too busy!) and you’re exhausted. Planning a photo session? You wish…but, not high up on the to-do list right now. I did mention the piles of laundry, right? 


But you know how quickly life is moving and that this is your chance. If you don’t document today’s memories, how will you share them with your children? If you don’t preserve this stage in your life, how will you remember all the details you never want to forget? You are used to being the caretaker, and whether at home or work, you are usually the one always serving others. But it IS possible to have artistic portraits taken to document your journey through Motherhood and beyond to hand down to your children even if you’re a busy-do-it-all-yourself-no-one-has-clean-socks-and-you-are-running-on-coffee-and-evening-cocktail kind of Mother. 

My goal as your photographer is to take out all the stress and guesswork, and make this easy, simple, and painless? Okay, not totally painless, at least one child will cry, there will be whining, and let’s quit lying to each other and calling family photo sessions ‘so much fun’ and call it what it is…a total pain in the ass…BUT A THAT-WAS-SO-WORTH-IT PITA!

Before I was a full time photographer and business owner, I worked with children with special needs in the classroom. Now, I have over 11 years of experience as an artist and entrepreneur, so I can promise you, your in good, knowledgeable hands.

My process is unique, and so are my photos. You get to choose the photos you love and want to keep, and I plan out all the damn details. Plus, I’m pretty funny, sarcastic, and enjoy taking creative and unique photos.

My Current Obsessions.

Fun facts: My husband left his career in the medical field in 2022 to join me in entrepreneurship. We eloped in Iceland, I didn’t ride a rollercoaster until my 30s, and I have a slightly unhealthy obsession with manatees. Currently, we are figuring out life with 3 kids, trying to travel as much as possible, and running (sometimes away from our kids…sometimes to a finish line) in the cracks of time left in our lives.

“So happy we found Lauren! She has done maternity and family sessions for us and her work is artistic and beautiful! She works her magic with our young kiddos, they always seem to enjoy the sessions! She even provides outfit options and there are so many cute choices for all sizes! I highly recommend and can’t thank her enough! Pure talent!”
