My clients say I'm calming and comforting, yet organized and fun - all the qualities you need and want in a photographer. I have a way of easing nerves and instructing your people, making the day feel effortless for you. My style is a blend of documentary and editorial, combining authentic storytelling with a touch of timeless elegance. I focus on capturing the real, raw emotions of your day while ensuring every shot speaks to who you are as a couple.
Hey - I'm Lauren! Virginia Beach based lifestyle and wedding photographer. Traveling to capture love stories of all kinds.
I'm also a wife, dog mom, beach goer, and coffee fanatic! I've been drawn to photography since I was a little girl. Over the years, that passion has grown into my dream career. It's truly magical experiencing every emotion of the day alongside the clients I work with - the joy, the happy tears, the excitement, and even the quiet, heartfelt moments in between. I'm not just taking a photo - I'm preserving a piece of your story, one that you can cherish forever.
DREAMING BIG
When I'm not capturing love stories, I'm daydreaming about chickens, garden beds, and the smell of fresh bread in a farmhouse kitchen. One day, I'll be editing wedding galleries with dirt under my nails, a sourdough starter on the counter, vegetables growing in the garden, on the most spectacular wrap around porch.
"I DO CREW'
We got married December of 2024 at the Norfolk Courthouse and had our dream wedding in November 2025. My hubby is everything I had every imagined a partner could be and more. He encourages me to chase my dreams and cares so deeply about me. Our little family is growing as well. Baby is due September 2026!
