it's me, your photographer - Lauren!
ever since I can remember, I've held on to fleeting moments trying to memorize every detail so I won't forget. Growing up, I took photos of everything. Everything I desperately wanted to remember... and that pretty much never went away. I'm a hopeless romantic at heart, a dreamer, and find the sentiment in basically anything. Tissues stay close during the Father-Daughter dance at weddings!
it's my goal to help you remember every last beautiful moment of this season of life you're in; your passionate love, the way you and your partner lock eyes and get lost in the moment together, & how your babies laugh, play, and take in the world around them. It's the greatest joy to document.
Life is incredibly beautiful, even in the ordinary & mundane, it is so worthy of being remembered forever through printed heirloom art that can be passed down to generations. Hiring me as your photographer allows you to get lost in the moment without a worry in the world that you'll forget anything.
well, hey there!
"so whether you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do it for the glory of God."
1 CORINTHIANS 10:31
The verse I pray is on my mind every day I work at this little dream. I pray it compels me into a workplace of service to you rather than business gain. None of it is meaningful unless it's bringing praise & glory to my heavenly Father's name! I pray that you ultimately see Jesus through all of our interactions. This space he has called me to is SUCH a complete gift, and continues to blow my mind every day.
Thank you for being here!

ABOUT ME
I'm a marriage and motherhood photographer based in San Antonio, Texas.
I love Jesus, first. (period!) After that, I'm a wife, soon-to-be mama, health nut
(like the raw milk & red meat, f big pharma, and grounding kind - lol),
homemaker, incessant homestead dreamer, & biig coffee enthusiast. Also, bonus fact,
I'm obsessed with home births & may be looking into my doula certification soon!
If you check any of those boxes above too... we're pretty much on track to be besties already!
I married my honey (Josh) in December 2021, graduated from Texas A&M in 2022 with a degree in Industrial & Systems Engineering, and we made the move to San Antonio in July of 2023! I left my engineering career in 2024 to pursue photography full-time instead of a part-time hobby, and it has been everything I dreamed of and more! I'm in love with the Texas Hill Country, it's been my dream to move here since I was in high school - safe to say, it has not disappointed. We're both biiiig adventurers. I'd say most of the time you'll find me either strapped with a camera or hiking/exploring San Antonio with my hubs, our golden (Finley), and our plus one who is coming soon!
