When you have me as your photographer, I aim to be thoughtful in creating a safe place for you and your love to be fully yourselves. By doing so I can capture all the moments that are truly genuine. I want to deliver a gallery that you look back at and immediately think, "wow, these represent all the things I love about us."
"Cannot recommend Lauren enough. She is AMAZING. When researching photographers in Central IL, you will not find someone more experienced at shooting timeless and authentic photos. She helped us navigate the whole wedding experience and even traveled to Colorado with us and shot our wedding out in the mountains. It was a DREAM. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and was very professional. She helped make everything we wanted for our wedding a reality."
-Ben + Lainee Nickerson
"From my first call with Lauren I knew that it was going to be great working with her. She is very personable and is open to all ideas, while offering suggestions of what has worked for other clients as well. She truly captures the most candid pictures along with focusing on the detail and quality of each shot. She made posing for our engagement and wedding photos feel effortless. Not only is she kind and focused on high quality photography, she is also timely and professional. We cannot thank her enough for all she did to capture our wedding day perfectly. Highly recommend!!"
-Austin + Mikaela Gantzert
"Lauren was the absolute best photographer that my Husband and I could have asked for and wanted for our special day. She truly was the easiest and friendliest person to communicate with and go through the whole photography and day of process with us! She truly went the extra mile with everything that she did! The photos that she took will remain timeless, and remind of us of our perfect and beautiful day! I couldn't recommend a better person to not only shoot your biggest moments, but to have by your side on a stressful day! Would definitely go to her time and time again, and recommend her full heartily for anyone needing or wanting photos!"
-Simon +Taylor Sheppard
"I first found Lauren through a friend’s engagement photos and at that time my husband and I weren’t even engaged yet but I knew we had to have her as our wedding photographer because I loved her style so much! So I reached out right away and thankfully she was available for the date we wanted. She made sure she knew exactly what we had in mind for our day and helped us set up the timeline which was so nice to have help with! Once our big day came she was so kind and made us feel so comfortable. She was genuinely the best person to have photograph our once in a lifetime day. All of our wedding photos are so gorgeous, we love them so much and can’t thank Lauren enough for all her hard work in capturing our favorite moments to look back on and smile ❤️"
-Ethan + Morgan Pace
"I’m so glad we chose Lauren for our wedding photographer! We found her on Instagram and immediately fell in love with her style. From the beginning she was super responsive and answered all our questions. Throughout the whole process, she was so organized and on top of things which really helped ease some of the wedding planning stress. The day of, Lauren and her sister (our second shooter) worked so hard to get all the shots we wanted. They were both so friendly, kind and fun to work with. We just got our whole album back a month after our wedding and the photos are so beautiful. We are so in love with how everything turned out. We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer. Lauren is so talented and you can tell she has a passion for photography and truly enjoys her work. 1000% would recommend booking her for your wedding :)"
-Genadi + Emily Slavova
"I cannot speak highly enough about Lauren! I was in love with her style of photography from the first time I saw her instagram, and then she blew it out of the water with our engagement photos!
Then comes the wedding day and oh my gosh! Not only was she professional and easy to work with, but she was also so much fun to have with me on the day! I just got my photos back and I am so in love with them! She captured every detail so I can remember the special day perfectly!"
-Hunter + Madison Jones
"Lauren was the most fantastic photographer for my wedding I could’ve ever asked for. She was a delight to have with me throughout the day, in addition to my now husband (lol). The pictures turn out incredible, she puts you at ease throughout (I don’t know how to pose), and is so helpful in the planning process. I’d chose Lauren again in a heartbeat."
-Aidan + Ashley Fullreide
"Lauren did an amazing job with our wedding pictures! She’s cool calm and collected and got all of the shots that we had discussed before the day of despite having to work with both me and my husbands massive families and less than ideal weather conditions! She’s has a great eye and is wonderful at helping you pose in natural ways to get breathtaking pictures. I still look through out pictures and can’t believe how many amazing shots she got. Too many to choose from! I couldn’t recommend her enough and she would be a great addition to the team for any one’s big day!"
-Evan + Lydia Nestel
"Lauren is the BEST! She took our wedding pictures and we couldn’t have been happier!!! She was SO kind and made sure she knew exactly what we wanted. She even met with us before the wedding and went over all of our expectations. She is very accommodating and truly cares about her clients. She will be our forever photographer!!! Thank you Lauren!!"

I try to store files indefinitely, but I do not guarantee the storage of the images once the final gallery is delivered. I do ask that you backup your images as well, on the off chance that something happens to mine.
How long do you store files for?
01.
Booking with me is simple! Find the "contact" page at the top, and fill out the form--or simply click HERE
How do I book a session?
02.
Standard turnaround time for wedding galleries is 4-8 weeks after the event date. For all other sessions you can expect your photos back in 2-4 weeks. However, I include 24-48 hour sneak peeks for all of my clients!
How long is the turnaround time for our gallery?

Yes, I do! Every image has been hand-edited, one at a time.

At this point, I do not. However, when you book with me you will receive my wedding guide containing several talented, trusted recommendations.
Do you also provide video services?
