LET'S TELL YOUR STORY.

Whether it’s celebrating your pregnancy journey, savoring those first weeks at home with your newborn, or enjoying your little one in their newest stage, your moments deserve to be remembered and preserved. However, you don't need a special occasion to create lasting memories with your family. Time moves fast and in the chaos we don't often stop to truly embrace the present. Reflecting on images of us with loved ones helps us see and appreciate the beauty in the everyday. No matter what chapter of life you're in, let's get together and let me document the simplicity and joy that make up your beautiful life.

WELCOME! I'M LAUREN.

As a mama of three, I truly understand how quickly children change and grow. My desire to hold onto their fleeting childhood is what reignited my love for photography. However, I have also come to realize that it's important to not only document their moments, but to be a part of them. While I love capturing images of your babies, I'm also passionate about getting you in front of the camera connecting with them. These photographs will serve as a visual record of the bond you share, and of your favorite times together.

Overall my mission is simple: to document the love and authentic relationships that define your family, whether you're gathered in the picturesque landscapes of northern Michigan or within the intimate walls of your own home. These are the images and memories that I believe will be cherished for many years to come. I look forward to working with you!
