Lauren

Meet the photographer

- Jenny W.

We had an amazing time with Lauren at our photo shoot. Her creativity and kind personality made her a DREAM to work with. I was floored by how the photos came out, they are absolutely stunning. I trust Lauren with my life!

- Emily O.

Working with Lauren was such a dream. My husband and I are not comfortable or natural in front of the camera but she somehow knows how to make you feel relaxed. We asked Lauren to bring a second set of hands because we know that it can be challenging getting 3 children’s attention and keeping them wrangled, and between her and her assistant everything moved flawlessly!

- Watson + Peter

So many beautiful pictures to choose from to hang up on the wall. Thank you so much Pearl!

- Megan S.

My experience with By The Maker WITH LOVE was nothing short of a dream! Lauren works hard to create a comfortable, fun and safe space for you to feel at ease while being photographed. She is exceptional at what she does and works with absolute integrity and professionalism. She captures images beautifully and the results are amazing! 10/10 would recommend!
