and I have been graciously called to cultivate and steward BY THE MAKER | WITH LOVE.

As a creative through and through, I find deep inspiration in the beauty of God’s creation as I capture life’s most precious moments. Through my lens, I seek to tell stories that reflect the grace, love, and truth of God's design.

I’ve been photographing weddings since 2019—first as an associate photographer alongside some truly talented teams, and now running my own business over the last few years. Those years shaped my eye and deepened my love for this work, and I’m so honored to now serve couples directly under BY THE MAKER | WITH LOVE.

While I began with weddings, my heart for storytelling has since grown to include family and couple photography—each session an opportunity to celebrate love in all its forms.

Welcome, I'm Lauren

As a wife to my husband, Billy, of over ten years, I understand the beauty of building something lasting, which is why photography is such a meaningful part of my work. Along with my husband and family, we’ve created a homestead we cherish, where we enjoy quiet days at home, but we also love to travel and embark on adventures. These experiences not only fuel my creativity but also deepen my understanding of the beauty in both the grand and the quiet moments of life.

Every session, whether it’s a wedding, family gathering, or personal milestone, is an opportunity to reflect His design in everything I do. Through the lens, I seek to capture not just an image, but the heart of the story—a moment that will last a lifetime.
