Introduction
Fall and Holiday photoshoot season in Montana, y’all! I offer free 15-minute consultations which you can book through my portfolio site. Please read below about my approach and philosophy as a photographer! Although I’m happy to provide guidance and recommendations, I see a photoshoot as a highly collaborative creative endeavor between me and you. Come to me with your visions. We can make it come to life together! I love traditional shoots, but I also love crazy fun ideas to play with together… I’ve got a diverse portfolio - from business’ website promotional photos (clothing lines, self-care brands, welding, massage therapy, etc.), real estate properties, couples/engagement announcements, save-the-dates, surprise proposals, family holiday cards, small weddings, corporate parties, and individual creative projects - I’m so grateful that my hobby takes me into such fun and unique spaces with people…try me! I focus on natural light and natural emotion. I don't shoot in a studio or with a flash. My studio is everywhere, and I love playing with natural light. My prices are intentionally more affordable than most. Your photographer fees should not cause you financial stress. A photographer’s job is easy: Capture the spirit that is palpable on a photoshoot day. The industry is saturated with fancy shooting that I believe adds extraneous fabricated emotion. I shoot with my camera, equipped with a few different lenses. I aim to capture the emotion that’s already present, and I don’t charge an exorbitant fee for that. Although I will ensure we capture all the posed photos with all combinations of people you want captured, I consider myself more of a documentary photographer, and it’s so beautiful! I work with Adobe Lightroom for post-production to make sure the final product is sharp and clean cut as intended, and only send the best ones, to avoid cluttering your inbox. I provide a link to a downloadable Adobe Lightroom photo album within 2 weeks of your shoot, sooner for short/basic shoots. I've been a hobby photographer for about 8 years, and slowly started taking photos mostly for family and friends' special events. 2024 has been my first year formalizing my practice with freelance work. For my first year as a freelancer, I am offering budget-friendly services. In 2025 I’ll raise prices, but still aim to provide budget-friendly services. I love being able to use my favorite hobby to bring joy to people, and so I'm here to work with all budgets to provide you with high quality photos of the special people and moments in your life.

Lauren was amazing! We are so happy with how the photos turned out! It was never awkward during the shoot, she had a few ideas and was willing to try some of the poses we wanted as well! She got some pictures back to us the next day and was just overall very easygoing and fun to work with

Lauren photographed my daughter's bridal shower. She has an amazing eye/talent for capturing the natural moments. She was truly a pleasure to work with; she is genuine and listens to the client's wish list, in order to deliver the desired outcome. Lauren's response time and turnaround time for the final link were very timely. I would definitely recommend her services. The photos speak for themselves! Thank you Lauren!

Lauren is AMAZING!! She was so collaborative with us prior to the photoshoot and she truly captured our vision! We had to reschedule the shoot multiple times due to unexpected weather and she was so flexible and communicative! Taking photos can sometimes be awkward but Lauren made the experience so easy, comfortable, and fun! These are my favorite photos we've ever had and we couldn't be happier with how they turned out! We absolutely recommend Lauren to anyone looking to get their photos taken!
