about me

I am an engineer by degree and a creative at heart. I know it's not a typical combination but turns out, that's exactly what makes me- me.

Hi, I’m Lauren!

Photography has always had a special place in my heart. I have always been the historian of my family.

I remember as a kid, being at family and friend gatherings and celebrations thinking that it was important, or even my job, to preserve the moments that we shared together.

Not only that, but I loved looking at these photos- my mom had this plastic bin in the dining room that contained hundreds of all these precious memories, ones that I was apart of and ones I could only live through the photo paper. It fueled my desire to collect more and more memories. 

And to think that I get to not only be apart of all your precious moments but to capture them for you also just makes the little historian in me so proud. 

Hiking in the Desert

I have a heart for adventuring. I believe that the world has so much to offer and it's meant to be discovered.

You'll often find me skimming the google to find the best flights to somewhere new. I think everyone should step out of their bubble and explore!
