about me

I am an engineer by degree and a creative at heart. With my unique blend of creative and technical we can create something new and special together.

Hi, I’m Lauren!

Hi, I’m Lauren and here’s a little about me! I personally think I have the best husband and best dogs, and really couldn’t be luckier. We travel and snowboard and rock climb and really enjoy cooking meals together, how could I not absolutely love this life?

I started this business in 2019, but been wielding a camera long before. This is not my full time thing- but I sure do care and treat it like it is.

I’m hoping to phase into a new approach to photography. A slow approach- most people call it ‘documentary’. Nothing makes my artist heart happier than to capture the essence of you and yours in any type of life setting. But what’s the hurry? Let’s slow down, savor the moments, and really be present for the time we get to share. Think 10% posed/smiling, 90% being yourselves and living life. Play with the toys, ride the bike, feed the chickens, cook a meal, get married! Your moments are so precious, and some day they become heirloom to your growing family. Let’s give that the proper treatment it deserves.

Hiking in the Desert

My heart is always chasing adventure—I believe the world is meant to be explored, experienced, and truly lived in.

You’ll often find me deep in a rabbit hole of flight deals, dreaming up the next place to discover. Stepping outside our everyday bubbles is where the magic happens, and I think everyone deserves to feel that thrill.

Traveling Wedding Photographer Lauren Kailan

Based in the Kansas City area, but always ready to go wherever your story takes me. Whether it’s a short drive down the road or a flight across the ocean, just say the word, and I’ll be there—bags packed, camera in hand, ready to capture your moments wherever they unfold.
