May 2021-Year In The Life

Year in the Life sessions are reaching the mid point, and just when I swear I cannot love another month of time spent and galleries more, another month comes along and surprises me. May brought a few of my favorite things to document. And now, at the *almost* halfway point, these families have become more…

2020- Year In Review

2020 was difficult for a lot of reasons. In a year that could’ve left me having to close my business, I’m incredibly proud of the collection of images I have at the end of the year. My business, fortunately, made it out unscathed, and I feel more myself than ever when I’m shooting. These are…

Baby Call

I love documenting. I get excited to tell the stories of family every single time I’m hired. I’m just as happy shooting now as I was when I started taking documentary clients 5 years ago. There’s so much about real life that just speaks to the mother in me. Documenting newborn days at home will…

Year In The Life- August

Every month with each of these families is better than the next. I’m so honored to be a small part of their lives and so grateful to have each of them as an extension of my own family story. This month we celebrated a graduation, went school shopping, had a picnic in the woods, had…

My Story

Hello! I’m so glad you’re here! My name is Lauren. I am a storyteller and moment seeker from West Virginia where I live with my husband of nearly 9 years and our two children. I’ve lived my entire life with the urge to create and document. History, especially the stories of my own family, fascinates…

FAQ: What IS documentary family photography?

It seems as if family documentary photography is a growing field. More and more photographers are beginning to explore the genre. Each creative does things a little differently, though. This has led to a wide range of what photojournalism means for a family session. There is a difference between dressing up in clothes that you…

Testimonials

I will be forever grateful for Lauren and the fact that our tiny two bedroom apartment didn’t scare her off. My fiancé and I made coffee, snuggled, and read the love letters Lauren asked us to write aloud to each other. All the while, she snapped away, creating images I’ll cherish forever. This is the…

I’ve been documenting these sweet friends of mine for a year now to record Miles, the youngest of four children, growing and their family starting a new journey a few hundred miles down the road. Miles from “home,” Miles is home. I can’t wait to be back with these six again.

I’m at a stage in my parenting when my children, especially my youngest, still, very much, need me for many things. He’s still at an age where he feels safest and most secure when his body is next to mine. And I breathe it in, because I know that the harsh reality of raising children…

“And every day, the world will drag you by the hand, yelling, “This is important! And this is important! And this is important! You need to worry about this! And this! And this!” And each day, it’s up to you to yank your hand back, put it on your heart and say, “No. This is…

It’s been nearly a year now. My kids and I have been living, learning, and working at home since March of last year. My time running a business and creating usually looks a lot like sitting down to work and standing up 15 seconds later to help someone in the bathroom, break up a fight,…

We get up with the sun nearly every morning, I serve breakfast, clean up, and get ready for the day. Errands, tutoring, school, speech, and homeschool lessons have taken up nearly every drop of mental energy I have each day, but I started this year with a list of goals for self improvement, self love,…

Every month this year I will be documenting the same 11 families as they face the planned and unplanned moments 2021 has to offer. Every three months I will include another 6 families on that same journey, and all 17 families will end the year with a yearbook full of their memories. New babies, new…

I am a wife and mama to two little miracles from Morgantown, West Virginia. I’ve had a passion for photography my entire life, but when I had my daughter, I felt a deep urge to capture her every move. Her tiny baby feet and hands were changing every day, and I wanted a way that I could hold on to those memories forever. Photography is a gift that I provide my family with. I want my children to have authentic documentation of their childhood. I, wholeheartedly, believe that photography is an heirloom.

I am living my dream by getting to know other families and telling their story through a series of photographs. I love to learn about, and document, what you love about your family. Babies change fast. The beautiful chaos of life is something you’ll want to remember the rest of your life. Helping other families provide an heirloom for their children is my life’s mission.
