I am a Texas Longhorn at heart and a transplant to the South Lake Tahoe area, which I have called home since 2006. Today. I am a destination wedding photographe...
We couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer. Lauren has such a fun personality that it made the day so relaxed and wonderful. Her professionalism and hustle to get the formal portraits done was appreciated by everyone there. Our finished photos are gorgeous! I wouldn't hesitate to hire Lauren again.
We found the photographer who we will use forever. Originally, Lauren volunteered with a community project I was affiliated with. Kudos in my book for being community oriented, always giving back. Then, a year later I won a raffle for a small shoot and got to experience her. Work with her, see, hire...? However you put it I think we're, like, friends now? Portraits, community service, engagement shoot, cocktail hour meet up, a pandemic, organizing better than any other vendor we used, dancing, family session at the wedding, a photo booth-- Lauren is it.
I hired Lauren for my elopement that was put together fairly last minute in Tahoe, which I'd never been to. I honestly don't think I could have put in less effort planning this elopement and Lauren was a big part of why it turned out to be such a magical day. She not only gave us incredible photos that we'll cherish for a lifetime, but between her and our captain/officiant (we got married on a boat) they chose perfect places for our ceremony, photos, and great spots for a romantic boat tour afterwards. She was also such a joy to have as our one and only guest. Having your wedding ceremony on a small boat with two strangers could have gone much differently lol. But Lauren (and Capt. Steven) were so much fun that I left feeling thankful they had been a part of our special day. Lauren sent me a few of the photos she'd taken before we even got off the boat that day and sent the rest of them soon after. They were so beautiful, they made me cry. Amidst all the fun we were having I barely even noticed how many authentic moments she had captured between my now husband and I. Her eye for finding the perfect shot was truly incredible. The wedding I planned by Googling "Tahoe Boat Rentals" ended up looking like an extravagant magazine spread. I'm so grateful to have randomly come upon her services and to have trusted her recommendations. I would 100% hire Lauren again and would recommend her to anyone looking for great photography.
We hired Lauren for our small wedding at Sand Harbor in Incline Village. We adored her pictures we saw on her website and went for it! So glad we did! Lauren has an amazing personality & is extremely talented! The pictures she took turned out amazing, we love every single shot! We recommend Lauren to anyone & everyone! She is a great photographer with a good eye, also pretty darn cool! 😎 📸❤
I could not be happier with the pictures Lauren captured from our wedding! She has an eye for special moments and was so skilled at preserving the emotions of our day. Every person that views our gallery has a huge grin on their face. Even my dad who was slightly ambivalent about the pricing at first stated, "the pictures were worth the extra money". Coming from a large family with 28 first cousins, he believes that our wedding had the best pictures out of any other family wedding we've attended (across the country). All our guests were also super impressed at how organized Lauren was and appreciated her directions to get the best angles and lighting. To sum it all up, she's efficient, has a great eye, and was a pleasure all around to work with
I absolutely LOVED working with Lauren. She was extremely helpful throughout the planning process. She had a list of recommended vendors that I found super helpful and I actually used quite a few. She was very responsive and timely via email. She truly made everything super easy! Flash forward to our wedding day and she was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!! She bounded into the condo like she had known me for years!! She was really fun and personable!! My mom and family instantly loved her!!! She didn't hesitate when we wanted to do some extra photos or add ins and all of our pictures turned out AMAZING !!! She was super flexible with the photo booth too while I figured out if I was going to use it and I'm so glad I did!!! Her website for picture download is super user friendly and has been great and easy to share with our family and friends. I loved everything about our experience with Lauren and will definitely request her services in the future with life events!!!! I highly recommend Lauren!!!! Her skills are amazing and an added bonus she is super fun to have at your side all day!!!!!
Wedding planning was especially stressful for us as we had (at last) minute scrapped our plans of a large traditional wedding and chose to relocate to a smaller one in South Lake Tahoe. It was long and tedious sorting through all the vendors and ever more difficult since we do not live near Tahoe so all communication was via phone calls or email. I stumbled upon Lauren’s work by chance and honestly, it was the best thing that could’ve happened. Not only was she prompt and quick to respond to my emails but she really took the time to help me with any questions or concerns I might have had. There wasn’t a feeling of a canned response or the typical “you’re just another number” client experience. Flash forward to the wedding day my groom and I chose to have a private first look experience. It was our first time meeting Lauren and it honestly felt like we had been friends for years! She made sure to make us feel comfortable, happy and truly made the moment more special than I think any other photographer would have done! The over all day was an absolute blast in large parts to her. Everyone loved working with her and the pictures we just received back shows it! They are beyond STUNNING and I can’t wait to hang them in our home.

I am a Texas Longhorn at heart and a transplant to the South Lake Tahoe area, which I have called home since 2006. Today. I am a destination wedding photographer available for event, portrait and wedding photography in the Austin, TX area, along with Reno/Tahoe and beyond.
I love traveling and I have the added benefit of flying for free so I'm willing to provide my services almost anywhere in the nation with no travel fee.
I have a Bachelor of the Sciences in Radio-TV-Film from the University of Texas at Austin, but discovered late in that I'm pretty damn talented at combining my education with my love of people into this kick ass job.
I am a strong believer in philanthropy and effective altruism. I donate 10% of my profits to a non-profit with connections to one of my clients. While the first few years I was in business I chose a different non-profit each year, the Boys and Girls Club of Lake Tahoe has been particularly in need of funding and so my efforts have been focused locally the last three years.
I recognize that not all weddings are lavish affairs. I love dance floors and whiskey fueled adventures, but I also have a soft spot for small, informal weddings and elopements or otherwise non-traditional weddings.
