Meet Your Chicago Family Photographer
I'm Lauren! I'm an outgoing creative whose energy comes from being around other people. I love to entertain, read, stay active, and travel.
When I'm not creating memorable experiences as an Chicago Family Photographer, I'm spending time with my own family.
As a mom and a wife, I understand just how fast time flies. One minute, you’re holding tiny hands, and the next, they’re growing faster than your heart can keep up and those tiny moments become a thing of the past.
It’s so important for me to document those memories before you forget them! That’s why I come to every session with an open mind, patience, and a lot of silliness—so you and your family can simply be yourselves while I capture the moments that matter most.
I understand how important family portraits are. They are so precious to me and I have my own family photographed at least once a year! While it is not always easy to coordinate, it is so important for me to document those fleeting memories.
Based in Northwest Indiana and serving Chicago families, I specialize in creating bright, natural, and candid images that you’ll love for years to come as your family grows.
