A Mom — And So Much More
From Behind the Scenes to Center Stage
Hi, I’m Lauren — Wife, Mom, Photographer, Book Lover, and a Woman learning to carve out time for her own passions in the midst of Motherhood.
For a long time, my world revolved around everyone else. Like so many Moms, I gave everything to my family — and I wouldn’t trade that for the world. But somewhere between diaper bags and school lunches, I started to forget what made me light up. That changed the day I picked up a camera and realized I still had a story to tell.

Turning Passion Into Purpose Behind the Lens
Photography became my creative outlet, my pause button, and eventually, my calling.
What started as a quiet escape—a way to slow down and soak in the beauty of the everyday—soon became the space where I felt most like me. It was never just about taking pictures. It was about noticing the light pouring through the window, the tiny toes of a growing toddler, or the stillness of a quiet morning coffee. Photography taught me to see again—not just the world, but myself.
Through the lens, I rediscovered parts of me that had been buried under the daily to-dos of Motherhood. It reminded me that I’m not just a Mom — I’m a creator, a dreamer, and a storyteller. Someone who deserves space to explore and express life’s meaningful moments.
Now, photography is woven into everything I do—from family life to passion projects and everything in between. Whether I’m capturing a giggle-filled golden hour session or documenting the beauty in everyday chaos, I’m always looking for the light. And when I’m not behind the camera, I’m editing with my favorite software, organizing shoots with my go-to gear, or playing around with creative tools I’ve grown to love (and now get to share with you!).
If you’re curious about what’s in my camera bag, what software I use, or how I style and shoot at home, you’ll find all my favorite tools, tips, and tried-and-true photography resources right here. I’ll only ever link to products I personally use and trust—because if it’s made my creative process smoother, I want it to help you too.

I’m on a Mission
Reclaiming My Health, Reclaiming Me
But one of the most transformative shifts in my life has been deciding to take control of my health—not out of pressure, but out of love for myself.
I’m currently on a weight loss journey, but let me be clear—it’s about so much more than a number on the scale. This journey is about reclaiming my confidence, showing up for myself with intention, and learning to feel strong, energized, and proud in my own skin again. It’s about being present—not just for my family, but for me, too.
It took real courage to take that first step. It wasn’t flashy or dramatic—just a quiet decision that I mattered enough to start. I’m still walking that path, with a mix of grace, grit, and a whole lot of determination. And while the physical changes are part of the story, the real win is what’s happening on the inside. I’m learning that small, daily choices add up to big, beautiful shifts.
Most importantly, I’m proud of myself—because I finally chose me. And that doesn’t make me selfish… it makes me strong.
“This journey isn’t just about losing weight—it’s about finding myself again. I’ve learned that showing up for me makes me a better Mom, a stronger Woman, and a happier human. Choosing myself was the hardest step… but also the most powerful one.”
