Hi, I'm Lauren!

I'm so glad you traveled down the road that has brought you here.

I'm a full time lifestyle and wedding photographer based here in Long Island, NY. Photographing love in all its forms is a career that I'm so grateful for.

I've forgotten what life was like before I picked up a camera.

I feel deeply connected to each person, big or small, that I have the honor of putting in front of my lens. And that's how I operate on a fundamental level. I believe in authenticity, kindness, and humility, and I am driven by emotion. I feel things on a visceral level, and that's how I photograph people - through a lens of honesty, emotion, and feeling.

I try to focus on those in-between moments that often go overlooked. My goal is to capture playful and intimate memories that bring out who you and your loved ones are at your core and have a ton of fun in the process!

Some fun facts


  • I started taking photos when I was 16 to use as references for oil paintings!
  • I attended SUNY New Paltz from 2007-2011, majoring in Fine Art with a concentration in Photography.
  • I love listening to podcasts, specifically of the true crime variety.
  • I'm absolutely a homebody - I'd rather curl up on my couch with a glass of wine than almost anything else.
  • My kindle is my prized possession, and my entire personality is centered around fantasy novels.
