After winning multiple awards with my sketches and drawings, growing up I knew I needed to do something creative for a career path. Between my artistic eye and love for people, I can't see myself doing anything else. Now, with almost 15 years behind the lens and over 300+ weddings, I look back and still can't believe that I am doing something I love every day and that makes people so incredibly happy.

Being a photographic artist, I absolutely LOVE being right up in where all the action is to make sure I capture exactly what I'm visualizing! Whether it's getting down on the dance floor to photograph wedding guests at their most authentic selves or up on the hill almost getting ran over by dirt bikes, I want to be right where the best shot will take me. My passion for motorsports, photography, and people drive my success, and I can't picture myself doing anything else!
"Lauren has a real talent and eye for photography, and she is a freaking baby whisperer!!! She is very professional at what she does and makes you feel super comfortable from the beginning to end!!" -Whitney T.
"Getting three young kids to look at the camera all at once while smiling can be a pretty hard task, but somehow she has managed to get it done each time." -Rebecca P.
"Lauren has been taking our family pictures for years - family portraits, maternity and newborn sessions. I LOVE her professionalism, how easy she works with my kids and her personality sets such a easy going atmosphere that the pictures come out so natural and beautiful. Will keep going with her for years to come!" -Elizabeth F.
I had the honor of getting published in San Joaquin Wedding Magazine's Summer 2013 Edition for Drennen and Tanner's gorgeous ranch style wedding on page 62, 63 & 82. The location was at family-owned Dodasa Ranch in Valley Springs, CA when I was photographing through my first self-ran photography company, Lola Marie Photography.
Late last year, I received an email from Expertise.com explaining that I had made top 9 best portrait photographers in Pleasanton, CA. Thank you to all who voted and for this super sweet nomination, you are rockstars!!
