creative portrait artist
Welcome! I'm Lauren
I'm a freelance photographer, specializing in traditional portraits, boudoir & cosplay, but honestly I love any chance to work with people from all walks of life. My style can be described as cinematic and posed candid. Mainly meaning I like to direct and guide you into various, flattering posing with prompts to help capture those genuine, and spontaneous moments, and showcase you and your loved ones in the best angles and light. Photography is and has been my main passion since I was a child, and I love bringing all your unique ideas to life.
Although I'm based in Kansas City, MO, I jump on almost any chance to travel, so if you're looking for a fun, caring, creative portrait artist, you've come to the right place! Explore a little and when you're ready, let's chat!

My Story
Hi there! Thanks for wandering into my little bubble of the internet! I am so thankful you're here.
​
Like I said before, My name is Lauren, and I’m 31 years young and have been aggressively pursuing my dreams for almost 15 amazing years! I’m a photographer at my center, but also love most creative activities, including cosplaying, dancing at funkytown and singing karaoke! I’m down for all the adventures, which is how I landed the super rad job of traveling the country to conventions to work with cosplayers from all over!
​
My roots have been and always will be in Kansas City, and I’m super grateful to see how much I grow in the beautiful studio space of the Oliver Building, alongside so many other incredible, creative women!
​
I’m a plus sized tattoo covered baddie, and a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community, and am the mother to a beautiful mini Aussie named Billie. Life is not at all what I imagined it would be - and thank all the stars for that.
​
My goal as a photographer is to help you realize the badass, beautiful, intriguing creature you are! I strive to create a warm, comfortable environment, and really pull out the real you (no matter how awkward you think you are in front of the camera, I promise, you'll feel like a rockstar - and look it, too!). I'm a very hands on and directive photographer, and love those posed candid shots, those in between moments.
To be honest, I just love people and photography and creating. So much.​
​
I wonder what shenanigans I'll get into next!
Hope to see you there!
