My name is Lauren
& I want to take your picture.
I want to laugh with you. I want to be adventurous with you. I want to have a drink, or three, with you. I want my pictures to tell the story of my new friends. I am a South Lake Tahoe wedding photographer and portrait photographer also specializing in commercial photography, special events and adventure photography. I love capturing people in their element, whether it’s with the people they love or doing what they love.
What I Do
I love candid moments, dance floors, and fun. No matter how you’ve planned it, your big day is going to unfold naturally. My trained, photojournalistic eye gravitates toward the genuine, sometimes emotion-fueled moments, and nothing makes me happier than highlighting the fact that real life isn’t posed. While focused on Lake Tahoe wedding photography, I will travel too.
I want you to feel at home in your photographs. If it’s an engagement session, it should feel like going on a date (happy hour included). If I’m photographing a family, I want it to involve activities for your kids. We might scramble on rocks, climb in trees, or splash in Lake Tahoe. No matter what the situation, it’s going to be a collaborative effort that lets your personalities shine.
The first photo booth I ever set up was for an event I was hosting. It allowed my guests to get a little bit zanier than normal (especially with alcohol involved), and it was such a fantastic and fun addition I now firmly believe it’s not a party without a photo booth! Our Reno Tahoe Photo Booth rental includes custom themes, an attendant manned booth and promises to make your event a party.
I am available to fulfill the lifestyle photography needs of editorial, commercial, and corporate clients with a modern approach rooted in photojournalism. I value the importance of customer service, planning, and research on all my commercial shoots. Clients include Ski Lake Tahoe, Station House Inn, Harper Soul Provisions, Harrahs and Harveys Reno/Tahoe and more!

St Regis Aspen Wedding | Aspen, CO | Sarah + Tanner
When Sarah and Tanner got engaged and started planning their St Regis Aspen wedding, the first thing they wanted to do was to find a photographer that would fit their vision of their day, which included very little formal photos, no posing, incredible food, a relaxed atmosphere, and their buddy's rock'n'roll band from college.

The Best Tahoe Wedding Vendors
Whether you love wedding planning or hate it, choosing your vendors is one of the hardest decisions you'll ever make. If you're planning a Lake Tahoe wedding and want to know who my favorite people and the best Tahoe wedding vendors are, look no further!
It’s a SALE! On me! Help a sista aka a freelancer out!
I don’t often offer discounts, but now feels like the time to do it. I’m going to temporarily offer portraits sessions for future dates at 50% off literally so that I can pay my rent next month. If you are in the position to take advantage of this opportunity, it would mean the world. It will make the difference in whether or not I make it through the next 6-8 weeks. There are SO many people in the same boat as myself. I understand if you need to help another business instead of myself. But if you can, I would be incredibly grateful.
HIRE ME!
My name is Lauren and I want to take your picture. I am a Texas Longhorn at heart and a transplant to the South Lake Tahoe area, which I have called home since 2006. My Tahoe wedding photography packages come bundled or are fully customizable so that you can build your own.
