About | Lauren Michelle Phot

As a twin mom and business owner I understand the beauty of life's fleeting moments and the importance of preserving them. As your photographer, I combine my eye for detail, years of experience and natural ability to connect with people to create images that feel both authentic and impactful. From weddings to family sessions to branding, my goal is to craft visuals that not only capture moments but evoke lasting memories. Let's work together to create images that truly reflects your story

NATURAL APPROACH

I believe in the power of natural light to create timeless and beautiful images that evoke warmth and authenticity. My approach focuses on using the sun's gentle glow to capture moments in their most natural state, highlighting the true emotions and subtle details. Wether its a quiet sunrise, the golden hour glow or soft defused light throughout the day, I use nature's elements to enhance every frame. This approach not only brings a sense of elegance to my work but allows for a relaxed, organic feel that stands the test of time. My goal is to create images that feel effortless, yet rich in emotion, creating lasting memories that you'll cherish for years to come.

YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

Ive had the privilege of honoring my craft and developing a keen eye for capturing authentic moments. My journey began as a hobby, but quickly transformed into a full-time passion, allowing me to work with diverse clients and create images that tell meaningful stories. Through countless sessions, Ive refined my skills in lighting, composition and working with different settings, ensuring that every shot is both beautiful and impactful. My experience has given me a unique understanding of how to bring out the best in people. making each session a truly rewarding experience.

During my education at NCC as I studied Graphic Design, I was working multiple jobs, coincidentally all being in the photography field (coincidence?? mayyybbeee = here's your sign Lauren!) From good ol' Sears Portrait Studio, to a customer service representative to another photography studio, to becoming a newborn photographer inside of the hospital, to eventually purchasing my first beginner camera. It started as a hobby, getting together with new friends Ive made in these past jobs, all having interest in photography as well, we began practicing and learning together constantly photographing whatever, whoever and whenever

Fast forward to marriage, children, divorce and moving back in with my parents, it seemed so impossible. Working as a graphic designer, raising twins, the possibility of surviving and supporting myself and children seemed so far out of reach. I knew that whatever I wanted in life, the only person I could depend on making that happen, was myself. I have to put in the time, I have to put in the energy, I have to take the chance, I have to be comfortable, being uncomfortable, I have to set goals and I have to be the one to crush them.

...and that is exactly what I did, crushed my goals of providing for myself and children by becoming a full time photographer.

In the end everything always works out.

Lauren Michelle Photography, LLC est. 2021

Never have I thought my life's path would lead me to being a photographer or just a business owner in general. Since a young age, creativity and art has always been a passion of mine. Drawing, painting..I was your avid doodler in school. Trying to pick a career straight out of high school was very challenging for me. All of my friends chose the nursing, psychologist, teaching route and there I was, doodling for ideas that had a creative outlet but that would also lead me into an income that I could survive off of, all while hoping I would actually enjoy the job I would be doing for the rest of my life. I feel for ya'll in that current situation because it is TOUGH.
