ABOUT

Hi! I’m Lauren and I’m a portrait photographer and mezzo soprano! I’ve been working with cameras since I was on the yearbook staff in high school, but took a break to spend my college years focusing on my singing career. 



During the pandemic I found my old gear and it reignited my interest in portrait photography. Since then, I have been steadily gathering more (and more) gear and building quite a business! 

​

I’ve set up a studio in Philadelphia, PA but my singing career takes me all over. I always have my camera on me, so if we happen to gig together, hit me up for a session!

​

Here’s my thing… I’ve heard horror stories about people’s experiences in photoshoots. No one wants to feel bad about themselves or uncomfortable while having their photos taken. Period. There’s no space in the studio for negativity or inappropriate behavior. I make it my goal to have a relaxed and fun studio environment while we work - we’ll play music and generally just have a good time! 

​

It’s also my goal to capture YOU. Your self. Your artistry. Not a corporate rendering of you. Just, you. And you have many layers. You contain multitudes. So our session will try and capture that. All the beautiful complexities that make you the special artist that you are!

STUDIO MANAGER

Whitacre is a not-so-helpful senior kitty who likes chin scratchies. He will be around if you want, but he’s also happy to stay out of the way. Please let us know if you have allergies!
