Hey there, I’m Lauren—most people call me Lo.

“The Visual Author of Your Story.”

Growing up on the East Coast, I spent most of my time outside-whether exploring the beach, wandering through forests, or simply soaking in the beauty of nature. It’s where I felt most at home, and it sparked a lifelong love for the outdoors and meaningful moments.

Photography found me over a decade ago, and since then, it’s been more than just a job-it’s a way to connect with people and preserve the stories that matter most. For me, it’s about more than taking pictures; it’s about creating a space where you feel seen, understood, and celebrated.

Living in Salt Lake City means I’m constantly bouncing between shooting, hiking, concert-hopping, and hunting down the next best bite to eat. Off-camera, you’ll usually find me at the gym (never skipping the dry sauna), cooking cozy meals for my friends, perfecting my homemade matcha, road-tripping, camping, or chasing sunrise with a warm drink in hand. I’m drawn to places that feel grounded and meaningful…and that’s the energy I bring into every piece of my work.

My approach is collaborative, mindful, and guided by the belief that your story deserves to be captured in a way that feels authentic and true to you. Whether we’re scaling a mountaintop for sunrise vows, starting a small business, holding a wellness retreat, or celebrating the quiet intimacy of your love at home, I’m here to document it all with care and intention and be the ‘visual author of your story’.

At the heart of everything I do is a deep respect for the journey you’re on. I want your photos to reflect your life in its most genuine, unfiltered form-a legacy of connection, joy, and the unique way you show up in the world.

"She has a strong creative vision, and she makes the experience playful, fun, and easy."

Lauren is the BEST couples photographer. She has a strong creative vision, and she makes the experience playful, fun, and easy. My fiancé and I had a blast during our engagement shoot. She did so well at posing us and telling us how to stand, where to put our hands and feet, when to smile or not smile, etc. which is what we needed and wanted, because neither of us know what to do in front of a camera! She had us do fun things like play around in the snow and sit down to drink hot chocolate together to prioritize capturing candid moments between us. "You're on a date and I'm just here capturing it" was her motto. It was such a great experience and the pictures turned out absolutely amazing. I highly recommend Lo for capturing your love on camera.
