Not to mention she completely understood the look we were going for and knew the perfect place for the shoot. The photos came out better than I ever imagined they would. I honestly was blown away and will forever be grateful to Lauren. The photos and editing she did were spot on to what we had in our head. I cant wait until the next time I need photos taken!"

She is so good at what she does, and I can't thank her enough! Will most definitely be going back to her for graduation pictures or such! 5 stars for sure! She's amazing at photography and her editing is brilliant! Thank you so much Lauren!
