Hi I'm lauren, your Chicago Photographer
Hello! I have been a working photographer in Chicago for nearly 20 years, including robust experience with portraits, proposals, headshots, family photos, events, weddings, advertising, food/beverage, and live music. It is my goal to exceed expectations with every client I work with.
I was born on a farm in Kansas, studied photography and graphic design in high school and community college, moved to Chicago in 2005 and graduated from UIC's School of Art & Design in 2010 with a BFA in Photography.
I enjoy traveling, music, cooking, board games, and rollercoasters.

My Chicago Photography Reviews
Lauren was A+ all around! She was local to the area I took my engagement photos in, so was willing to stop by a few days before the actual shoot to help plan potential proposal spots, and then when I switched up the plan day-of she was flexible and took some incredible photos! My fiancée and I absolutely love the shots she took. Great to work with and would absolutely recommend! -Max
Lauren was amazing! She captured the day so well and produced beautiful pictures. She did a great job directing us as to what would look good, and the pictures turned out fantastic! I highly recommend her and Local Lens. -Brittany
Lauren was fantastic. She showed up early and made sure we got every picture I wanted. The pictures turned out beautifully and I’m very pleased. I will book with Lauren in the future. -Laurin
I hired Lauren to take my proposal pictures! They came out great! Her insight into the best location to take the photos was very useful! -Keito
