About this vendor
Hi, I’m Lauren! I am a photographer who loves to capture moments in fun and exciting places. My passion is for travel, I enjoy exploring new locations and finding unique things to photograph. When I’m not working, I can often be found indulging in my love of romantic movies & trashy reality tv dating shows curled up on the couch with a bowl of ranch Doritos and my two puppies. #BachelorNation
I am a devoted dog lover, and I spend a lot of time with Daisy May & Charlie, taking them for walks, playing fetch, and snuggling with them on the sofa. My husband and I love to canoe, and we enjoy going on family road trips,
watching the Office & Parks & Rec as well as grilling out in our backyard.
When it comes to food, I have a particular weakness for the McRib sandwich, and I’ll go out of my way to get my hands on one when it’s in season. I also a big fan of the Lord of the Rings trilogy and love re-reading the books or re-watching the movies. I listen to the soundtrack to work to, try it its very relaxing!!!!
I have been a photographer since 2011 when my husband bought my first camera as a Valentines Day gift. It was a bright green camera, and everyone called me the green camera girl. It warmed my heart. My first job in photography was working at an old time photography studio in Branson MO. And while that was quite an adventure, I have known since I was 11 years when the movie The Wedding Planner came out that I was going to work in the wedding industry!
I began shooting weddings with my sister at my side for every amazing moment. We experienced weddings before the explosion of Pinterest. And boy how times have changed!
My style has evolved over the years quite a bit. And I hope to continue to grow and create.
I want to work with people who are passionate, excited about life and want to adventure through their shoot along with me.
Please reach out to me with any questions. I would love to get to work with you!!
-xoxo Lauren

One of my favorite things about booking with Laurel Tree Photography is the sense of friendship I felt between them - I messaged Lauren MORE than a few times just to get some opinions on stuff since she knew my vision and she was always SUCH a pleasure to work with.
