Hey, I’m Lauren. And I can never sit still. Not because I’m easily distracted, but because this world is far too big to even think we’ve seen it all. I love to live life fast, and take the quiet moments slow.

When I’m not in Ottawa, Canada photographing weddings, I travel constantly and live abroad in the winters (these years, it’s Colombia, South America). While this isn’t exactly a conventional way to live, it’s a lifestyle I’ve worked really hard to create for myself. I value experiences over “stuff”.

But perhaps most importantly – I love my people fiercely.

Which brings me to – my loves.

A Dutchman and a Taiwanese cat fill my heart to the brim. We’ve now lived on 3 different continents together (yes, even the cat!) and can’t imagine stopping anytime soon.

Our weekend tradition is to eat maple syrup with a side of pancake. We like to pretend to salsa dance whenever the feeling strikes us. And we’re mildly obsessed with trying to grow a jungle inside our home.

We see life for what it is —wild, a little messy, and unpredictably exciting. Those are the honest moments we live for.

They are the moments I live to capture, in both my life and yours. The spontaneous adventures that set us on a new course. The lazy mornings together. Frizzy hair after it rains. Smile wrinkles. It’s real. It’s honest. And it’s all part of our story.
