BY THE MAKER | WITH LOVE is a part of BY THE MAKER that is focused on capturing love and life, one precious moment at a time. Whether it’s the joy of a family or the tender connection between two people in love, we’re here to capture more than just images—we’re preserving the heartbeat of your life through the lens. From moments to milestones, we believe every memory deserves to be held close.

My name is Lauren,

and I have been graciously called to cultivate and steward BY THE MAKER | WITH LOVE.

As a creative through and through, I find deep inspiration in the beauty of God’s creation as I capture life’s most precious moments. Through my lens, I seek to tell stories that reflect the grace, love, and truth of God's design. 

As a wife to my husband, Billy, of over ten years, I understand the beauty of building something lasting, which is why photography is such a meaningful part of my work. Along with my husband and family, we’ve created a homestead we cherish, where we enjoy quiet days at home, but we also love to travel and embark on adventures. These experiences not only fuel my creativity but also deepen my understanding of the beauty in both the grand and the quiet moments of life.

Every session, whether it’s a wedding, family gathering, or personal milestone, is an opportunity to reflect His design in everything I do. Through the lens, I seek to capture not just an image, but the heart of the story—a moment that will last a lifetime.

“We love because He first loved us.” - 1 John 4:19
