Capturing love and life, one precious moment at a time.
“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”
— Aaron Siskind

"I had the privilege of working with Lauren on several occasions. We booked her for a family photo shoot which was our first and she was fantastic. She allowed the boys to share their ideas for certain photos and made the whole experience very enjoyable. She helps you feel so comfortable. In my very first photo shoot with her, she took photos of me dancing. This was actually her idea and it reminded me of the joy I once felt when I would dance. The experience was beautiful but when I first saw those images so many wonderful memories came pouring in. It's not just a photoshoot with her, it's an experience. You get to keep those memories for a lifetime. If you haven't booked with By the Maker, you should. You won't regret it."

"Working with Lauren was such a dream. My husband and I are not comfortable or natural in front of the camera but she somehow knows how to make you feel relaxed. We asked Lauren to bring a second set of hands because we know that it can be challenging getting 3 children’s attention and keeping them wrangled, and between her and her assistant everything moved flawlessly! We sincerely appreciated Lauren taking the time to find the location for our family photos! She captured us and our children beautifully and we will cherish the photos all our lives. We look forward to our next session with her once baby number 4 makes their arrival!"

"Lauren is amazing! We booked a couples shoot with her in our home. She made us feel comfortable during the shoot and encouraged us to just be us! No awkward poses, just us in our home, enjoying one another. Our pictures came out beautifully and were sent to us in a timely manner. Our kids came down during the shoot and she welcomed them and roll with it with kindness and grace. I would absolutely book again with Lauren!"
