How it all began
I’m a Waco native, Baylor alum, nurse, and photographer, and I have a deep love for this growing city I get to call home.
I started taking photos in 2017, during an unexpected season of medical challenges. What began during a difficult chapter of my life became something I never expected—a new purpose. I taught myself photography and, over the years, have had the honor of documenting so many meaningful pieces of people’s lives, from intimate live births to the energy and excitement of Baylor athletics, often from the sidelines at McLane Stadium.
When I’m not caring for patients or behind my camera, you’ll probably find me exploring Waco with my family and finding new reasons to love this city.
My promise to you
I think that’s part of what I love most about photography: the chance to hold onto a moment that might otherwise pass too quickly. Whether it’s the arrival of a new baby, the excitement of a game day, or simply the people and places that make Waco feel like home, there is something so special about being able to remember a season of life exactly as it was.
Balancing nursing and photography allows me to care for people in two very different, but equally meaningful, ways. I want you to feel cared for, comfortable, and completely yourself in front of my camera. My goal isn’t just to create beautiful images, but to tell your story and preserve the moments that matter to you.
Testimonials
I’ve lost count of how many times Lauryn has absolutely knocked our photos out of the park! We have had countless sessions from small family photos, themed sessions, large family and even livestock photos! She is so patient and kind that it makes the whole experience comfortable and fun! She has done amazing with our wild son from birth to now (5yo.) Not only is she great, but she is affordable for EVERY family. I mean ACTUALLY affordable. I would recommend Lauryn to any and everyone I know!
