Welcome!

I'm Lauren McDonald, a photographer and creative professional with over a decade of experience capturing everything from weddings to branding content.

Over the years, I’ve found my passion not just in photography but in helping businesses grow. I know how challenging running a business can be, and I’m here to make it easier with branding support—offering photography, video, website updates, and admin help.

Let’s work together to bring your brand’s vision to life!

Thank you is an understatement. I will never be able to fully express my gratitude for what you did on our wedding day. You have given Bob and I so much more than just a wedding video. When Bob catches me on Instagram, it's no surprise to hear him say, "Can you go to Lauren's page to watch our sneak peek?" or "has Lauren had other weddings recently?" Our full length film has literally played as our "referee" in times of disagreement. Although it take a lot to stop an argument just to watch a video, it has yet to fail us.

I cannot say enough kind words about our experience with Lauren. Our COVID wedding day was chaotic with lots of running around but Lauren handled it with so much grace and patience; she basically became my bridesmaid 😂 Lauren made our engagement and wedding photos quick, painless, and beautiful. The turnaround is always so fast, and we have hundreds of beautiful photos and emotions to pick from. Lauren is the kindest soul and such a genuine human. I'm so glad she was part of our special day.

Lauren is so fun to work with! She makes taking lots of photos an enjoyable experience - my husband even said he would do it again! She is so easy to work with and knows every pose in the book so she keeps it moving!! The photos are GORGEOUS and timeless.
I recommend her to everyone. :)

We want you to know that the wedding pictures are absolutely beautiful and we love them. We knew we would love them before we saw them because you do amazing work! Noah and I can't describe how much we love you and would choose you over and over again if we needed pictures for anything.

I just have to say, Lauren, there aren't a ton of people out there like you. You are genuine and kind of loving  and authentic. Not a ton of people can portray those characteristics without trying. You bring an aura of grace with you wherever you go. You are someone I want to be like.
