Hey y'all! I wanted to give everyone a peek into the life of the one behind the camera... I usually answer to Sis, babe, mama or Flo and I am married to my best friend, Blake. He is hands down, the most hard working, honest and loyal person I've ever met. We have three children- our handsome son Ashton, 16, our sassy baby girl, Peyton (aka PJ) 5 and our youngest cowkid Colton, 2.
So, I grew up in the booming city of Houston, TX but was always drawn to the country way of life. The good Lord had a plan for me all along because he made sure I met the love of my life...a country boy from Weimar, TX. We live on a little slice of heaven in the country, work cattle and enjoy our four horses every chance we get. It's a simple life that I wouldn't trade for the world.
After being a wife and mom-tographer, I would have to say music takes my next hobby slot. I grew up verrrry musically cultured (thanks to my daddy) and legit listen to everything from Texas Country to Rap, Tejano, Country, Oldies & Classic Rock. We enjoy taking the kiddos to the roping pen with daddy and checking cows on horseback. Those are the memories with my babes I will cherish forever. You can catch me sitting on our back porch on a breezy summer night or back-roading on our Ranger with a fresh ranch water in hand and my Pandora on shuffle.
I'm a huge bargain shopper and only brag about how cheap I found an item. Seriously, don't be surprised if you see me perusing thru Goodwill on a mission to find that perfect pair of vintage Wrangler or Levi jeans to distress into cut-offs. My mama taught me early on the value of a dollar and I can assure you, I make it go as far as it will!
I'm obsessed with turquoise, western fashion and country music. I don't like ketchup, being way out in the ocean, nor bare feet. I put ranch on almost everything and have thousands of song lyrics memorized. Oh, and every song is 'my favorite song' LOL.
I absolutely love children and treat all my friend's kids as my own. Additionally, I'm a hugger; so don't be freaked out if I hug you instead of shaking your hand when we meet.
I would love to be given the opportunity to create something special for you with Lasting Details. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed the visit!

"Lauren is incredible! She was so easy to work with and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera—it felt as if we had known her for years! Our newborn lifestyle session took place during the golden hour and we love every single shot she took. All of our photos looked so natural and captured the real “us.” Lauren worked quickly with a great turn around time and is very responsive to messages. I’d highly recommend her to anyone and can’t wait for her to capture more family photos in the future!"

"If anyone would like a review/perspective from the male side of things … Lauren did an amazing job! Entire time was all about comfort and what felt right. And of course being in Texas it was hotter than you know and myself sweating the whole time, was able to cool off and compose myself between shots. Lauren even brought personal fans for myself and my fiancé. She captured beautiful photos and provided detailed edits in a very timely manner. Could not ask for more to be honest!"

"Thank you so much. You were perfect for our motley group and so sweet and kind. It takes a special kind of person to be so present but still so respectfully distant and allowing for those beautiful organic moments. Looking forward to more photos."

"Lauren is AWESOME! Pictures were great and sent to me so fast. When my sister and I met with her, she was super friendly and relatable. Even in the scorching heat, humidity, and eventual thunderstorm, she was a total trooper and didn't let it ruin our session. Highly recommend."

"Lauren was absolutely incredible. With the pictures, she made sure I looked incredible. She fixed my hair, helped with my lipgloss and made me look and feel gorgeous and confident. The quality of her pictures is outstanding. She was able to make my 18 month old smile and laugh and keep his attention for about 1.5 hours while we took the pictures. She is a true professional!"

"After attending a wedding that Lauren planned, we hired her for our small outdoor wedding and reception. What impressed me the most was how she perfectly captured the sentiment of our special day. We received all the traditional photos but even better were the candids that told our story. The lighting in the color and black and white photographs were exceptional. Thank you Lauren for your enthusiasm and creativity and making so many memories on our wedding day!"

"Lauren did a fantastic job on my son and daughter’s photo session ! I would definitely recommend her to anyone . She takes her time and makes sure you are happy with the results ! I had so many compliments and people asking who did my photos when I showed people my children . She has done multiple sessions of my daughter and I have never been disappointed! Very reasonable and accommodating!"
