images you'll
hey there.
I’m jess,
the girl behind Jess Lauren [pronounced 'la-WREN'] Photography
I believe love was created by a God who delights in beauty, emotion, and connection — and I feel so honored to capture those sacred glimpses of it here on Earth.
My goal? To photograph the quiet, effortless moments that make your love yours — the glances, the laughter, the weightless in-between seconds that say more than words ever could. I want you to feel comfortable, seen, and fully yourselves, so that what we create together doesn’t just look beautiful — it feels true.
Photography is more than a job for me — it’s a calling. And if we work together, I’ll be cheering for your love, your story, and your dreams long after the camera’s put away
photographer, cookie monster,
creative extraordinaire &
your new best friend
it's all about
you and your person
My heart behind the camera is simple: I want you to feel seen, celebrated, and totally yourselves. I’m here to capture the real stuff — the way you make each other laugh, the quiet comfort you share, the moments that don’t feel like “posing” at all because you’re just being together.
You don’t need to be models or have a clue what to do in front of the camera. If you can be playful, be present, and love each other deeply — I’ll take care of the rest. We'll create images that feel like memories: warm, effortless, and full of heart.
Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn’t love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us.
love like that
Ephesians 5:2

We could not be more thankful we chose Jess to capture such an important day! She memorized every inspiration photo I gave her and pre-mapped our route to save me from walking too much in my heels (life saver). She's creative, sweet as can be and extremely professional. Our photos turned out absolutely beautiful! We couldn't have asked for anything more. We will definitely be using her for all future photography! Thank you, Jess!

Jess . i just want to start by saying thank you , I will cherish these photos for the rest of my life . I have had a handful of photo shoots and this was the best one yet for a few reasons . I am not a model and do not know how and where to stand . I appreciated the fact that you told me what to do and how to stand and look . If you had not helped us with poses we would've had 30 photos of us in the same pose with the same smile . I also loved how comfortable you made us feel . Getting my husband to take photos is really hard and you made it so much easier to get him to cooperate . Lastly , your talent speaks for itself . I love your work ! I cannot wait for the next shoot .

Grant and I had an absolute blast! We have never done couples photos before but Jess made the experience so special. Jess picked a great location that was close to home, she gave great advice on outfits, and welcomed me with a hug when we met up. She is super friendly and made Grant and I giggle during the entire shoot. She gave us the perfect advice to take the most flattering pictures of ourselves. She offered to put on music while taking photos which helped make the experience feel more natural. Overall, I’m obsessed with these photos! She did such an incredible job in all aspects of the experience and I would hire her 100x again!
