CREATING A MUSEUM OF GOD'S LOVE




 

Meet the photographer

 

Lauren Burns

 

 

I spent most of my childhood with a camera in my hand, filming videos, taking photos, and documenting the people and moments I never wanted to forget. Over time, I fell in love with preserving memories that felt fleeting.

In 2022, I lost both my dad and my best friend. In the midst of that loss, the photos and videos I had of them became some of my most treasured possessions. Those memories reaffirmed something I had always known deep down: photographs are more than images; They are a way of holding onto the people and moments that matter most.

In 2023, I was gifted my first "real" camera and decided to pursue photography with intention. I prayed continually for God to make my calling clear, and if photography was where He was leading me, to open the right doors. This year, I took a leap of faith and left my 9-to-5 job to pursue photography full-time.

Today, I have the privilege of documenting weddings and capturing the quiet, meaningful moments that often go unnoticed—the glances, the tears, the laughter, and the in-between moments that tell the real story. My hope is to create images that help people remember not just how a day looked, but how it felt.

COUPLES & ENGAGEMENTS

A relaxed, heartfelt session focused on the connection between you and your partner. Whether you’re celebrating an engagement or simply this season of love, we’ll create warm, natural images full of real moments, soft laughter, and genuine emotion.

MATERNITY & SMALL FAMILY

A warm, relaxed photography experience capturing two beautiful seasons—expecting your little one and the love of your growing family. Maternity sessions focus on soft, natural moments that highlight the beauty and emotion of pregnancy, while small family sessions are all about connection, movement, and the genuine everyday love you share. Both are gently guided, keeping things easy and comfortable so your photos feel real, heartfelt, and true to this season of your life.


newborn & fresh 48

A gentle, emotional photography experience capturing your baby’s earliest moments. Fresh 48 sessions document those first hours together in a natural, unobtrusive way, focused on real connection, tiny details, and the raw beauty of new life. Newborn sessions are calm and baby-led, taking place in a cozy setting, whether in-home, studio, or outdoor, where we can capture soft snuggles, delicate features, and the quiet in-between moments of early parenthood. Both are relaxed, unposed, and centered on preserving this fleeting stage just as it is.

WEDDINGS

I’m not here to recreate what’s trending or make your wedding fit a certain aesthetic. I want to preserve the essence of your day. The people, the emotion, the joy, and the fleeting moments you’ll want to remember years from now.

My approach blends genuine candid moments with thoughtfully guided portraits, giving you photographs that feel natural, timeless, and true to your story.

INDIVIDUAL

A solo portrait session focused entirely on you. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, updating your photos, or just want to capture this season of your life, the experience is relaxed and easygoing. You’ll be gently guided throughout the session so nothing feels forced or overly posed—just natural, genuine moments that reflect who you are right now.

Branding

A thoughtful, story-driven photography session designed to capture you and your business in an authentic, intentional way. These sessions go beyond simple portraits, focusing on your personality, process, and overall brand identity to create cohesive images that feel aligned with your vision. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, creative, or small business owner, branding photos help you show up confidently across your website, social media, and marketing with imagery that feels natural, professional, and unmistakably you.
