Hi!
I’m Lauren - a lifestyle and adventure photographer based in Oceanside, California. I grew up in Southern Louisiana, on rich landscapes infused with Cajun culture and surrounded by warm-hearted people. My family taught me the best things in life were good food, music, dancing, and laughter. I’ve been told I bring that joyfulness and good humor (along with my cajun accent) wherever I go.
I like to think of myself as a visual storyteller. I got my first camera when I was four and have been living through the viewfinder ever since. While getting my photography degree, I spent hours studying the play of light and movement on water. Later the fascination led me through Central America, and eventually settling on the gold coast of Costa Rica - where sun, moon and starlight are always showing off on a big ocean canvas. Today my favorite stories to tell are still set on the water. You can always find me catching waves, free-diving, and sailing, usually with a camera in my hand.
