About

I got my start in the world of high-priced photography and video early in life. I was 16 when I started making videos and editing them myself. After graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Digital Film Production, I was hired at 21 to work as a line producer on international commercials and infomercials for a Chicago based company. I then moved out to Los Angeles at 22 to work at Warner Brothers Studios. When the opportunity presented itself to begin my own business, I dropped everything I was doing and finally became a professional photographer and videographer full time in Austin Texas. I started by packing camera bags and cleaning lenses. By the time I finished, my talent had become more than apparent to fellow photographers and models alike.

My philosophy is simple: Capturing moments in life that are irreversible. I know that my reputation is only as good as my last shoot. I excel at the fine art of handling even the most difficult of models. Hire me, and you'll never see the world the same again.

Amazing photographer!

Lauren was an amazing photographer who captured our special day perfectly. Our photos turned out exquisite, she and her team made it fun for everyone involved, and she beautifully captured the atmosphere and effort we put into the venue. We especially enjoyed the engagement photo shoot we did with her because it let us get to know each other before the wedding day, so she knew what we liked before the wedding day even started. We couldn't recommend her enough, but her works speaks for itself https://www.laurenmaria.com/wedding.

Lauren and her team are amazing! The perfect bilingual videographer!

Searching for a videographer that would capture our multicultural wedding was quite a daunting task to say the least! Thankfully, we found Lauren, who made our vision a reality -- one we can now relive fully every time we watch the video she and her team produced!

From our first call, we immediately learned how passionate she is about what she does. But what really stood out from our meetings was that Lauren was patient, inquisitive, and genuinely invested in working with us to explore new and creative (and bilingual!) films that were not previously in her portfolio. Her openness to work with us and be flexible was over the top!

The end results -- an English + Spanish save the date film, a fun and not so traditional short wedding day film, and a stunning full wedding day film. Every deliverable from Lauren and her team were remarkable and something we've infinitely replayed to bring us back to our special day!

Proposal Photos

Lauren recently shot our surprise proposal and was fantastic!
She did a great job posing us naturally and making the whole experience really fun. I am so impressed with the quality of her shots and how quickly we had the photos - within hours we had edited photos and we loved all of them. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone in the Austin area.

Lauren is EXTREMELY talented at what she does, and she takes lots of pride in her finished product! Her photography and videography skills are out of this world! Never have I seen anyone truly capture the behind-the-scenes looks as she does. She is also very easy to work with, responsive and prompt when returning emails, and very professional! Love working with her!
