let me say to you what the words cannot; let me show you what it means to love this life
you’ve got to be quiet inside to do
that kind of photography
it’s very easy to “photograph”
“inanimate objects”— like other people
but: turn the lens right in on
the very stuff you’re hiding in —
shoot the camera this way!
Hello, I’m Lauren
Oregon, Alaska, and beyond. | Moving picture, digital, and film. | Wedding, family, lifestyle.
I am an artist living and working in greater Portland, Oregon.
In all my work, I strive to show the magic and interconnectedness we all share in this precious life.
Everything fades but what we continue to have are the images, the memories. These are our small, everyday moments and the big celebrations. Every one becomes transcendent.
That soft brush of hair, the warmth as the sunlight catches his eye, the smell of morning dew on the grass. A hug from your father. These are the times that make up your life.
Let me bear witness to your life. I will be a witness for you.
