They’re Only Here for a Short Time—Make Every Moment Last
Our pets bring so much joy to our lives, yet their time with us is fleeting. Often, we realize too late that we don’t have the photos we wish we had — those images that capture their quirks, their spirit, and the connection we share with them.
Think about it: How many truly beautiful photos do you have of your pet? And even more, how many do you have that capture you and your pet together, exactly as you are now?
This is where I come in. I specialize in creating lasting memories of you and your pet, preserving the bond that makes your relationship unique. With each session, we’ll capture the joy, love, and companionship that make these years so special, creating images you’ll treasure long after they’re gone.

The Scruff Life Experience
Capturing the bond between you and your pet is at the heart of everything I do. I’m here to give you an enjoyable, stress-free experience that results in beautiful, meaningful images you’ll treasure for a lifetime.
What's holding you back?
"My pet won’t sit still or stay."
No problem! Most of my sessions feature pets on a leash—almost all of my locations are local parks with leash laws, and I respect those rules for everyone’s safety. I’ll handle the editing to make the leash disappear from the final images, so all you’ll see is your pet at their best.
"My dog has big feelings about strangers."
I completely understand. My own dog is reactive, so I know how challenging this can be. My experience with him has transformed my approach to working with animals, especially those with fears or anxieties. We’ll chat ahead of time to discuss the best approach for your pet, and I even have a telephoto lens that lets me work from a comfortable distance when needed. Your pet’s comfort is my top priority—please reach out if you’d like to talk more about accommodations for reactive pets!

"Lauren is the best! We've been following her on Instagram for a while and have admired her talent for capturing photos of dogs, especially dogs in action and outside! We pulled the trigger to book her for pictures of our new puppy and she was fast to respond, communicated clearly and often, and scheduled us extremely quickly."

Hi, I'm Lauren and I’m here to do what I love most—capture the heart and personality of your pet, along with the bond you share.
If you’ve ever tried to snap a photo of your dog in full zoomie mode or catch a clear shot of your black cat, you know it’s not easy! Our pets have big personalities, but they don’t always slow down for the camera. And even when the lighting is perfect and they’re holding still, you’re often the one behind the camera—missing out on being part of those precious memories.
That’s where I come in. My passion is creating photos of you and your pet simply living in the moment and enjoying each other’s company. I’ll make sure you’re part of these memories, capturing the joy, connection, and love you share.
