“I knew from following Lauren on social media that she has a gift. I am so thankful for her artistic, natural ability to capture moments so beautifully - and candidly - and I am equally grateful for not only her talent, but her kindness, patience, and sweetness. Looking forward to working with her again in the future.”

Hi there, I’m Lauren

I'm a Michigan-based photographer who loves to wander and create.

Back in high school, a name popped into my head - The Northern Story. I remember drawing logos and branding for the name in old notebooks just for fun. I had no idea why or what I would do with it, but I kept it for the future. After a few years, my passion for photography grew and I knew exactly what I would use that name for. In 2018, I launched my photography business.

I photograph weddings, families, and the importance stuff of life. My style is natural and fun but emotive as well. I lean a little bit into documentary style photography because it tells a story. Ultimately I am here to capture the story of you.

It's truly a joy for me to photograph the moments and people that make life beautiful. What’s more is that I get to do a lot of my photography with my husband as well, so if you book The Northern Story, you just might meet Nate too.

I have a strong inclination towards Jesus. I love to laugh, to be in the woods, to enjoy a good cup of coffee, and to get out on that dance floor.

It would be my greatest joy to connect with you and capture your big day or happy memories.
