Hey, I’m Loren — your Cincinnati, Ohio photographer with a heart for storytelling.

My photography journey began the moment I became a mom. I borrowed a “fancy” camera from a friend to capture a few sweet shots of my cheeky 3-month-old… and I was instantly hooked. Not long after, my husband gifted me my very own camera for our five-year anniversary, and I took it everywhere with me. (Back when lugging around a giant camera was easy with just one kid! 😄)

I started photographing friends, fell completely in love with the art, and slowly grew this little dream into the business I adore today.

The longer I do this, the more I realize how perfectly I fit here. I’m a people person to my core, and getting to spend an hour with you—laughing, connecting, and witnessing your love—feels like the greatest privilege. Capturing something so meaningful and personal is a gift I never take lightly. I love creating art for you just as much as I love the behind-the-scenes pieces: the planning, the organizing, the endless checklists… my Type A side is thriving.

When I’m not behind the camera or knee-deep in editing, I’m living my dream life as a stay-at-home, homeschooling mama to our three beautiful kids. They’re my world, and our days are filled with adventuring, homeschooling, dancing, and occasionally driving each other crazy—but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

I’m so honored you’re here, and I can’t wait to tell your story.

My Love Story


I wouldn't have this dream life of mine if it wasn't for my favorite person in the world, my hubs. I'm a sucker for love stories and ours is of course, my favorite. We met when I was in college. I fell in love at first sight, he however was not so smitten. We got along great though and were the best of friends [all the while I was just unashamedly and hopelessly in loooooove] And then one day, much to my surprise, he wrote me a song, a LOVE SONG. Then he asked me to be his girlfriend. I told him I had to think about it HA Who was I kidding. The next day at Venice Beach, fearful he had changed his mind about asking, I eagerly said YES when he brought up "about what I said yesterday..." And we held hands and it was PERFECT. He was my match, the one created for me and now we were together and I knew we were forever. [Did I forget to tell you I'm a giant cheeseball when it comes to love] Well, we dove right into a year of long distance. But when you know, you know. And we got married not too long after. And now we've been together for almost FIFTEEN years. That feels surreal and mind boggling at times. We've faced trials in our marriage, we've been close to divorce, we've broken promises made, but most importantly, we made it through and are committed to always choosing each other. He is my best friend and I adore him.

“Loren did a great job to make us feel comfortable without rushing, like other mini sessions I’ve done in the past. We got some truly great photos, and not one family argument! That’s huge.”
