welcome, my name is lauren murken!

if i had to describe myself in a few words, i’d probably say passionate, goofy, and easily excitable. the littlest things make me smile the biggest, and that requires with a keen attention to detail so none of life’s best moments slip by. my most favorite part about being a professional photographer is being trusted to capture love, life, and momentous occasions for high school seniors, college graduates, brands, and local businesses.

i see this as much more than just clicking a button at the right time, it is storytelling in its most raw form, capturing the essence of your personal brand, or the unfiltered joy of a senior portrait session.

it is providing a way for memories to be revisited and cherished for years TO COME. photographing has allowed me to instill confidence in others, alleviate the stress that life’s changes can sometimes bring, and radiate positivity. it also has given me a chance to celebrate others and lift them up in their seasons of uncertainty and change, and that is the biggest blessing.

if you’re searching for a nashville photographer to capture your graduation excitement, or a lifestyle photographer to reflect the heart of your brand, and you want someone who will join you in celebration while capturing all of the smiles, happy tears, and everything in between, you’ve come to the right place.
