Hey there, I'm Lauren!
I moved from Texas to Little Rock, Arkansas with my family in the summer of 2024. I first fell in love with photography a decade ago, and over the years it has grown from a hobby into one of my greatest passions. Within the last year, I have also begun to grow in videography, which has quickly become a new favorite creative outlet for me.
From weddings, to milestone celebrations, to everyday moments, it would be a gift to capture the joy of your story.
Outside of photography, I love spending time with my family, being outside, playing music, and drinking coffee with friends. My greatest love is Jesus, and He is the reason behind everything I do. I am here today only because of Him.
Beholding Joy
the story behind the name
be·hold
/bəˈhōld/
to see or observe (a thing or person, especially a remarkable or impressive one).
joy
/joi/
gladness, cheerfulness, calm delight. choosing to respond to external circumstances with inner contentment and satisfaction
The idea for this name came from the Bible, where joy is described as a feeling of happiness that is not reliant on fleeting feelings or external circumstances. True joy comes from our Creator.
Psalm 16:11 says, “You make known to me the path of life; in your presence, there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” This scripture beautifully expresses the idea that true joy is found in God's presence. The joy that comes from being with people is from the Lord and my hope is to be able to behold and capture this joy so that it can be treasured and shared. Whether you are a couple promising commitment to each other, parents soaking up precious moments with your children, or a senior celebrating a huge milestone, I want to be a part of your special story.
