Lauren is amazing to work with! We started with an engagement session, and it was the best experience that I had to ask her to do my wedding! She saw my vision board and brought it to life, and more! I will forever have her do my photos for all occasions!

I have never enjoyed being in front of a camera, but I love the special meaning that photos hold. Lauren’s passion and enthusiasm for her work make the process seamless, comfortable, and exciting. She gives you verbal prompts that help you position yourself so you don’t feel stressed about poses. During couples shoots, Lauren makes the sessions so fun that you sometimes forget she’s there. I wouldn’t want any other photographer other than Lauren Cassady!

Lauren was an absolute joy to work with for our mini shoot. She made the entire experience seamless and fun, even delivering our gallery sooner than we expected! The photos are stunning, and we immediately had them framed in our home. Lauren is my first recommendation to anyone looking for a photographer.

I had the best experience during my session with Lauren! I felt comfortable the entire time and I didn’t feel pressured to come up with my own poses. I was obsessed with the finished results and would recommend her to anyone!!

The Bird's Nest
I have had the absolute pleasure of working with Lauren Cassady behind the camera for the last three years as she did the photoshoots for The Bird’s Nest Student Agency and for my textbook author photoshoot, and I cannot say enough about her professionalism and presence. From the moment a shoot begins, Lauren brings a level of preparation, calm confidence, and creative vision that immediately puts everyone at ease. She does not just take photos - she creates an experience.

Behind it all is a thoughtful, organized experience that allows her clients to feel confident, comfortable, and fully themselves in front of the camera.
