LCP is a portrait and lifestyle brand built on intentional storytelling and preserving people, emotion, and truth. It’s rooted in a lifelong obsession with capturing life as it’s actually happening. The big moments, the in-between ones, and everything you don’t want to forget. My goal is to create images that feel elevated but still completely you.
Meet Lauren
I am a lover of love stories
Intentional storytelling for the moments that feel honest, elevated, and completely you.
I’m originally from Champaign, Illinois, and recently graduated from the University of Louisville. Over the past few years, I’ve poured myself into my photography business, but my journey began when I picked up a camera in middle school. What started as random backyard photoshoots with my sister turned into something I genuinely love. Photography has always been my creative outlet, but also a way to give people something meaningful to hold onto.
I’m currently living out my childhood dream of moving to the coast! I’ve always said I was a beach girl born in the wrong state. As this new chapter begins, my work is naturally evolving too, leaning into a warmer, more coastal feel while still staying rooted in that nostalgic, emotion-driven style at the core.
When you book with me, expect a high-energy but low-pressure experience. I’ll hype you up, guide you when needed, but also let things happen naturally, because the best photos are the ones where you’re just being yourself. If you’re trying to decide if I’m the right fit, I’m always happy to chat before you commit.

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.
