Hey, Lauren here!

Growing up, I’ve always enjoyed being creative, and loved using cameras of any kind to take pictures of just about anything! (There were many “cool clouds” that didn’t quite turn out. 😅) I took Photography courses in high school learning how to use a 35mm camera, and developing my own film, and printing my prints in the dark room. I never pursued photography, (which hindsight, totally should have!) but many years later, I was picking my camera back up!

I’ve worked with Kate for my own branding photos, and met Kim through our business coaching programs, and we’ve been friends ever since. Fun fact: I was one of the first to learn of their collaborations, and becoming Co-Owners of the KLEMpire! So when the time came that they were on the hunt for someone to be their Studio Manager, it just seemed like the right fit, and I volunteered as tribute. 🙋🏻‍♀️

More personally… I actually went to college for Culinary, dropped out, then went back to school for Marketing, (all because of Tim Allen - honest truth) and started my journey of entrepreneurship shortly after. My favorite hobby is collecting hobbies, and watching my favorite TV shows, and cuddling with my cats. (I have 3… not on purpose.) Even though I’m not a chef, I do love experiencing food, and have learned if cooked for me, I’d eat just about anything. I could also eat pizza 6 out of 7 nights if able, and I ALWAYS need a dessert.

I recently discovered the love of hunting, and go every year with my husband’s family. I want to travel the world to go on various hunts, as well as see new places! I also change my hair color…a lot.

I currently love being a photographer for food, weddings, boudoir, and events/spaces. I can’t wait to see what my journey with KLEM will look like, and I can’t wait to work with all of their amazing clients!

Love,

Lauren

P.S. Another fun fact - I’m the person that plans “get-togethers” & life events around food.
P.S.S. I always willingly accept Starbucks drinks!
