HI! I’M LAURIE AND I PHOTOGRAPH PORTRAITS AND EVENTS FOR PEOPLE WHO LOVE AND CELEBRATE REAL LIFE.

Laurie is a not-shorter nickname for my legal name, Lauren, but it’s what I go by.  The “B” is for my middle name, Briana.

I fell for photography in my high school dark room. When I discovered this passion could translate into a real job, I started LBP in 2007, and it slowly grew into the best career I could ask for.

I LOVE this work, my clients, and preserving your moments for a lifetime. I try to focus on what really matters. Real life is perfect enough. “All in a lifetime,” as my Papa says.

A few things about me, in no particular order:

  • I have a sweet boy named Jackson, born July 2021 and a red lab named Mabel. Those two monkeys plus my husband Tim have my heart.

  • Ice cream and cookies are my favorite. And my mom’s “buster bar.” And chai.

  • I work out every day lest I be quite crabby.

  • I consider myself incredibly lucky to do this job. Sure, it’s hard work but this is what I’m meant to do.

  • I’ve heard that childhood tendencies can predict future callings. As a kid, I spent time watching from the perimeter before joining in, saving things like stickers instead of using them so they’d last longer, and (re-)arranging things. How fitting for a photographer - preserve and save memories and moments to make them last - right?

  • I’m terrible at telling stories. I think it’s a family trait. ;) But showing stories, through images, that is where I shine!

Lauren B. Photography Testimonials Page

We have looked at the wedding book about twenty times and are we are absolutely elated with the final product! From beginning to end you have really blown away our expectations and have been the epitome of a consummate professional. I just had to send one more thank you but I'm sure this won't be our last time working together.

- Brittany & Kevin

Thank you so much for everything last weekend. You and your team were truly fantastic to work with. Dave and I had a great feeling after meeting you initially in June, but since we hadn't done engagement pictures were nervous how we'd feel in front of the camera. You made us feel so comfortable and all our friends and family agreed it was a wonderful experience.

- Jessica

I just went through the pics again on my own and wanted to tell you how amazing your pictures turned out.  As everyone says, the day flies by so fast, and before you know it, it's over. While going through the pictures, I can completely re-imagine the whole day as if it just happened.  You captured all the emotional, weird, and heartfelt moments. Love it.

- Courtney

Amazing! I haven't come across a photographer who is as responsive and professional as Laurie. Her communication ahead of time made everything easy and her style throughout the day was very fun, yet helpful. The photos were turned around faster than we expected and most importantly looked great. I would tell every one of my friends that Laurie provides A++ service with competitive prices.

- Ben

We really enjoyed working with you, and we are so excited to view the photos!! We thought that you moved with intention. You were such a great coach. You made it easy for us to just be natural.
