Hi! I'm Emily Lauren. 

|Emily Lauren|

{Hard working -  From the place of the laurel leaves} 

I've always loved my name. My sweet mama named me Emily, after Emily Dickinson and my Dad picked Lauren after Lauren Bacall. I am a true Pisces. A fish, always swimming. I love very deeply and I am an extreme empath. While I love being an empath, it's extremely draining sometimes. And that is exactly why I always try to bring humor and happiness to everyone I meet. 

 A few things I LOVE:

Rock n' Roll MUSIC

Roses

The Ocean

Fog

Moss

Fairytales

Floral Perfumes

Red Lipstick

Red Sangria

Hats

Warm Socks

Makeup

Dancing

Polaroids

Music

Traveling / Hiking

Vinyl Records

Antique Shopping

 

 

A few things I can live without:

Horseradish

Eggnog

Evil People

Spiders

Beer

Mushrooms - That Allergy is AWFUL btw. 

 

My family is my number one always. I wear my heart on my sleeve & I crave storytelling. I am a dog mama and have been since I was 10 years old. I've lost three soul dogs, but I do thankfully still have my Meela girl. She is a 9 year old Great Pyrenees. 

I love to create beautiful art through my photographs, it's my goal every time I use my camera. I write better than I speak. 

My style is a mixture of bright/airy & dark/romantic. I mix them both because I love them both and it really is the best of both worlds.

 

ROMANTIC {characterized by, or suggestive of an idealized view of reality.}

PURE {without any extraneous and unnecessary elements.}

BRIGHT {bold and vivid colors.}

 

My purpose is to bring beauty into every life that I meet or work with. 

I am a Wedding & Elopement Photographer based out of Bristol, Virginia. I also specialize in Engagement, Elopement, Boudoir & Portrait Sessions. 

   

My mom is the reason I found my passion for love & life. She is an avid still-life photographer and such an inspiration to many. My mom has battled an auto-immune disease for over half of her life, it is called Scleroderma. When I was 5 years old, she was given 5 years to live. Through grace and prayer, she is still here today. To donate or to learn about the disease, please visit: www.scleroderma.org 

 

I'm a huge romantic at heart. I love to smile and laugh. I love to make others smile and laugh. 

My mom & dad are my heroes. Their love story is one of my most favorite ever, and their marriage has been the most beautiful part of life to witness. My younger brother is handsome, compassionate, and hilarious. He gave me one of the greatest gifts when he had his son. I became Aunt Emmy to the most perfect baby boy with blonde hair and blue eyes. 

And I would love to meet you, learn your story, and photograph the moments you will always hold close to your heart.

 Let's make some magic.

 love, em
