Your love deserves more than just pretty photos — it deserves a story, captured in the places where adventure and heart collide.
Whether you're saying your vows on a mountaintop, running barefoot through wheat fields, or sharing a quiet sunrise in Glacier National Park, I'm here to capture the real, rugged, beautiful moments that make your story unforgettable.
If you're dreaming of a wedding day that feels raw, real, and wildly you, let's create something together that you'll treasure forever.
If you’re looking for someone to hike up a mountain with, cruise a backroad, and capture all the laughs and real moments along the way — you’re in the right place. I’m an easygoing, adventure-loving photographer with a soft spot for wide open skies, winding roads, and documenting love stories wherever they unfold.
Some of my favorite places to shoot? Under Montana’s Big Sky, throughout the Pacific Northwest, and in the mountains across the world.

We could not have asked for a better photography team for our wedding! From the very beginning, Lauren and her husband felt like such natural additions to our day — warm, easygoing, and never intrusive. They captured every moment beautifully without ever making us feel posed or pressured, which allowed us to truly enjoy the day. She even pulled us aside during the best light and captured what turned out to be my absolute favorite photo of the day. They were also completely game for anything — including our crazy idea to jump in the river, which meant they had to cross the river themselves!
The photos turned out absolutely stunning — timeless, natural, and filled with so much genuine emotion. The way they highlighted the mountain setting made our wedding look like a classic Montana dream. Every image feels like a piece of art that we’ll cherish forever. We are beyond grateful for their incredible talent and professionalism. If you want photographers who will make you feel comfortable, blend seamlessly into your celebration, and deliver breathtaking photos, look no further."

She treated us out of towners just like her own family and ensured we had the best location for the best photos. From the beginning, she was extremely helpful in working with me to choose the correct location based on the photos we wanted. The day of she went above and beyond to make our shoot as seamless as possible. We need lots of direction when it comes to poses for photos and Lauren knew just what to do! The photos came out so beautiful and we can’t wait to display them in our new home!"

Lauren has an incredible eye for detail which is reflected in the moments she captures and in how she edits. Her portfolio drew us to Bitz of Life Photography because of her natural and true to color style, and she absolutely delivered above and beyond our expectations for both of our shoots. Lauren worked hard for us while making it look effortless and fun, really letting her passion shine in her work. Our shoots were filled with encouragement and laughter, and I couldn’t believe how fast the time flew by. We ended up with so many beautiful photos and couldn’t be happier with Bitz of Life Photography!"

Lauren and her assistant were fun, knowledgeable, easy to work with, and willingly adaptable to any changes that arose on our wedding day. In the end, the photos of our day were all that we had imagined…and more! I am still impressed and pleased with the creative shots and all the photos that I didn’t know they were taking, both of the many details and of us and the ceremony. We love everything about our wedding photos and they will be treasures for years to come."
