I’m the girl behind Bitz of Life Photography—Montana wedding photographer, adventure-seeker, dog lover, and the one most likely to cry happy tears behind the lens at your ceremony. Raised in the Pacific Northwest and now calling Montana home, I’ve always been drawn to fresh air, moody skies, and love stories that feel as real and grounded as the landscapes I shoot in.
You’ll find me chasing golden light, braving chilly mornings for the perfect shot, and laughing right alongside you as we capture the little moments you’ll never want to forget.
My editing style is clean and true to color with a touch of warmth. I believe your photos should feel timeless and real—not overly filtered or trendy. Whether you’re running barefoot through a field, dancing under stormy skies, or saying your vows in front of a Montana mountain range, my approach is all about documenting the energy, movement, and joy of the day in a way that feels effortless and natural.
Think of it as editorial meets adventure.
Grounded in storytelling, elevated by emotion.
From the first email to your gallery delivery day, I’m here to make things easy, comfortable, and full of good energy. I’ll guide you when you need it, cheer you on when you least expect it, and help create a space where you can show up exactly as you are.
If you’re looking for a Montana wedding photographer who’s a mix of hype girl, calm presence, and quietly sentimental—we might just be a perfect fit.

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."

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!"
