Female portrait and humanitarian Canon photographer in Port-au-Prince, Haiti

Lauren is an international photographer, writer, and speaker whose 10+ years’ experience in the non-profit sector largely influences how she chooses to celebrate the beauty of family and the value of connection through her work.

Since then, she has found deep purpose in documenting the various dynamics of family, in its many different shapes and forms, near and far.
