About

Poetry in the ordinary. Magic in the everyday
Digital + film photography
35mm / Super 8

Hello! I'm Lauren. I am a wedding and lifestyle photographer located in southern Louisiana with 14 years of photography experience. I shoot a mix of digital and film photography to document life and love. I am a lover of beautiful light and slow living. Whether it's experiencing life through my children's eyes, putting some TLC into our cozy century-old farmhouse, or sharing laughs over a home cooked meal with my nearest and dearest, these moments fuel my inspiration and keep my creativity flowing. The best days of my life are spent in the garden, sipping on a honey lavender latte and watching our flowers and summer veggies grow.

BEST Photographer!

I could not recommend Lauren more! When I first started planning my wedding I wasn’t sure I wanted to spend money on a photographer, I even considered asking a friend. After ready many articles that strongly encouraged the investment, I truly think I found the best photographer! Lauren was great from the start, very excited to work at my wedding and be a part of the day. She made me feel special from the very beginning. Our engagement photos were beautiful and perfect! On the wedding day she was very organized and had planned for all the family photos we needed. We got those out of the way quickly and spent time capturing fun, unique shots with our party and as a couple. It was a perfect mix of fun, stylish, and traditional shots. She really captured the entire day, the emotion behind it and the pure party of the reception! All my guests and friends have been raving about my photos, asking for copies, and saying everyone single picture is amazing. I agree!!!!!! Lauren has a true vision and talent for capturing special moments. Looking back at the photos I get to see all the elements of the wedding day that made if perfect. Plus Lauren is just supper fun, warm, and a great person to have around on one the biggest days of your life.

I can't say enough good things about Lauren Carroll Photography. I planned my wedding long-distance, and she was extremely helpful and responsive to our questions. She even provided a list of preferred vendors that we worked off of for our other planning needs. The day of the wedding she and her partner were so much fun to work with. The bridal party still talks about how friendly they were and what a fun experience it was to take wedding pictures! The pictures from our wedding were also incredible, and will be cherished for years to come. I am so thrilled that we got the chance to work with Lauren!

I am so grateful that my wedding planner brought Lauren Carroll to me!! Lauren isn't quite as well known as some of the other big New Orleans names......but I feel its only a matter of time. My first phone call with her before booking really helped seal the deal. I could tell right away that Lauren is an incredibly sweet soul and that she seemed like the right person to capture our day. On the day of the wedding, Lauren showed up and started taking pictures of us getting ready and she does so almost invisibly. When it came time for the group and family photos, Lauren interacts with everyone so well. She is such a sweet and calming presence. Everyone in the wedding party/family has told me how much they enjoyed having her around and how she just seems to set everyone at ease. Within 2 days of the wedding, Lauren had preview pictures to me. And OMG, they are amazing!! Even in the "posed" pictures, Lauren captures real, candid moments that are just beautiful! Thank you Lauren for sharing your beautiful talent with others and capturing such special moments!!

Lauren in AMAZING!!!! I am absolutely in love with our pictures (and so is everyone else!) She was able to catch the uniqueness of our wedding and personalities through the camera lens. She is extremely easy to work with and made us all feel very comfortable in front of the camera. I have already suggested her services to other brides for their wedding!

If I could give more than five stars I would. Lauren is amazing!! The first time we met up to talk I could tell she was going to be the perfect person to shoot for us. She is so good at putting awkward photo-takers like my husband and me at ease. She is full of awesome ideas and has lots of locations that are hidden gems where you can get pictures that are interesting and different. She responses quickly to e-mails and goes above and beyond to make sure her clients are happy. If you're thinking about picking her for your wedding, do it!!

I can not say enough amazing things about Lauren! From our first meeting a year before the wedding she was responsive, excited, bubbly and professional. She answered every one of my emails with in hours, if not minutes. Closer to the wedding she sent me a questionnaire about my style and who we wanted photos with. On the day of Lauren showed up right on time and started snapping photos, my bridesmaids and I had so much fun shooting with her. Now that its been a month since the wedding i already have my photos!!

Lauren has a God-given gift with a camera in her hands. Hands down, the most pleasurable and chill photographer to work with. Lauren made every photo session fun and easy, and she had a way of making me feel so comfortable in front of a camera. The photos that Lauren took at our wedding were simply: stunning! She captured the important moments, the details, and the personalities of everyone perfectly! Lauren even danced with us during the reception while she was shooting photos; it was so much fun! She is amazingly priced for the quality work she delivers, and her turnaround time is super quick! I cannot recommend her highly enough! LOVED working with her.

I met Lauren while preaching a wedding at Old Christ Church in Pensacola. The couple was from Louisiana and were getting married in the historic old building. It was like watching a ballerina tip toe across glass. Lauren missed nothing. Spot on with every move. The couple was thrilled....the shots I saw were breathtaking...I can see why she is New Orleans' most sought-after... kudos to you Lauren and team. I look forward to working with you all again.
