My husband and I have settled down on the Space Coast for now and started our little family. We have two fiercely independent girls, a 90 lb. chocolate husky + a 13 lb. rescue. Huge dog lovers over here, so if you bring your dogs to your session, or they happen to make an appearance on your wedding day, I can assure you my heart couldn't be happier. When I'm not editing or emailing you back, you can find me making memories with my family anywhere outside, cuddling my puppies while binge watching Yellowstone or walking the aisles of Target with a hot coffee in hand. There is nothing more rewarding than being able to document life as it happens and tell your beautiful and unique story. As you quickly realize, time doesn't wait for you. 

a little more about me

I am so glad you found my little space on the internet and I cannot wait to create art with you. What began as a hobby to pass time when my husband was deployed quickly turned into a passion. Photography is my art and chasing that golden hour light never gets old. I am so glad you're here and I hope I have the opportunity to show you how beautiful your family is through my lens. I am dedicated to capturing beautiful moments of your family that you can keep as memories forever. I started my business nine years ago in a small town in Eastern North Carolina and seven years ago that lead me to Florida's Space Coast.

I cannot say enough amazing things about M. Lauren Photography! Mary Lauren is so sweet and incredibly talented. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable during our maternity session and delivered beautiful photos we will cherish forever. I can't wait to have her document all our future family milestones!

Working with M. Lauren Photography was such an organic and relaxing experience. With a camera shy husband and a wild toddler, these pictures came out better than I could have ever envisioned. She is so talented and I look forward to working with her again. Book now for pictures you will want to hang in your house forever!

Mary Lauren has shot all of my big moments in life from graduating with my undergrad, to my masters graduation, to getting engaged or just family photos. She is so sweet and easy going and makes you so comfortable in front of the camera.

Love how my maternity pictures came out. Even if you don’t know how to pose or what you’re doing, Lauren guides you through each pose and makes you feel like you do. So worth it to capture these special moments and Lauren does a great job. Would 100% recommend her!

Had the best experience!! She turned my vision of the shoot into a reality. Also, for someone who doesn’t love being in front of a camera, she made me feel relaxed and comfortable and walked me through everything! 10/10 would use again!!
