LAUREN MACKENZIE

I am Lauren Mackenzie. I am a custom, natural light, portrait photographer based in Ohio. I started photographing in 2009 at the ripe age of 17 and fell in love with the intimacy of portraits. I then went to College and graduated with a BFA of 2D Arts at Bowling Green State University in December of 2014. My thesis work is mostly landscapes taken with a Large Format 4x5 Film camera, and I was lucky enough to expand on my passion by teaching film photography workshops. 

I strive for my photography to stay authentic, candid and portray real emotion, sticking to the theme of real life. Looking for personality, humanity and uniqueness to provide my clients with a moment that is uniquely them. I believe those honest moments are the ones that you want to hang on your wall and hand down through generations. Recently weddings and engagements have taken a forefront in my work, finding couples who I know are meant to be together and who compliment each other completely. Which makes sense why I named my "project" True Love.
