In a world where moments often pass by in a blur, we treasure those like Emily Lauren of Emily Lauren Photography, who has mastered the art of seizing life's fleeting beauty and locking it within the confines of a camera lens.

"Photography is not just a passion; it's a way of life," Emily shares. Her journey as a professional photographer began in 2007, but her love affair with the art began much earlier. As a child, she watched her parents freeze moments in time through their photography, each with their unique photographic perspective.

"I watched my mom take photos on an older Canon film camera, and her Polaroid camera, and my Dad was a great photographer, too," Emily recalls. "I truly believe I get the best of my work from their hearts and eyes."

It's this deep-rooted appreciation for the beauty of life that fuels Emily's passion for photography. Her lens captures not just moments but stories – the laughter, the tears, the subtle glances that often go unnoticed. Her quest is to tell the story of life in all its raw and unfiltered glory.

"I want my photos to tell stories," Emily says. "To show the happy moments, the sad moments, the moments that no one notices."

But what makes Emily's work genuinely remarkable is her dedication to love, her belief in fairytales, and the enduring power of romance. Her portfolio is a tapestry of weddings, family sessions, and styled fairytale shoots – each frame narrating a story of love, hope, and the promise of forever.

"I focus mostly on romance because I want my clients, followers, and anyone that comes across my work to know that it still exists," Emily says. "I want my art, photographs, and writings to give people hope."

Her ability to infuse her art with hope isn't just a professional commitment; it's deeply personal. Emily's life story is marked by love, heartbreak, and an unwavering spirit. She's been through two marriages and two divorces, moments that could have crushed her faith in love.

"I almost gave up shooting as well because my heart was so broken," she confides. "But the only thing that matters at the end of the day is that you never give up on yourself, your dreams, your beliefs, and your future."

This resilience and her own journey of hope have left an indelible mark on her photography. Emily's photographs don't just capture love; they inspire it. She encourages couples to hold each other tighter on their special day, leaving behind a heartfelt letter to remind them of the importance of cherishing love.

Beyond her passion for photography, Emily's dreams and goals encompass a wide spectrum. She aspires to become an International Wedding Photographer, sharing her craft and knowledge with budding photographers worldwide. She dreams of paying off her parents' house, building a tiny mountain home for herself and her dogs, and traveling the world. She is also writing a book, which has been a seven-year endeavor, and she hopes to see it published.

Amidst all her achievements, Emily has found an ally in PhotoBiz, a platform that supports her website and art. With her DIY spirit, she's crafted her entire website on her own, but what she cherishes most is the service, particularly the warmth and friendliness of the team.

"I love how caring the team is," Emily shares. "Every time I have ever had a question, I was treated so kindly and promptly. It honestly felt like I was talking to a friend on the phone whenever I would call in."

As she looks ahead to 2024, Emily's focus is clear. She's determined to continue creating the art she loves, spending time with her family, and traveling the world to capture the most enchanting wedding moments. Her 2024 travel plans include Ireland. "The greenery, the landscapes, the castles, the music, the magic, it speaks to me in so many ways," Emily says excitedly. Education is also in her future as she pursues teaching and mentoring new photographers, sharing her wisdom and passion with the next generation.

But above all, Emily has learned that life and love are enduring; even when a chapter ends, a story is not over. She's not just a photographer, she is also a storyteller who weaves hope and love into every frame. Emily Lauren's lens doesn't just capture moments; it captures life's profound stories, echoing the promise of love and the beauty of human connections.
