Let's capture those unforgettable, unexplainable moments so you can look back on them and get the warm and fuzzies all over again. 

Sparkler Exit in Kansas City by Lauren Kailan
When history is being made it should be preserved. 

When he sneaks "the look" at his girl from across the room. When the family busts out in roaring laughs. When you climbed a mountain to watch the sun set. When your dad slips a tear as you walk down the aisle. When you watch life move in slow motion.

my philosophy

I aim to capture the moments and places that God has graciously shared with me so you can have them forever.

Portrait of Kansas City Photographer Lauren Kailan

Hi, I’m Lauren!

I am an engineer by degree and a creative at heart. I know it's not a typical combination but turns out, that's exactly what makes me- me.

Photography has always had a special place in my heart. I have always been the historian of my family. I remember as a kid, being at family and friend gatherings and celebrations thinking that it was important, or even my job, to preserve the moments that we shared together. Not only that, but I loved looking at these photos- my mom had this plastic bin in the dining room that contained hundreds of all these precious memories, ones that I was apart of and ones I could only live through the photo paper. It fueled my desire to collect more and more memories. And to think that I get to not only be a part of all your precious moments but to capture them for you also just makes the little historian in me so proud.
