THE PHOTOGRAPHER

Mother. Memory-keeper. Visual storyteller.

Hello, I’m Laken.

I live in Branson, Missouri, with my husband and our three children. I love spending my days in the sunshine, reading with my little ones, trying out new recipes and romanticizing the ordinary. I believe that God created me to create!

My creative path has always centered on connection. With a background in event planning and marketing, I knew I wanted to serve people in a more intimate and meaningful way. Photography gave me both the creative freedom and fulfillment I had been searching for. 

Since 2018, it has been such a joy to preserve heartfelt moments through honest, elegant imagery. I approach every session with care and attention to the little things that make your story truly yours.

I believe your everyday is beautiful, and your story is worth remembering.
