Hi, I’m Lauren, and I’m a visual storyteller. I have expertise in photography, multimedia production, research communications, exhibition design, and more.

As a photographer, I primarily document religion and use my camera to explore the complex ways that belief intersects with culture and everyday life. I am also deeply interested in telling stories about the environment, climate change, and our relationship to nature.

Before I became a photographer, I was trained as a reporter. Today, I often write feature stories to accompany my photographic essays. I also collaborate with journalists and researchers on their written works.

I use my creative expertise to help scholars across fields share their work and make research more accessible to the public.

I have more than a decade of experience designing, curating, installing, and managing art exhibitions for venues around Ohio and beyond.
