Hi, I’m Lauren. I live in Winston-Salem, NC and when I’m not photographing life’s most beautiful moments, you can find me with a coffee in hand, snuggling my babies and my husband, Vaughan, on the couch, watching Friends on Netflix.
HELLO
PHOTOS BY JAKE + HEATHER
People often refer to me as “Jolly,” “Jolls,” “LJ,” or any variation of those things. Yes, I’m married and Jolly isn’t technically my last name anymore, but what can I say? It stuck.
I love serving the world by reminding people of how beautiful their life is. We tend to compare our lives to the perfect instagram “highlight reels” we see all the time, but my goal is to capture your everyday, perfect, sweet, emotional moments that are just plain gorgeous. Real life is beautiful and I want to help you remember that.
I’m most passionate about the tiny moments in-between. The moment you hear your sweet baby’s cry for the very first time. The moment he grabs your hand and your heart skips a beat. The sleepy snuggles from your “too-old-to-cuddle” toddler. These moments speak right to my heart.
I love to work with people who are passionate about beautiful photos and want their life documented so they can adorn their walls with memories.

The birth of your child is arguably the most life-altering moment you’ll ever experience. Nothing before or after could ever compare to the moment you bring life into the world. This is the beginning of your legacy, the beginning of your family. My goal is to allow you to focus on this incredible time with your family while I capture the moments for you to share with your children one day.

The investment in birth photography far exceeds monetary sacrifices and is in an investment in preserving the memories of a day and time
I never want to forget."
