hello! I’m Lauren.
WHERE DISC GOLF MEETS STORY TELLING FROM BEHIND THE LENS - BASED IN THE MIDWEST.
I help outdoor brands, park districts, and disc golf companies capture the real spirit of the game — and the wild places it thrives in.
Disc Golf has been a huge part of my life since 2004. Put simply, it is my life’s work — documenting disc golf culture for over two decades.
My mission is to help disc golf grow in a sustainable way, while preserving its roots.
To do this I work independently, and with disc golf and outdoor-minded brands to increase engagement in the modern online world.
Do you want more people to discover your disc golf course or outdoor brand? I can help you stand out — with scroll-stopping visuals that feel as wild and grounded as the game itself.
WHO I WORK WITH
I collaborate with park districts to boost disc golf course visibility, disc golf companies to showcase products in action, and license imagery for tourism and lifestyle brands who want to reach outdoor-minded audiences.
I specialize in…
Authentic brand photography for disc golf companies and outdoor gear brand.
Licensed disc golf course imagery for park districts, tourism boards and more.
1:1 Coaching for disc golf brands and outdoor-minded businesses who are ready to discover their blindspots, define and sharpen their visual identity - and break into the disc golf niche.
