Our passion for photography education goes beyond just teaching you to capture moments — it's about curating the images with purpose and intention. We've experienced firsthand how meaningful connections, intentional artistry, and a supportive community can transform not only your work but your life.

Best friends, creative partners, and adventure-loving moms who’ve spent the last eight years building our dream jobs — and doing it side by side. From the lava fields of Iceland to the vineyards of Italy, and the mountains of Colorado to quiet afternoons with our kids, We’ve built businesses grounded in purpose, creativity, and community.
Now, we’re pouring everything we’ve learned into The Curated Frame, a space for photographers who are ready to elevate their craft and build something meaningful — all while surrounded by heart, innovation, and genuine connection.

about us
Meet Lauren
I’m Lauren — a Colorado-native, Kansas-living wedding photographer, girl mama, lavender enthusiast, and wedding photographer with a deep love for storytelling—both through my lens and the pages of a good book.
When I’m not out at a wedding or engagement session, I am probably at home with a lavender martini, jamming to Sleep Token or Taylor Swift with a romantasy or spicy book in hand.
Photography has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My love for storytelling through images comes from my mom and my grandpa on my dad’s side, who both had a passion for capturing life’s moments. From flipping through old family albums to picking up a camera myself, I quickly fell in love with the way a single photograph can hold so much emotion and meaning.
While I pour my heart into documenting my couples in a way that feels authentic and true to them, I also have a deep passion for teaching and mentoring other photographers. I love fostering creativity, and I want to help photographers not just take better photos, but build a business and creative life they truly love.

Meet Rachel
I’m Rachel — boy mom, wedding and elopement photographer based in Georgia, raised in the mountains of Colorado, and shaped by a creative family and a deep love for Jesus. From a young age, I knew the 9–5 life wasn’t for me. I craved freedom, connection, and a way to tell stories that truly mattered.
The moment I picked up my first camera, I found all of that and more. Photography gave me purpose — a way to blend my love for people, creativity, and emotion into something lasting.
Over the years, I’ve photographed love stories all over the world and built a business that lets me do what I love every single day. But my passion doesn’t stop at taking photos — I’m just as fired up about teaching other photographers how to grow in their craft and confidence. I believe in open hands, honest community, and that there’s room for all of us to thrive.
Outside of photography, you can usually find me listening to my latest audible obsession, hiking on a trail, coloring with my Ohuhu markers, or blasting Taylor Swift, Morgan Wallen, and Odesza while sipping tequila (with or without a mixer, let’s be real). I'm a good time, a big dreamer, and someone who believes your story — and your work — matters.

Together
we believe
the best photos are the ones that feel like memories.
community matters more than competition.
storytelling is an art — and you are the artist.
education doesn’t have to be stuffy.
photography can be both a passion and a path to freedom.
