Meet Lauren Poore | Photographer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Lauren Poore and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Lauren, how do you think about risk?
Take all the risks you can! Risk-taking has played a huge role in who I am as an individual and what I am as a professional. I have moved cities, states and countries so many times just to try out new ways of living and I wouldn’t have changed a thing. Taking risks has taught me to be adaptable, daring and more resilient. By getting out of my comfort zone, I have learned and experienced so many things than I ever imagined.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I started my professional photography journey 10 years ago as an intern for a wedding photography company here in Colorado. I took every gig I could, learned from professionals in the field and taught myself how to start my own business down the road. I wouldn’t say it was easy, but it has been so worth it. There were moments when I wanted to give up and suffered from imposter syndrome. I learned to lean on my support system and believe in myself a little more to get through the tough times.

I have loved photography since I could pick up a Polaroid camera. I was always snapping photos of my pets, family & friends growing up. During high school, I took a semester of film photography and fell in love with the creative process. As a professional now, I still like to do fun shoots on my days off to keep the creativity flowing! My favorite pictures are the little “in-between” moments; those candid seconds when you are being your authentic self. These are the memories I aim to commemorate. I love to take photos that invoke emotion, meaning & bring people back into a moment in time.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I would take them around Denver for a couple of days then go explore the mountains for the rest of the time! I would take them to the University of Denver/South Pearl area to eat some tacos at Uno Mas and walk around Wash Park. We would definitely have make a couple stops at my favorite breweries (Trve Brew & Odell Brewing). Next up is exploring the mountains! Camping & hiking in the Summit county & Buena Vista areas are my favorites for weekend trips!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would like to dedicate my shoutout to my friends & family. Your unwavering support and love have been fundamental in growing my business and I couldn’t do it without you. I also want to give a shoutout to my return clients – you guys are amazing & I love getting to continue to work with you!
