  • WELCOME!

    Give us a minute to introduce ourselves. We are Lauren and Lindsay of Laurel Isle Photography. Yes, we are sisters and no, we aren't twins (we get that questions more than one would think!) We started this business about 3 years ago with nothing more than a dream, two cameras and a group of people who believed in us. From there we have grown from whatever-you-need photographers to wedding/portrait/boudoir photographers and we couldn't feel more blessed!

    In this last year, Lauren has moved up to Oregon. We now work in both California and Oregon and we LOVE IT! This move has enabled us capture more stories then we ever thought possible. Your story is our thing really. We love to capture how you met, who you love, and where you are headed. Browse around our site, and see what we have done. If you're interested in us capturing your story, feel free to call or email! We would love to hear from you. <3

Artiga Family {Family Portraits} Manhattan Portrait Photographers

One of my absolutely favorite places to have a family portrait session is underneath Manhattan Beach Pier. I know. It’s sort of typical and many other photographers use it, but I can totally see why! Even when the weather is over cast and sun is hiding behind dark grey clouds, the pier still looks just as good. When the Artiga family told me they wanted to go by the beach, I new exactly the place. The weather wasn’t California Sunny, but it was a good day none-the-less.:)

Thank you, Artiga family, for such a great session. I enjoyed meeting everyone and I wish your family all the best!

Hope to see you soon,

Lindsay

Laura Savage {Class of 2013} Hollywood Lifestyle Photographers

I feel like I have known Laura forever, but really it hasn’t been THAT long. We both attended the same youth group together (she in Jr. High and I, only in a freshman in college) and as we grew up the more I learned about how absolutely fascinating Laura was and would become. She is talented in more ways than one, always curious about the life around her and definitely passionate. I have loved seeing her use her talents and lead others around her with her passion. I know she is going to change the world some day. Well, I am pretty sure.:)Obviously, I was so stoked to take her senior photos and I am even more stoked to see what she does with her life after high school.

Congratulations, Laura, on making it out of high school! I know its been a long journey for you and I am really excited to see what the rest of it has for you. I wish you all the best and more! <3

xoxo,

Lauren and Lindsay

Carly Saber {Class of 2013} Hollywood Lifestyle Photographers

Before our session together, I hadn’t really spent much time with Carly, but I figured she had to be a pretty cool girl if she hung out with Stephanie and Laura (who you will meet next). She was a little more than just “cool.”;)Carly is super funny, and a great story teller. On our long drive to Griffith Park (which should only take 20 minutes, but that’s LA for ya), Carly was in the back seat with the two other girls talking away and making us laugh. I knew that between these three girls this session was going to be fun.

Thank you, Carly, for joining our session that day. I really enjoyed getting to know you better and I know that there is a pretty big future of ahead of you. I wish you all the best in your first year of college!

xoxo,

- Lindsay and Lauren

Stephanie Rowan {Class of 2013!} Hollywood Lifestyle Photographers

A while back,my sister and I did a fun shoot with this young lady and a few of her friends as a promo for senior sessions. Almost a year later, she asked my sister and I to do senior photos. I was more than excited to do it. Stephanie and two of her other close friends (who you will meet later) decided to do a session all together. Those kind of sessions are always the best! We arrived at Griffith Park just before the sun was in full swing to set. It was a beautiful day and it only got better as the sun went down. We spent some time wandering the Old Zoo at Griffith Park and finally made our way in front of the LA Zoo. I really couldn’t ask for  a more perfect session than with this lovely girl and her friends.

Congratulations, Stephanie, on finishing High School! You made it! You have a whole lot of life to look forward to and I hope you enjoy every minute of it. I look forward to seeing what amazing things you do with your life. Thank you for allowing my sister and I to be a part of this life defining moment. See you soon!

xoxo,

Lindsay

Ryder Family {Spring Minis!} Marina Del Rey Family Portrait Photographers

At the moment I am sitting on the couch with my pup and Dad while watching an Audrey Hepburn classic – Paris when it Sizzles. I have never watched this movie before, but so far it’s enjoyable. Mostly because Hepburn soft tones are always pleasant and that I am finally sitting down with my family after a crazy week. I am currently  in the middle of three major events and my two jobs while trying to juggle normal life. I surprisingly had this moment to sit down. It feels really good and really good that some of my family was able to join me.

Sometimes that happens – life gets busy. Sometimes it gets so busy that we miss things. I missed my pup eating out of her bowl for the first time a month ago because I was at work for too long (before then she would only eat out of my hand). Now I am trying a little harder to be intentional about spending time with people (and puppies) that matter.

It’s nice when people help make that time for you. The Lopez family (see previous post) did exactly that. They provided this sweet time at our Spring Minis for the Ryder Family. It was so enjoyable to meet them and it really impressed me that the Lopez family wanted to do that.

It’s not the first time this has happened, but when it does, I always think  it’s awesome. Things change quickly, but usually pictures tend to stick around.;)

Thank you, Ryder Family, for being a part of my minis. I hope to see you soon!
