About
Lauren Miller is a creator, problem solver, photo editor and photographer. After graduating Magna Cum Laude Syracuse University, she took a job at the Casper Star-Tribune in Wyoming as their only staff photographer. She is interested in visual storytelling in all forms including photography, cinematography, portraiture, audio storytelling and image illustrations and adjusts her approach based upon each project’s distinct needs. She is dedicated to genuinely capturing the intimate, mundane and beautiful moments and emotions that make up daily life. Outside of her work, she is passionate about the outdoors, baking, intersectional feminism, deep-dish pizza, learning, human connection and, occasionally, long walks on the beach.
