Hi, I’m Lauren — and I’m really glad you’re here.

I design brands and custom websites for photographers who are ready to grow, raise their rates, and finally feel confident sending people to their site.

I’m Lauren — mom of two, Midwest-based designer, and the creative behind Golden Pine.

I didn’t start Golden Pine because I just “love design.” I started it because I know what it feels like to outgrow your current level.

To look at your work and think, “This is good… but my brand doesn’t show that yet.”

I’ve always been someone who builds her own path. I care about details. I care about doing things well. And I care deeply about helping other women build businesses that actually support their lives — not drain them.

When I started designing websites, I quickly realized it wasn’t just about making something pretty. It was about helping photographers step into the next version of their business. Raising their prices. Attracting better-fit clients. Feeling proud of their online presence.

That’s what Golden Pine is about.
Thoughtful strategy. Elevated design. And brands that feel grounded, confident, and completely aligned.

I help photographers build brands and custom websites that feel elevated, strategic, and completely aligned with the level they’re stepping into.

I believe your brand should support your business — not hold it back. It should help you charge confidently, attract better-fit clients, and feel proud every time you send someone your link.

That’s what Golden Pine is here for.

More than design. It’s about growth.
