LAUREN MAFFEO
Owner, Photographer, Cinematographer & EDITOR
I simply love what I do and am passionate about telling your story!
Lauren’s journey into the world of high-end photography and film began at just sixteen, when she started creating and editing videos on her own. Her passion for storytelling led her to earn a degree in Digital Film Production, and by 21 she was already working as a line producer on international commercials.
At 21, Lauren moved to Los Angeles to work at Warner Brothers Studios. While her time in California was invaluable, it also revealed her true calling: capturing life’s real, unscripted moments. In 2011, she relocated to Austin with the dream of starting her own production company—a dream she quickly turned into reality.
More than twelve years later, Lauren continues to bring her love of photography and film to every project. Her clients often notice that her passion shines through both her work and her life—so much so that even on vacation, she’s never without her camera. For her, this isn’t just a career; it’s pure joy.
(And no worries—she promises never to show up at your wedding in white or heels!)
My philosophy is simple: Capturing life's moments that are irreversible.
Lauren is rarely seen without a camera in hand—photography isn’t just her career, it’s a true obsession. Recently married to an amazing husband who has embraced the role of bonus father to her children, Lauren brings the same joy and commitment to her family life as she does to her work.
Based in Austin, Texas, Lauren and her family are always on the move, traveling often and embracing new adventures. With deep family roots in Mexico, she and her children are bilingual in Spanish and English, spending much of their time immersed in both cultures.
Curious, outgoing, and endlessly enthusiastic, Lauren loves meeting new people, discovering their stories, and sharing in life’s experiences. Her personality is as vibrant as her work—though she’ll admit, her quick wit and sarcasm come along for the ride too.
Lauren is a proud mom to two energetic boys, Romeo and Theo, who keep her world full of laughter and adventure. When she’s not behind the camera or editing, you’ll often find her at playgrounds, parks, or sporting events, making the most of family time.
Her work takes her traveling at least three times a month, and with family in both New York and Mexico, she and her boys are frequent flyers. Nearly a quarter of Lauren’s shoots are international, so her passport is always ready for the next destination.
Wherever the journey takes her, Lauren’s greatest joy is capturing the real, unscripted moments that tell each client’s unique story
