I'm Laken Longnecker!

I am a boot wearing, country loving gal with a soft and old soul. I've had a camera in my hand since I was 13, literally... and I decided to never put it down. For 6 years now, I have turned a silly little hobby into my dream business.
My work is inspired by both the natural beauty of my surroundings and my deep faith. Specializing in wedding, couples and senior photography, I strive to capture the authentic moments that make life truly special.

Laken's Photography

I believe the small details matter just as much as the main idea. No matter if I am photographing a wedding, couples, or senior photos, I find the beauty in the small things. What to expect during our time together... I promise one thing, I'm not shy! I'm going to be goofy to make pure laughter and smiles...I'm going to jump around when I capture a moment I'm so excited to share... AND I'm going to give you a photo gallery that is going to give you the "Holy Molly I'm going to cry" factor.

On the farm...

On the farm I'm surrounded by the tranquility of rural life, which infuses my photography with a unique sense of peace and grace.

God blessed me with a beautiful life, and one amazing farmer. I incorporate so much of my work just around the farm, showing the raw beauty of daily life.

As many of my clients have came to the farm for their photos, I always offer it as a potential location for them!
