Southwest-Central Florida Photographer | Creative Soul |
✨ Photographer. Storyteller. Chaos Organizer. Chronic “That’s What She Said” User. ✨
I’m Lauren Mann... founder of Sixteen Roses Photography, and no, I didn’t name it because I’m secretly a florist (but I do bring flowers to shoots sometimes, let’s be real).
Based in Avon Park and Cape Coral Florida, I’ve been photographing life’s realest moments since 2010... capturing raw emotion, bold connection, and the kind of beauty that doesn’t need perfection to be powerful. I started this journey thinking photography would just be a creative outlet… but it turned into my purpose. This business grew from the grit of personal healing, late-night editing marathons, and the deep belief that people deserve to be seen exactly as they are.
What I do isn’t just about pretty pictures. It’s about storytelling. Soul. The quiet in-between moments that say everything. Whether it’s a maternity session filled with soft strength or a couple’s shoot where your love steals the show... I’m here for all of it. The tears, the laughs, the chaos, the stillness. I want you to walk away feeling something.
But okay, here’s the fine print, because I’m not just your photographer...I’m also your human:
- I’m a boy mom and a cat mom (equal parts chaos and cuddles).
- I decorate cakes like a boss...don’t tempt me with buttercream.
- I’ve seen The Office too many times, and yes, I will absolutely say “that’s what she said” during your session if the moment calls for it.
- My humor is a blend of dry, sarcastic, and lovingly unfiltered. If we click, you’ll feel it fast.
- I’m not everyone’s flavor...and I’m good with that. I want clients who vibe with me, trust me, and know that when they book with me, they’re not just hiring a photographer… they’re investing in someone who gives a damn.
To every client who’s trusted me, to my family and friends who saw this dream before it had a name...thank you. Truly.
Now let’s tell your story the way it deserves to be told.
With love + a little sass,
Lauren
