As the grandson of a stage actor and the son of a television camera operator, creativity and visual media run in his veins. Kirk’s love for photography was nurtured from an early age, the initial spark being a family road trip to Maine when he was 7 years old. Two weeks and 21 rolls of film later, he was hooked.

Since those early days Kirk has honed his skills shooting sports and portrait photography throughout high school and college. After college, Kirk moved to Chicago and fell in love with the Windy City’s architecture. Deciding to make a career out of his passion, he co-founded Chicago Home Photography. Two years and many happy clients later, a change of scenery was in order. Kirk moved west to California with Lauren, and established San Diego Home Photography.

When Lauren was 12, her mom put her on an airplane to Frankfurt to spend the summer with her cousins. Armed with too many suitcases and one point-and-shoot camera, she traveled around Europe for three months. The architecture and landscapes from Paris to Budapest served as fantastic subjects. Her interest in photography was piqued.

Lauren loves to travel, and her camera is a constant companion. Since her trip to Europe as a twelve year-old, she has returned to Europe twice, spent a college semester abroad in New Zealand, lived like a local for five weeks in Costa Rica, and enjoyed the “No worries, mate” lifestyle for a half year in Australia. No matter where she is in the world, her favorite subject to shoot is architecture. Together, she and Kirk run San Diego Home Photography.
