Lauren’s Taxidermy Artistry

Lauren’s Taxidermy Artistry VA licensed taxidermist, member of the VTA. Self taught since 2018. In house tanning offered!

Growing up, I was always moving from place to place to which, I was fortunate enough to see different landscapes and different wildlife. I’ve always been fascinated by nature and landscapes since I was a little girl, and since then, it’s become more than just a fascination—it’s become my passion. Focusing mainly on nature photography, I want to be able to showcase different aspects of nature, whil

e also doing portraiture and taxidermy on the side. Every one of my works won’t be the same—each one will be different via lighting, subject, and environment—as if it were its very own organism. I am a current student at the Art Institutes of Pittsburgh-Online Division, having been enrolled since June of 2013. I am pursuing to get my Associate's Degree in Photography, with high hopes of returning later on for my Bachelor's. As a learning photographer, I aim to offer my clients a relaxing, yet professional atmosphere while having a little bit of fun to ease up the tension. This page will offer my photographic services solely on the weekends for now, due to vehicle availability, as well as keeping up with my schoolwork. I will also post older photos to show how I have progressed as a photographer, as well as previous schoolwork to show what I am capable of doing. I would deeply appreciate feedback, as well as advice from local professional photographers to develop my skills and keep a strict photographer/client relationship.

To all of my clients, old and new,

As of November 20th, I will not be working on mounts or taking in anything at this time. I am having a hysterectomy and I will not be able to lift, carry, tug, etc for the next 6-8 weeks. If I am close to being done with a mount, I am sorry but it will be postponed until I am able to work on it without needing to take pain medications or have a weight limit to be able to adhere to.

I understand it is close to the holidays and everyone is chomping at the bit, but my health is more important.

Please refrain from messaging or texting as I will not be responding back until I am able to resume your mounts. Everything will remain in the queue they are in until further notice.
