I’m Lauren Mannikko, a 27-year-old photographer based in Reno, Nevada, with a passion for capturing real moments and genuine emotion. I specialize in sports and event photography, where I thrive on fast-paced action and unpredictable energy, while also creating portraits that feel natural, relaxed, and true to the person in front of my camera. Photography isn’t just what I do — it’s what drives me. Whether I’m on the sidelines, in the crowd, or working one-on-one, my goal is always to tell honest stories through bold, dynamic images that people can feel as much as they see.
