Preserving the Quiet Beauty of Motherhood on Film
Welcome to a place where the quiet beauty of motherhood is captured on film, preserving moments that feel as timeless as they are fleeting. I specialize in serene, heartfelt motherhood sessions, focusing on the intimate bond between you and your little ones. With a gentle approach and the nostalgic touch of film, my goal is to create images that glow with warmth and emotion, giving you tangible keepsakes that beautifully reflect the love and connection you’ll treasure forever.
What to Expect
The studio is bathed in natural light, creating a serene setting for our session. Our setup will be intentionally minimal, allowing us to truly capture the beautiful moments shared between you and your children. It is my objective to showcase your beauty and natural spirit, while ensuring that your little ones feel at ease and enjoy this special time with you. Rather than contrived poses, my approach focuses on documenting the authentic interactions of motherhood, preserving these fleeting moments while they are little.
What to Wear
I believe that capturing your spirit through your style is key to feeling beautiful and at ease during the shoot. I adore a neutral color scheme for its stunning photographic results, especially in studio settings, I also recommend going barefoot, wearing those well-loved jeans, opting for a flowing ethereal top, or wrapping yourself in a cozy sweater. Integrating subtle pops of color amid the neutral tones can add a delightful touch – remember, simple patterns work well, and avoiding logos tends to look best.

As a photographer for families, Lauren captures true-to-life candid images to be passed down for generations to come. She documents what is real – authenticity revealed as beautiful art.

Make Your Photo Unveiling a Time to Cherish
Approximately 3 weeks after your session, you'll receive a personalized link to view a slideshow of all the beautiful moments captured during your photo session. Instead of quickly viewing it on your phone, I recommend turning it into a memorable occasion. Treat yourself to your favorite beverage and immerse yourself in the slideshow on your desktop or TV screen for the optimal viewing experience.

Each session is approximately 30-45 mins long. I’ve found this is the sweet spot for kiddos 5 and under.

Unless you’ve modeled professionally, you’re probably going to feel awkward in front of the camera. Heck, I take photos for a living and I even feel like a deer in the headlights when I’m in front of the camera.
You’re going to feel awkward at first, but as the session goes on and I coach you through images, I think you’ll find that being photographed can actually be fun. And don’t worry about your kids. I’m well versed in capturing even the busiest of little ones.

Kids get sick – I completely understand! If you find your kiddo is feeling sick, please let me know at least 24 hours in advance and we will find an alternate date.
-
Yes! You will see all of your images in your slideshow, before choosing your package.

Absolutely! I believe it’s so important to have your images living somewhere other than a hard drive. There is nothing like physically holding prints or an album and flipping through the pages. Prints, albums and framed photographs offered through your gallery.
