The heart of the family

Yes! I am so glad you made it here. Get in the picture mamma, that is my message. The kids want to be WITH you, not as an ever present background security blanket, but they want to see your personality, to play with you, to make you smile. They don’t care if you don’t look like you did when you were 20, they love your squishy bits and they want to be with YOU.

Come and join me for a fun-filled, hug-inducing, relaxed session. It can be whatever you want; I can be a fly on the wall while you play or I can give you some gentle guidance.

Lets start the convo about how best to capture your family.

FAQ

Don’t stress! reschedules are all part of it when you work outdoors and with kids. If someone is sick leading up to the session or the day of just let me know and we can arrange a new time for the shoot. With respect to the weather I will be in contact the week leading up and believe me when I say I am ALWAYS on the weather app! If I think we need to reschedule I will reach out.
Kids are kids. You can only do so much and the best way to ensure their cooperation is to roll with whatever they want to do. All the normal rules fly out the window. Embrace their personalities and behaviour. I am more than likely getting sneaky smiles when you aren’t watching. If you get upset with them it is only going to make them act out more or get upset. Shower them with cuddles and love and enjoy being present with them for the time we are together, that is where the magic is.
Well lucky for you I have put together a bit of a guide on outfit choice for our session! Have a look at that info here
Honestly i would say 90% of my client come to me saying that either they or their partner doesn’t like photos. I can assure you they all leave saying that it much more fun than expected. It really is more about having a chat and getting to know each other. I have lots of tricks up my sleeve for making people feel comfortable and not on show. It does help though if everyone comes in with a positive attitude ready to embrace and have some fun.
I do require a depsoit to hold your date in my calendar. There is a flat $50 deposit for all sessions except weddings where I take 10%. The balance for all sessions is due the date of the session.

“Amazing photos and amazing to work with”

Amazing photos and amazing to work with, we have had three lots of family photos with Lauren and so pleased we didn't try an alternate photographer. Lauren makes the process very easy with her lovely and personable personality. Can highly recommend her services.
“Not only did she make my photo hating family feel comfortable, she makes sessions fun”

Lauren is an amazing photographer. Not only did she make my photo hating family feel comfortable, she makes sessions fun & enjoyable. We have used her twice now for family photographs & both times I have cried happy tears when I see the beautiful moments she has captured. I treasure her photos & I am so glad she was recommended to me. We will defiantly be utilising her skills again in the future. Could not recommend highly enough!
“Lauren is amazing! Not only is her work INCREDIBLE and we are SO thrilled..”

Lauren is amazing! Not only is her work INCREDIBLE and we are SO thrilled with our beautiful images but she is SO lovely to work with. We had never done a family shoot before and we were a little nervous. Especially as to how our 3 year old and 10 month old would cope with it all. But Lauren made us feel so comfortable, relaxed and at ease. We felt as through we were doing a photoshoot with an old friend. We laughed the entire time and it was so special to watch our eldest daughter who is VERY shy around new people become completely obsessed with Lauren... to the point she wanted a huge hug before Lauren left. Thankyou Lauren for such spectacular images that we will treasure forever and your kind and calm presence. We will definitely need to work with you again! x
“She captures the most beautiful candid moments. She is so patient..”

Highly recommend Lauren. We’ve had three sessions with her over the years as our family has grown. She captures the most beautiful candid moments. She is so patient, good humoured and able to gain co-operation from little people. Fantastic photos from a no stress session. We’ll see you again next year!
"Lauren is beyond great. Her eye for great lighting and her natural style always makes for great pictures"

I have had around SIX shoots with Lauren. It started as a maternity and new born shoot. But each year I make sure to capture some moments as a family as I’m always the one behind the phone camera. Lauren is beyond great. Her eye for great lighting and her natural style always makes for great pictures to cherish forever. I cannot recommend Lauren enough.
