Lifestyle Portraits
Our favorite portraits to shoot are natural, connection-focused sessions that emphasize the way your stage of life feels and the candid moments that make it magic. While we guide and direct your family during these sessions, our goal is to facilitate quality family time over perfect posing. These lifestyle portrait sessions are shot almost entirely on film, and we highly encourage shooting these in and around your home, although we’re happy to recommend alternatives as well.

our Offerings
Traditional Portraiture
We also offer traditional portrait sessions: while these prioritize getting that quintessential everyone-looking family photo, as well as classically posed individual portraits of each child, we still strive to capture some of those magical in-between moments that feel like you. Any portrait session can be captured with either style in mind; we’re happy to accommodate your personal preference!

"Everything Lauren touches turns to gold."
Not only does Lauren understand light and environment in a way that begets the dreamiest photos, but she also engages with her clients in a way that makes them feel relaxed and comfortable, resulting in organic, natural photos (even in the face of the most unenthused children and self-proclaimed awkward husbands). I will never trust another photographer to capture my family’s milestones.
