“Lauren has a way of making photography feel like a conversation with a close friend”
"We have used Lauren for two separate photo sessions: a maternity photo shoot and a newborn photo shoot. She was extremely professional and efficient at both sessions; in particular, the newborn photo shoot included both sets of grandparents, our 2.5 week old twins, and our two dogs, and Lauren managed them all with ease to capture all the photos we wanted, including some we hadn’t thought of. Both sets of grandparents also mentioned how much fun they had shooting with her. Most importantly, Lauren took amazing photos that we will treasure for years to come. We will definitely be using her for our future family photos and highly recommend her to everyone."

"Shooting with Lauren is always a dream. Every time I have gotten the chance to work with her I feel inspired and refreshed once the session finishes. Lauren truly pulls your creative energy forward and makes you feel good in front of the camera. I invite anyone who wants a talented, caring, and insightful photographer to book Lauren, I can't recommend her enough!"

“Lauren did a portrait session with me at my home. At a pivotal point in my life, I wanted to capture the moment, which Lauren did perfectly. In the past, I have never been super comfortable in front of the camera but Lauren has a way of making photography feel like a conversation with a close friend. She was caring and open to my ideas and was also prepared with other ideas that all flowed naturally. I really enjoyed this session and plan to ask Lauren to capture my future important life moments!”
- Lauren
“Lauren is great! My boyfriend and I scheduled a fall photoshoot with her and we did not know what to expect or how to pose. She suggested a cute spot, helped us to feel comfortable and suggested poses. It all flowed super natural and we got the most special memories captured. I will definitely schedule more photo sessions with her because I can trust her work and her kindness.”

“Lauren gave us back a moment we thought the pandemic had taken from us forever. With a quick Covid elopement in our living room after our original wedding was canceled, we only have a handful of phone images from our wedding. With Lauren, we were able to recreate our wedding a year later and take beautiful professional photos. Lauren helped craft new memories for us. Being able to take our wedding photos in our city, Long Beach, gave us moments we will treasure forever. Each shot is beautifully composed, capturing that perfect moment where you look as good as you feel.”
- Dayspring
“When you have a child you really begin to understand the importance of documenting their lives, your lives. While many moments today are captured on your phone and through various social media venues, the moments captured by a professional photographer using professional equipment are beyond compare. Lauren was fantastic at picking the exact time of day for the best lighting at our venue and captured our mood perfectly. We are amazed at how our photos have turned out! How will we narrow down which ones to frame? We may need more wall space :). Thank you Lauren for a wonderful afternoon we can remember forever.“
