Choose between a 15-minute Holiday Mini (~15 images), a 30-minute Session (~40 images + 3 retouched), or a 1-hour Session (~80 images + 5 retouched). All sessions come with light editing, with additional retouching available if needed. Minis are held on set dates with limited spots, while half and full sessions are scheduled directly with Lauren. Travel rates may apply. 

Capturing moments for you to cherish FOREVER.

"We had such a great time with Lauren

It really was a fun shoot, and we’re so happy with how everything turned out. It was a first time for me, but you made me feel so comfortable, and the photos reflect that."

"We are all so thrilled with all of the photos! 

I can’t believe how many great ones there are of all of us! You are so talented. Not only do we get to enjoy these photos forever, but we had such a fun time with you and get to enjoy those memories too!"

"Lauren… You captured her brilliantly!

You can tell she has been looking forward to this session with you for a long, long time. I wish we had more girls to enjoy more First Communion pics. As this was our last, it matched the magic and joy of the previous ones…and perhaps added a bit more. Thank you!!!"

"Lauren is such a pleasure to work with. 

Over the years she has captured many special moments for my family with such grace and an obvious passion for her art. She pays special attention to details that makes every photo come to life!"

What is the basis for your pricing?

I believe everyone deserves beautiful, meaningful photos without feeling like it’s out of reach. My pricing is designed so families can invest in photos year after year — for all of life’s milestones. I don’t believe the cost should ever hold you back from capturing the magic of your story.

What time of day do sessions take place?

Most outdoor sessions happen early in the morning or during golden hour — when the light is soft, warm, and dreamy. For in-home sessions, mid-day light often works beautifully. Together we’ll choose the best time and place for the look you love.

What is your cancellation policy?

I completely understand that life happens. That said, cancellations or reschedules made less than 48 hours before your session will result in a 50% non-refundable charge.

What if we’re running late?

Because I often photograph multiple families in one day and rely on natural light, I do have to honor the schedule. If you arrive late, we will start when you arrive and still finish at the originally scheduled time.  

What happens if it rains?

While I actually love a little mist and cloud cover, I can’t control Mother Nature. If it rains, I’ll reschedule your session to another date that works for both of us — always doing my best to get you back on the calendar quickly.

Why do you only shoot at certain locations?

After more than a decade behind the camera, I know which spots photograph best. I also try to keep costs down by choosing locations that don’t require pricey permits. If you’d love a location outside of my list, I’m happy to make it happen — but additional permit fees may apply.

What if I’ve had photos taken at one of these locations before?

That’s wonderful! Even if you’ve visited the same spot before, your story has grown and changed—your kids are older, your family dynamic is different, and new memories are waiting to be made. The location sets the scene, but it’s the people in the frame that make the photograph truly special. Each session is a fresh opportunity to capture the magic of who you are right now.

Do you offer retouching?

  • Mini sessions: no retouching included
  • 30-minute sessions: 3 retouched images
  • 60-minute sessions: 5 retouched images
  • Additional retouching is $25/image.
  • Black & white conversions are $10/image or $100 for your entire gallery.

When will we be able to view our photos?

You’ll receive your finished gallery within 7–10 business days — because I know how exciting it is to see your images right away.
