About me
Hello, I'm Lauren.
Mum of two free-spirited, wild boys who fuel my love for photography.
Documenting milestones and mundane day-to-day moments for those around me has always been a passion of mine and more recently I have been able to switch from the world of camera phones into life through the Sony lens.

Trust me, I know how much you want to hold on to every second

Time goes way too fast - we all know it, and we all say it, but until we give ourselves a chance to look back, we don't always appreciate it.
Over time, memories can fade which is why I believe capturing precious moments is so important.
Capturing the real and the raw is what is important to me - I'm much more of a bystander than a posing coach but can offer a little push in order to turn everyday moments into lifelong, treasured images. My sessions are always led and guided by you and your little ones.
FAQ
How many pictures will we receive?
The number of images you receive will depend on the package you choose. There are various package options you can choose:
Package 1: 3 digital downloads
Package 2: 6 digital downloads
Package 3: Full Gallery
With Packages 1 and 2 you have the option to purchase extra image downloads or the full gallery with no watermark. £10 per image download or the package can be upgraded to download the full album for an additional £149 (Package 1) or £110 (Package 2).
What’s the best time to have a session with a newborn?
My sessions are completely child-led, with minimal posing, so as soon as you are comfortable to be out and about then I am ready for you.
We can be completely led by little one's schedule, and if they need to stop and feed or have a nappy change then that's absolutely fine. Sleepy babies, awake babies - we'll get some stunning images.
What is your turn around time?
I make sure to tell all clients that it could take up to 3 weeks, however it is usually much sooner!
How far in advance do you take bookings?
My 2025 calendar is now open!
I always advise to book as soon as possible if you know you would like a session. For those wanting newborn/family sessions with babies who are not yet earthside, I will mark your due date in my diary and we'll select a date once little one has arrived.
How should we dress for our family session?
I will send out a style guide once you have booked, which has some helpful advice but the following should also be useful:
I want you to be the centre of focus in photos, so I encourage neutral coloured clothing, with no large logos. Earthy colours, rusts, creams, camels and browns look beautiful. Single block colours work the best but textures work wonderfully well too, like knits, linens and lace. Please consider, if you’d like to include some breast feeding images, a dress or top that you can easily feed from. You are welcome to bring along two outfits so one outfit can be for the nursing shots.
If family members don’t have clothing items in these colours, then just jeans/shorts and a single colour T will be fine, white or grey would be good. Finding plain T-shirts in the shops these days is a bit of a mission, so be sure to check Ebay, amazon, Asos etc.
Of course, if you don’t have anything remotely similar, then please do not worry. Ultimately these are your photographs and I want you to be comfortable and like what you are all wearing. These are just my suggestions of what would work well if you wanted guidance.
How do we get our photos?
You will receive all of your images via a digital gallery. If you purchased Package 1 or 2, or a Mini Session, your images will be watermarked and from your online gallery link, you will be able to select the images you wish to download or purchase extra downloads from the store. If you purchased Package 3, you will be able to download all of your images. Via this link, you will also have access to the store from which you can order printed copies of your images.
Do you travel?
Yes! I will happily travel for outdoor sessions. I love to find new spots to shoot at, however, locations outside of my normal Warwickshire locations will incur a mileage fee.
Do you edit the images?
I edit and enhance the images in terms of lighting and colours, but I do not edit faces,, bodies etc - embrace your beautiful!
