Portland Metro family photographer: here to provide forever images that are a little mix of let them be free<\/em> and here\u2019s the one Grandma will love<\/em>. Booking year round affordable mini sessions for every budget and custom sessions for every dreamy PNW location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a mom of two boys, that means I get it when kids need time to warm up and that we all<\/span> have days when we don\u2019t want our photos taken. We don\u2019t always have to smile but I\u2019m not above getting a little silly or recruiting parents to do a dance behind me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My goal for your extended custom session is to provide both nice posed images but also room and space for your family to express themselves. My mini sessions are the perfect fit for families who want “just one nice photo of us all together”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ready to gather your people + make memories together? Let’s get started, my goal is to make that the easiest part of your day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Look at the session options and pricing (mini sessions are booked online, custom sessions booked via email). <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    Pricing + Mini Sessions<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    2. I’ll send you a contract and invoice for a prepayment amount to reserve your session date and time. Once I’ve received those, your session is booked!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. I’m available to help with any questions and provide location ideas for your custom sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4. Your balance is due two days before your session, one last thing to remember the day of your shoot. After your session, I’ll deliver an online gallery 2-3 weeks after your session date. You can order prints, download included digital images* and share your link with family\/friends. These are yours to keep, share and print. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That’s it! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    *Mini sessions options are 5 digital images or all your edited images. Custom sessions always include all your edited images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cLauren has been taking our family photos for the past almost 7 years. I absolutely love looking back at how we\u2019ve all grown and changed and I\u2019m so grateful that my kids feel comfortable enough to be their goofy selves around her (this doesn\u2019t come easily to them and speaks to how wonderful she is!). Lauren is incredibly easy to communicate with, always has ideas of how to pose that turn out great and seems to get pictures back to us on a timeline that feels impossibly fast. We love Lauren!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    “Lauren is a fantastic photographer! We’ve used her multiple times. She’s calm, kind, and very skilled at working with all ages, including uncooperative toddlers! She also has a variety of beautiful locations for shoots. Lauren is our go-to photographer and I can’t recommend her highly enough.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
