Hi, I’m Lauren — photographer, mama, and lover of the in-between moments.
—
You’ll usually find me chasing light, capturing connection, and telling stories through candid, heartfelt imagery. I’m not about stiff poses — I’m drawn to the real stuff: giggles, wild toddler hair, tiny hands, messy kisses, and that deep, quiet love that lives in everyday life.
Motherhood cracked me wide open. After years of infertility, I’m now soaking in the beautiful chaos of life with my two boys and our pups. Becoming a mom shifted everything — including how I see the world through my lens. Now, I shoot with more intention, focused on documenting the details that matter most.
When I’m not photographing families, I’m exploring new places, snuggling dogs, sipping tea, or exploring the beautiful Costa Brava with my kids. I’m part old soul, part wild spirit — and always honored to be trusted with your memories.
Let’s make something beautiful together.
HEAR WHAT PAST CLIENTS ARE SAYING
I 1000% recommend booking family photos with Lauren, especially if you are on a vacation and want to remember some authentic moments from your trip. Lauren quickly worked to establish a relationship with myself and my family and created a warm environment for photos. Her focus was more documentary-style images and fewer posed ones. This worked well for my busy 2 and 4 year old daughters who prefer to run, jump, splash, and cuddle than to stand and smile at the camera. My favourite memories of my trip to the Costa Brava was our evening walks and that we were able to schedule photos during one of those walks is so special. I am thrilled with the gallery she delivered and will be printing the photos from my home and to share with family. As a mom, it's tough to put down the daypack, the stroller, the camera, etc. and get in a few photos; Lauren took that responsibility off my plate and now I have some wonderful family photos, and "proof of Mom."-Claire
“I’m still amazed how Lauren made it look so easy and yet the results are so incredible. At any point we felt awkward, on the contrary, we had a really nice family evening. And in between kids and the usual caos, she got some of the most heart warming pictures I have seen of my family. Plus we really appreciated the recommendations she gave previous to the session and her availability when we had questions, it really helped! I can’t thank you enough and I hope to see you again soon.”- Odette
“Lauren was able to tame two crazy toddlers in a way I never thought possible! She not only got great family photos but truly captured my kids personalities in her images. Finally found our family photographer!” -Nicole
“We have now booked three family sessions with Lauren and each time she DELIVERS! Can’t wait to get these framed and on the wall.”- Amy
“Where do I begin!? Lauren has become such a special person to my family not only through her work in photography but for who she is. Her ability to bring out the fun, silly, and joyful moments and then capturing them with her camera is truly remarkable. Lauren has documented my engagement, my wedding, maternity with my rainbow baby, and my daughter’s newborn photos - all perfectly documented photographs that I will forever cherish. You hire Lauren for her portfolio, but you keep coming back to be around her warm spirit. 🫶🏼 Costa Brava Photography is a 10 out of 10!” — Jessica
“We had the absolute best experience with Lauren! From the moment we arrived, she made our whole family feel completely at ease—even the camera-shy ones. Her calming, friendly energy turned what could have been a stressful shoot into something genuinely fun and relaxed.
What truly stood out was her ability to capture the little moments—the laughs, glances, and genuine connections—without ever feeling posed or forced. The photos weren’t just beautiful; they felt real.
By the end of the session, it honestly felt like we were hanging out with a longtime friend who just happened to be amazing with a camera. She has captured family photos, my wedding, and many more special events for my family!”-Rebecca
If you're looking for someone who brings out the best in your family and turns it into timeless memories, I can't recommend Lauren or Costa Brava Family Photography enough! 🫶🏻
“Words cannot express what an amazingly talented young woman Lauren is. However, what I find even better was how she jumped in and went above and beyond her job description. My daughter’s wedding day would not have run as smoothly without Lauren there. No matter where I live, she will be flown anywhere for my family’s photo needs. I love her!! Thanks girl! For ALL YOU DID!”— Jennifer
“We had a great time doing our family photos with Lauren! We had champagne on arrival and she had all kinds of goodies for us to snack on and had holiday music playing as well! Our photos turned out wonderful, she took ALOT of photos. There was 7 of us: our two kids and between them their 3 kids. Lauren was very patient with the kids and interacted very well with them and made them very comfortable! Thanks Lauren for doing such a great job with our family photos! We would highly recommend her!!” — Dottie
“Lauren took family photos for us in Cherry Creek State Park and she was fabulous to work with! We love our photos!”— Cindy
