CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU SOON!
I'm Lauren - mama of 2, Wife, Small Biz owner, foodie, & Lover of Athens, GA
As a University of Georgia grad, my husband & I spent our first few years of marriage in Athens - him studying day and night as a medical student and me serving brands big & small as a public relations professional while building a photography business.
After spending 5 years away during medical residency, photographing all over Georgia and the Southeast, and welcoming two sweet boys into our family, we now call the Classic City home & I'm so honored to capture memories for so many of our friends here - new and old.
Every fall (and sometimes in between!) we capture milestones and memories big and small through mini sessions - on UGA's North Campus and Founder's Garden, and this year at new locations throughout the Athens area that allow for classic backgrounds that let you shine. I love seeing your life story through photos.
It means the world to get to capture families year over year and watch your kids grow right before my lens. If you're new here, I can't wait to get to meet you. Take a peek around to get an idea of what's in store for Mini Sessions this year and book early, as spots go fast!
Because, I believe our stories matter. Your story matters.

"I love having family pictures but have always had anxiety/stress over preparing for them. The mini session felt like something I could handle, so I went for it. It was perfect!
Lauren is such a genius... she made it look like we prepped for days and took pics for hours without having to do either...
it was the PERFECT way to capture our family!"

"I can not recommend Lauren enough!! On numerous occasions, she’s been able to capture incredible images of our family in such a short amount of time, and she always manages to make sessions fun and comfortable.
I’m also so amazed every time at how quickly she edits and returns the galleries.
11/10 recommend!"
