Hawkesbury Newborn & Maternity Photographer
Congratulations!
This is probably the most exciting time in our lives. A new baby is exciting, scary and wonderful all rolled into one. It deserves to be captured in a relaxed way that truly represents you in the moment. It all goes by so fast, so make sure you have these special images to show them as they grow, but mostly so you remember all those small details that get forgotten in the crazy chaos of life.
I am super relaxed and don’t worry, I will guide you along the way! Once you book in I will send you some super helpful tips on what to wear and how to prepare. There is no awkward posing, no forced smiles - just little prompts and gentle direction to help you connect, laugh, and create those gorgeous, love-filled moments with your family. You focus on each other, and I'll take care of the rest!
My pricing below is all inclusive. No hidden costs, just beautiful photos and a relaxed experience. With an all-inclusive session, you get the shoot, all your best images fully edited, and the freedom to print and share however you like. No tough choices, no extra fees - just real, meaningful moments captured without the pressure.

FAQ

I love to do newborn sessions in the first 3 weeks of bubs life if at all possible. This is when they will usually be most sleepy but if it falls outside this period that is also totally fine. Maternity sessions are great between 32-36 weeks when you are nice and big but not at full on waddle yet haha!
I can book you in any time after your 12 week scan.

Well lucky for you I have put together a bit of a guide on outfit choice for our session! Have a look at that info here

I don’t have a Studio but I do offer my home as an option if you don’t feel your home would be photo ready. Just ask for more info!

Don’t stress! Reschedules are all part of it when you work outdoors and with kids. If someone is sick leading up to the session or the day of, just let me know and we can arrange a new time for the shoot. With respect to the weather, I will be in contact the week leading up and believe me when I say I am ALWAYS on the weather app! If I think we need to reschedule I will reach out.

Kids are kids. You can only do so much and the best way to ensure their co-operation is to roll with whatever they want to do. All the normal rules fly out the window. Embrace their personalities and behaviour. I am more than likely getting sneaky smiles when you aren’t watching. If you get upset with them it is only going to make them act out more or refuse what we are asking of them. Shower them with cuddles and love and enjoy being present with them for the time we are together, that is where the magic is.

Honestly I would say 90% of my clients come to me saying that either they or their partner doesn’t like photos. I can assure you they all leave saying that the session was much more fun than expected. It really is more about having a chat and getting to know each other. I have lots of tricks up my sleeve for making people feel comfortable and not on show. It does help though if everyone comes in with a positive attitude ready to embrace and have some fun.

I do require a depsoit to hold your date in my calendar. There is a flat $50 deposit for all sessions except weddings where I take 10%. The balance for all sessions is due the date of the session.

“Lauren was flexible with the date when our bub was born early and she made us feel really comfortable on the day”
Lauren was amazing!! From the start communication was prompt, Lauren was flexible with the date when our bub was born early and she made us feel really comfortable on the day.
We received the photos within 2 weeks and they are beautiful! Pricing is also very reasonable in comparison with a lot of other photographers. Would definitely recommend! -

Lauren has photographed both our children and our family for our newborn shoots, she is fantastic with newborns and toddlers, the photos we’ve received of our family are perfect. We can’t thank her enough for capturing our family in the most beautiful, relaxed way.

“No words can describe how happy we were that we chose to go with Lauren”
We recently had our newborn shoot with Lauren. No words can describe how happy we were that we chose to go with Lauren. Not only are our photos beautiful but Lauren’s approach was excellent with our 8 week old son. She was so gentle and nurturing with him and was able to capture such beautiful photos. We can’t recommend Lauren enough. If you are looking at capturing precious memories with your children Lauren is the person for you!

"from the moment she stepped into our home I knew we had made the right choice"
We recently engaged Lauren's services for a newborn session with our little family and from the moment she stepped into our home I knew we had made the right choice. She was relaxed, professional, great with our preschooler and newborn, nice to chat to, made the whole morning a lovely experience, and most importantly the photos are to die for and we couldn't be happier with the end result.
Lauren truely is an amazing photographer and I would book with her again in a heartbeat.
Thank you so much Lauren!
