“Our session was fun, but the best part was how Lauren had our album and wall-art designed for us. Selecting and receiving our beautiful print products was easy and they are GORGEOUS!” —Amanda B.

Hi! I'm Lauren

Family photography became my passion the day I lost my father right after we'd had a family session together. Those photos became instantly priceless. That moment changed everything about why I do this.

The kids call me 'that fun picture lady' and I'll take it. My job is to make photo sessions feel less like a photoshoot and more like a really good afternoon with your family.

My original muses were nature, architecture, and documenting life. This set the stage for the way I capture authentic photos of kids, pets, and families in an artistic yet natural way.

I'm originally from New Orleans, but I now live and work in the Spring, Tomball, Magnolia Texas triangle. Houston, especially North Houston, is full of outdoor landscapes perfect for family and senior photography.

I am committed to helping families across Houston turn their fleeting moments into forever memories with authentic photography and professional printing.

This is your Legacy in Print.

Let's create something special together!

“Lauren has a special talent for capturing beautiful family moments and bringing out individual personalities. We spent 90 minutes laughing, telling stories and having a blast. No awkward poses, just a really fun and relaxing session.” —Emily C.

MAKING FAMILY PHOTOTGRAPHY EASY FROM SHOOT TO PRINT

HOW IT WORKS

1. WE PLAN TOGETHER

I'll walk you through exactly what to wear, what to expect,

and which location fits your family's vibe. No Googling outfit

ideas at midnight. I've got you.

2. YOUR SESSION

I guide every pose and keep the energy fun and easy.

Even toddlers, teenagers, and the family dog will love it

Plan on laughing more than smiling.

3. YOUR ARTWORK

After your session, we'll design your wall art together.

I'll show you exactly how it'll look in your home before

you order a single thing. Then it shows up at your door,

ready to hang.

LOOKBOOK

Your family memories aren't just for scrolling

When you fill your home with printed family pictures, the story of your family surrounds you with memories. It’s not hidden on a hard drive.

WHY PRINTED ART?

Blink and your squishy little baby is walking. Blink again and they’re picking out their clothes for the first day of kindergarten … then high school … As moms, we snap so many photos with our phones. But when was the last time you sat down and scrolled through their newborn pictures?

These images mean so much right now, but just imagine how much they’ll mean when that little person who is your whole life is grown? Or, oh Lordy, how much it’ll mean to them to hold these images of you someday.

And that right there is why I work so hard to help families like yours choose heirloom-quality art that will last.
