Welcoming baby Riaan 🥰

There’s no need for extravagant props or overly styled setups when it comes to your newborn photos.

Sometimes all you need is your baby in your arms, their favourite little spot in the house, and the people who love them most.

The tiny stretches. The sleepy cuddles. The way they fit perfectly against your chest. That’s the magic of this season.

Simple, honest, beautiful memories you’ll treasure forever.

Some sessions just hit a little differently 🥹

I’ve known Zoe since my graphic designer days many, many years ago. She was my boss back then, and after all this time we’ve stayed the best of friends! So getting to capture these memories for her beautiful family felt incredibly special.

There’s something really emotional about photographing families in this season of life too. We prioritise photos when the kids are little, but having beautiful images with your adult children, their partners, your grandbabies, and maybe even your own parents still by your side… that is priceless 🙌

Extended family sessions are a slightly different vibe to my usual family shoots. We make sure we capture all those important combinations and memories you’ll treasure forever, but I promise there’s still lots of laughs, cuddles, chaos and fun along the way!

It’s the best, so many families message me afterwards saying it just felt really nice to spend that time together as a family, and something a little different.

And I couldn’t agree more, that these photos only become more valuable with time 🤍

If you’ve been thinking about booking an extended family session, or want to find out more please slide into my DM’s, I’m happy to chat anytime x

Happy belated Mother’s Day to all the beautiful Mamas out there 🥳

One of the greatest honours of my job is that every single week, I get invited into this incredibly intimate season of people’s lives. I meet new mums constantly, women who are giving absolutely everything of themselves to nurture, love, guide and hold their families together.

And while people often think my work is about the baby, or the children, or the family photos… to me, the Mama has always been at the centre of it all.
She is the life giver. The heartbeat of the family. The safe place. The memory maker. The one everyone comes back to.

Without her, none of this exists.

That’s why motherhood has always been the soul of my work. Capturing YOU in this season as it is right now. Because motherhood changes constantly. Every year feels different. The babies grow, the challenges shift, some things become easier while other things become much more complex. It’s the wildest, most beautiful, exhausting, emotional role any of us will ever have.

And yet so much of it goes unseen.

There’s not always thanks. There’s not always rest. There’s definitely not always silence 😂 But there is so much love.

I get to hear so many stories through this work too. Stories of pregnancy loss, difficult journeys to motherhood, relationship struggles, beautiful triumphs, resilience, chaos, healing, joy and heartbreak. Motherhood carries all of it. Every family has a story. Every mother has sacrificed parts of herself to build the life standing in front of her.

That’s my little gift to you through this work. To help you see what everyone else sees when they look at you.

You deserve to feel loved today and always.
Thank you for trusting me to tell these stories. It truly means the world.

All my love always,
Lauren x

I’m often asked… should we book our newborn session at home or in the studio?

The truth is, both are beautiful. It really just depends on your home, the kind of experience you want, and what feels easiest for you in this season.

An in-home newborn session might be for you if…
• Your home has beautiful natural light
• You love your home styling + space
• You love relaxed, documentary-style memories
• You don’t want to pack up and leave the house with a newborn
• You want to capture this season exactly where it’s unfolding

A studio newborn session might be for you if…
• Your home doesn’t get great natural light
• You want soft, dreamy, consistent photos
• You prefer a clean, timeless aesthetic
• You don’t want to stress about tidying your home
• You love the idea of simply arriving to everything ready for you
• You want a warm, calm, cosy experience designed specifically for new parents

I actually created my Earlwood studio for exactly this reason 🤍 A beautiful, welcoming space where new parents can walk in, breathe out, and just enjoy the experience without worrying about lighting, space, or setup.

Whichever option you choose, you’re in good hands. You can truly just sit back, relax, feed and cuddle your baby while I gently guide the session and bring everything we need for both mum and baby. My goal is always to create a calm, easy experience and capture beautiful memories of this incredible season of your life!

🎈 What did you do to celebrate your little one’s first birthday?

A big party, or something small at home? Because truely … how has it been a whole YEAR already?! 😭

I’ve been LOVING these sessions lately. We start with a relaxed sunset family shoot, lots of cuddles, laughs, and of course a toddler running the show (as they do)… and then we finish with cake. And I mean CAKE! Icing everywhere, tiny hands, questionable life choices… pure yummy chaos in the best way 🤣

You get those beautiful, natural family memories AND a little cake smash all in one. The perfect way to celebrate everything you’ve been through this past year… from those sleepy newborn days, which somehow feel like last month and a lifetime ago… to this cheeky, cake-covered little human with a whole personality!

These milestone sessions are so special. A little celebration of growth, love, family and survival 😉… and just how quickly it all changes!

Want to know more about birthday milestone sessions? DM me CAKE and I’ll send you all the details x

These dreamy moments captured in my Earlwood studio 🌿

A space designed to feel calm, warm and beautifully light-filled… like home, but without the stress.

No rushing to tidy. No worrying about dark rooms or clutter in the background.

Just pack your baby bag and walk in.
Everything is ready for you.
Wraps, outfits, soft neutral textures and the most beautiful, consistent light so your images feel timeless and cohesive.

It’s an easy, gentle place to land in those early days… where you can slow down, settle in, and simply soak it all up while I capture it for you 😚

The journey to their second little love 🥰

There’s nothing better than being welcomed back to document your family as you grow. It only feels like yesterday I met this gorgeous couple on the beach as their journey to parenthood was just beginning…

And now it’s a full circle moment, seeing them again as they prepare to meet their second little one! Cannot wait to meet the gorgeous baby in this perfect bump soon 🙌

All my love x

Such a stunning night for the loveliest family. Updating their family photos has been on their to-do list since their youngest was born 9 years ago! I’m so glad they got around to this, the most special of memories 🤍

With a moody, overcast sky wrapping everything in rich, dreamy tones, this beautiful crew showed up with so much warmth and connection. These beautiful sisters absolutely adored their parents… and their sweet pup too 🐾

Proof that your kids are never too old for family photos. These moments only get better 🥰

We explored, we laughed, and even handed over the Polaroid for a little role reversal… capturing each other in such a sweet way. The kind of memories that feel just as special as the photos themselves ✨
