Pre-Session Planning

A family of four enjoys a morning at home during their newborn photo shoot in Winston-Salem.

I am available (and excited) to help you plan your session.  My goal is for the photos to capture the true essence of your family.  I will send you a prep guide that discusses tips for the session and includes inspiration for clothing options.  We will discuss the lighting in your home to best plan for the day of the session.

Day of Session

Mom rocks her baby in the nursery at their Winston-Salem home.

I want this to be a fun experience for your family - not just a check mark for having family photos made for the year.  When I arrive, you will give me a tour of your home, and we will mainly utilize the spaces that receive the best light.  I will guide you into a flattering position and then encourage natural interaction to showcase the love of your family.

Gallery Delivery

A collection of family photo prints and framed photographs arranged on a white surface showing tender family moments.

Within 2 weeks, you will receive a slideshow and watch the story of your family unfold as you view your gallery of images.  You will select a collection to purchase that includes a combination of digital images and print credit to use in the online store.  We will work together to choose and design your art.  Enjoy!

The Patterson Family


"Lauren was great and made us feel at ease with our two little ones. Having two of her own, she is well experienced photographing kids and our toddler immediately took to her, which made for great natural photos."

During a newborn session, my goal is to create a space where you can simply embrace the beauty of being a mom. While you enjoy these precious moments with your little one, I’ll take care of capturing every meaningful detail—from the baby’s tiny features to the warmth of the nursery, and the interactions with siblings and pets. This time is all about you and your growing family, and I’m here to preserve the love and tenderness in these early days without any added stress, allowing you to be fully present.
