Newborn and Family Photographer
in Northern Virginia
For mothers who wish to pause time before it slips away
Time is fleeting...
From tiny toes to first steps, first words, and even the first tooth—your little one is growing and changing in the blink of an eye. While we can't pause time, we can hold on to these fleeting moments in a way that lasts forever.
hold onto the moments that matter
I preserve the gentle touch of tiny fingers and the way your little ones look up at you with pure love—so you can treasure them for years to come.
I'm Lauren
your Alexandria family photographer
With nearly a decade of experience teaching and working with children, I’ve spent years fostering patience, creating a relaxed environment, and letting children lead the way—all of which shape how I approach photography. I believe the best moments happen naturally, and I strive to make every session feel easy and joyful for your family. When I’m not teaching or behind the camera, you’ll find me wandering the streets of Old Town Alexandria with an ice cream cone or spending time with my two dogs, Marlowe and Pearl. Based in Alexandria, Virginia, I specialize in photographing maternity, newborn and families across the DC metro area.
My promise to you
to create heartfelt, timeless images you'll treasure for years to come
Who dance barefoot in their living rooms, then snuggle up on the couch, reading bedtime stories.
Who hold their baby’s tiny hand with awe and wonder and chase their giggling toddlers through fields of golden sunlight.
Who cherish the sweet chaos, and beautiful moments of their lives together.
are the ones....

Lauren was absolutely incredible at capturing our family's memories this summer! Her patience and kindness with my 13-month-old daughter made the photo session a breeze. We're so grateful for the beautiful photos she took, especially the ones of our daughter pointing out where her baby sister would be. These will be cherished treasures for years to come. I highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a talented and caring photographer!!
These will be cherished treasures...

Lauren is the best! She first took couple’s photos of my husband and me. We loved the photos so much we booked her again for a maternity shoot. When our son was born we did a newborn session with her. Most recently she took family pictures of us that we ended up using for our holiday cards. She is also a full time teacher so she is great with kids! Cannot recommend enough. Can’t wait for our next session with her.
She is great with kids!

Lauren took our maternity photos and my husband and I absolutely love how they turned out! Lauren was easy to work with and she knew exactly where to go in Old Town Alexandria for different photo locations. The photo prints also turned out beautiful! We’re so glad to have these moments captured during a special time.
A memory that will last!
Imagine walking past that stunning piece of wall art every morning, seeing your family's joy reflected back at you.
Between diapers, appointments, and the constant hustle of everyday life, I understand how easily printing your photos can slip to the bottom of the to-do list.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. Let me take that one task off your plate.
Whether it's a stunning piece of wall art that brightens your home or a meticulously crafted album that tells your unique story, I handle every aspect with care and dedication, ensuring your memories are timelessly captured.
My commitment is to preserve these moments, so even as life rushes by, you’ll have tangible keepsakes—matted prints, wall art, and albums—that you and your children can cherish and revisit for years to come..
