Maternity Photography in Alexandria, DC
Your journey to is one of the most
stories you’ll ever tell.
Motherhood
Meaningful
These are the moments you'll share with your child someday, the first chapter of their story
Years from now, curled up on the couch, your little one nestled beside you, flipping through an album filled with the quiet magic of these fleeting months. Or maybe, much later, when they’ve grown and gone, you find yourself turning the pages, remembering the way it felt to hold them before you even met them. These photos aren’t just for today; they are a love letter to the future—a tangible reminder of where your story together began.
Your journey to motherhood is one of the most meaningful stories you’ll ever tell. Through gentle guidance and a relaxed approach, I’ll help you feel at ease in front of the camera, allowing your love and joy to shine through. I encourage tender touches, soft whispers, and cozy pauses. I’ll gently guide you in ways that feel natural—like the quiet moments when you and your partner are lost in thought, dreaming about the little life growing inside you.
Whether you’re expecting your first baby or your last, with little ones already by your side or waiting to meet their sibling, it would be my honor to be your DC Maternity Photographer.

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.
