Imagine this—years from now, you’re curled up on the couch with your little one, flipping through a beautiful album filled with the milestones of their first year. She points at a photo and asks, “Was that really me?” and you smile, remembering the tiny kicks, the sleepy newborn days, and those wobbly first steps.
With the Membership, everything is taken care of. No stress about scheduling, no last-minute rush to capture milestones. From pregnancy to first birthday, your family’s journey is thoughtfully documented, so you can simply enjoy the moments, knowing they’ll be preserved for a lifetime.

From to First
I believe in capturing more than just moments—I’m here to document your family’s growth and the beautiful milestones of your little one’s first year. With the Membership, we’ll form a lasting relationship over three sessions—each one a unique chapter in your journey. From the anticipation of pregnancy to the wonder of newborn days and the joy of your baby’s first year, I’ll be there every step of the way, ensuring we preserve not just pictures, but the heart of these fleeting moments. Watching your baby grow and helping you preserve these milestones is truly an honor, and I can’t wait to be part of this special journey with you.

Your Experience
- Danielle
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...
- Allyson
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!
- Bridget
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!
