I cannot say enough good things about working with Lauren and her team for my modern maternity shoot. I was 32 weeks pregnant and had not been feeling the best about myself but she and her team somehow made me feel more glamorous and beautiful than ever. One of her hair and makeup artists, Nadia, did my hair and makeup for the shoot and it was the best my hair and makeup has ever looked. Lauren worked with me to decide on outfits prior to our shoot and helped me with posing during, both of which I was a little nervous about.... read more

Can't recommend enough! This is something I've been wanting to do for years, and I'm so glad I found the right person and place to make it the best experience I could have hoped for.

Working with Lauren (and hair and makeup) was an absolute joy. It was a really empowering and fun way to spend the day as a newer mom. It made me feel sexy again and the results were stunning!

I had such an amazing and life changing experience working with Lauren. She is so down to earth, friendly and professional. I felt completely comfortable with her and I was completely blown away when I received my photographs. WOW! She is a true expert when it comes to boudoir and capturing women in stunning portraiture. If you're in the market for boudoir / woman empowerment photos, don't hesitate or give it a second thought. You're found her - book her NOW! You won't regret it one bit.

This was the most fun & empowering experience and I've never felt sexier. I felt pretty awkward at the beginning because I've never done something like this before but Lauren gave good directions and made me feel super comfortable-- we were laughing and having a great time the whole time and I think that totally translated in the photos! As a SAHM I never feel glamorous these days but after the awesome Hair & Makeup, I felt like a super model. The photos turned out better than I could have imagined & I will treasure them for... read more
