Authentic Family Photography in Austin

Text that reads 'Beyond What You See & Beyond' with 'and beyond' in cursive, over a black background.

A fun and laid back experience for families showing up exactly as they are.

I’m here to celebrate the real you, in all stages of life. Even the chaotic ones.

the Family experience

A client once warned me, “my kids are crazy.”

I said, “challenge accepted.”

If your family is still in the “littles” phase and you really want beautiful photos but you’re stressed about the photoshoot itself, please don’t fret. Kids are unpredictable and I am never here to judge.

What I WILL DO:

Create a fun environment, encourage your family to be themselves and allow your kids to take the lead when needed. They can cry, run, jump, play with toys or even take a snack break. I’m here for anything.

the Family Session

$600 + tax

includes:

Up to 75min of session time because sometimes it takes a little bit to warm-up and I don’t want anyone to feel rushed.
40+ images in an online digital gallery with printing rights.
Unlimited guidance and help with creative planning. I’m here to send questionnaires if needed and help with locations, outfits, moodboards and more.

“Working with Lauren is more than just a photoshoot

it's an experience full of laughter, friendship, and encouragement. It's an experience of a lifetime.”

the lp process:

To make it official, a signed contract and full payment is required to secure your date.
Sometimes people hire me knowing exactly what they want, and that’s awesome! If not, I’m here to help clarify the vision. A week out, I will send you a confirmation email and all my best tips to help you feel prepared.
Three weeks later, you’ll receive your final gallery to download, share and print. :)

Questions? I’ve got you.

Portrait sessions have a turnaround time of 3 weeks. Sometimes seasons get crazy, if I ever feel like it might be delayed I will always let you know.
All galleries include basic retouching, such as removing blemishes and enhancing colors to reflect the magic of the session. I do not alter people’s bodies (because your body is beautiful just the way it is — lumps and bumps included). If you’d like extensive photoshopping that surpasses my skills, I can arrange for an expert to edit your images for an additional fee. In order to protect the integrity of my work, no, I do not distribute unedited image files.
The standard portrait session usually allows for 2 outfits. Depending on location choice(s) and time of day, sometimes we are able to fit in more than one. If travel time is more than 15min, we will need to add on time to your session.
