Authentic Portrait Photography in Austin

For graduating Seniors, showcasing your brand, celebrating a milestone or just because!

I’m ready to document the real you, in all seasons of life.

the Portrait experience

For bold people doing whatever the hell they want to in Austin and beyond.

You’re here because you would like some nice photos of yourself —sure, I can totally do that.

But you also want to have fun and express the real you. It would be my honor to collaborate and help bring your vision to life.

the Portrait 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.

    (note: this usually allows for 2 outfits).

  • 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.

I need this

a la carte:

Additional time - $275/hr In case you prefer extra looks or locations, adding on time is also an option.

Travel Fee - 1+ hour drive outside of Austin will incur a travel fee of $.67/mile.

High Priority Editing - $500 if you need photos delivered quicker than my standard 3 week turnaround.

“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. I can send over a questionnaire, moodboards, etc to help clarify the vision for your session. 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 or some people like to add and subtract accessories to create a quick variety of looks. 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.
