LAUREN

My Self Love Journey

I’m Lauren and it’s so wonderful to see you. Let me give you a peek into my life as a mum, adventurer, photographer + peanut butter & coffee addict.

I love being able to meet amazing families and build life long friendships whilst capturing incredible memories for them. It’s an honour to be entrusted with that secret ‘glimpse’ into their lives.

My passion is to get “the perfect shot” and guess what…  I always get it. I want every family to feel as happy as I do about their photo shoot. If when you see your photographs for the first time you crack a smile or a wee tear in the corner of your eye then I have done my job.

’m a mum of two beautiful little munchkins, Piper & Patterson.

I found out a couple of weeks before my wedding day that we were going to have a baby and we were SO excited! Keeping it a secret was really hard, especially during our wedding speeches, I nearly blurted it out.

At 29 weeks, I had this feeling that something wasn’t quite right. Sure enough mothers intuition was correct. Piper had stopped growing and I was advised that it would be best to deliver her early.

Everyday for the next 4 weeks I had daily monitoring until we hit 34 weeks and specialists said that she would be healthier out than in. I only had the tiniest amount of fluid left around her face. She was born via C-section whilst listening to Michael Jackson & visualising I was scuba diving. Ok ok.. let me explain 🙂 I felt so yucky during the procedure with motion sickness I had to take my mind to a memory where I was feeling the same feeling but it was a positive experience… so insert back diving in Tahiti with black tip reef sharks! I know I’m weird!
