Motherhood
NJ Maternity & Newborn Photographer
You deserve to feel seen, celebrated, and cared for during this season of life.
Whether you're documenting your growing bump, welcoming your newborn, or preserving those first sweet weeks as a family, my goal is to create a relaxed and heartfelt experience that allows you to simply be present. You're welcome to include your partner, older children, or keep things intimate and focused on you and your baby. The best images come from genuine connection, quiet snuggles, and the moments that unfold naturally.
I've poured my heart into building a process that helps South Jersey moms feel completely at ease in front of the camera. From planning and styling to gentle guidance during your session, I'll be there every step of the way. My hope is that your photos feel honest, emotional, and true to this chapter of your story, capturing the little details and connections you'll want to remember long after this season has passed.
Growing a human deserves a round of applause

“I’m not used to being on this side of the camera, but these photos? They see me. They see him. They see us - exactly as we are. Unfiltered, unposed, honest. The way he looks at me. The way I instinctively reach for him. The kind of everyday magic that usually slips by unnoticed”

“What an easy, five star review to write!! Lauren drove nearly 2 hours to capture the most beautiful photos of my family. She is so kind and patient, and great at what she does; her artistic talent is seriously amazing. When it feels like chaos, she makes it look fun — and just perfect.”

“Lauren took pictures of me, my daughter, and my mother that I will cherish forever! She was so personable and kind and made the entire experience so much fun. Not to mention how beautiful her work is! I'm so beyond happy with my session with her and the wonderful pictures I will have forever.”
Don’t we all hate when Mother Nature tries to ruin our plans? No worries — if weather gets in the way, we’ll reschedule for the next available date. Just a heads up, I don’t reschedule for wind or cloudy skies — some of my favorite sessions happen on those moody days!
What happens if the weather is bad?

What a great question! Every session includes full access to my client closet, with sizes ranging from XS–4X.
Not feeling anything from the collection? No problem — you’ll also receive a beautifully curated style guide to help you plan outfits that photograph beautifully and feel true to you.
Lauren, what if I don't know what to wear?!?!?!?

If this is your first baby, it can be hard to know exactly when you’ll start to show — or when you’ll still feel like you and not just an incubator (ha!). I typically recommend scheduling your South Jersey maternity session between 28–32 weeks, but truly, it’s all about what feels right for you.
If this isn’t your first rodeo and you start showing earlier, we’ll plan your session a bit sooner to make sure you’re feeling your best and comfortable in front of the camera. Every pregnancy is different — and that’s what makes your story so special.
When should I book my maternity sessions for?
05.
Newborn sessions should be booked as soon as you feel comfortable reaching out — typically toward the end of your second trimester or early in your third. As a South Jersey newborn photographer, my availability shifts with the seasons, so reserving your spot early ensures you’re on my calendar.
When it comes to the actual session, I recommend scheduling it for around two weeks after birth — once you’ve had a little time to settle in at home and adjust to your new rhythm. This sweet spot allows me to capture those dreamy, sleepy moments while you feel more grounded and comfortable.
