More about Lauren S....
What do you love about your job?
I love being a part of special moments for people because it benefits both sides: my clients get beautiful memories that last forever, and I get to live new experiences I may not otherwise get the opportunity to partake. Each shoot is so unique and offers opportunities for growth and connection.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
I have a lot of experience doing graduation shoots. I always encourage my clients to tailor their shoot to best represent their experience at school: where on campus did they spend the most time or have meaningful moments? What items best represent the experiences they had? I periodically check in with them throughout the shoot to make sure the look we're capturing is on par with what they want, and make any necessary adjustments. I have also done a lot of event photography. With events, I like to discuss with my contact beforehand what their needs are and make sure I'm fulfilling them come event time. I will match the energy of the room and encourage people to have fun and be candid.
