Hi, I’m Lauren.

Birth is like a magnet for my soul.

I know its secret language, I understand its ebbs and flows. Its current.

I am fully aware of the honor and responsibility it is to be a quiet witness, a strong post to lean on and to show you your strength, beauty and love back to you.

Birth, transformation and redefining ones self has always been a part of my life, holding space and being a witness to these parts of life is just who I am.

I was born into a family of strong women. The youngest of 5 kids, (not saying I was an oops but…) I came along a little later than my siblings.

I was the happiest chubbiest little toddler there ever was, but sadness hit our family when my Dad passed away in an accident when I was 2.

Enter all those strong women.

It was just me and them. And then their partners. And then their babies. And I was just always there in the center, a part of all of it because I didn’t know how not to be.

I still don’t know how not to be, because birth is like a magnet for my soul.

I would love to be the one who supports you through this life changing experience.

 
 

– Philosophy–

[ A little about what i BELIEVE]

 
 
Jack's Newborn Session-40.jpg
 

I believe that love is love.

I believe that all families are beautiful, and deserve to be celebrated.

no matter what your family looks like, or how your babies came to you,

I am here to hold the space surrounding you and your family.

My life’s purpose is to create a protective bubble of love, healing, space,

and protection around every human I support, no matter your orientation, gender, race or religion.

NEWBORN AND FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY

Looking for newborn or family photos in your home?

I can help.

Every year I take a small number of family photography sessions in the Los Angeles area, these sessions are limited and are taken on a first come first serve basis, primarily by all the glorious mama bears I’ve had the privilege of supporting through birth photography and doula services over the years, but sometimes the perfect family sneaks in there in the most delightful of ways.

Reach out to see if your family might be the next perfect fit.
