“I think the most important thing you can do in a photograph or in photography is to evoke emotion, to make people cry or laugh, or both at the same time.”
Hello! I'm Lauren, a French newborn, baby, and children’s photographer in Helsinki and surroundings areas.
I hail from a city near Paris and have lived in seven different French cities before making my way to beautiful Finland. Now, I reside near Helsinki with my wonderful family—two energetic boys and one lively girl. Yes, I totally understand how challenging it can be to photograph excited children! They are actually my inspiration for diving into my true passion: photography.
Before I embarked on this journey, I was a French teacher. It turns out that the beginning of a baby’s life, and the incredible growth of children, are among the most beautiful and fleeting moments. Capturing these precious memories for parents is something I’m incredibly proud of.
Fun and useless facts about me!!!
Passions: Traveling and doing puzzles. Seriously, I can get lost in a good puzzle for hours—it's like my version of a mental vacation!
Favorite Sport: Handball. It's fast, it's exciting, and it’s the perfect way to work off all that raclette I love to eat!
Favorite Dish: Raclette, a delicious Swiss specialty (not French!!!!) involving melted cheese. If you haven't tried it, you're missing out on a life-changing culinary experience :)!!!
My Dream: To see all seven wonders of the world. I’m a bit of a dreamer, and there’s just something magical about ticking off each wonder from my bucket list.
Photography: I’m all about the subtle moments. I love capturing the implicit, those quiet, beautiful instances that might otherwise go unnoticed. It’s the hidden gems in a photograph that truly tell a story.
I’m all about finding the perfect lighting, the sweetest interactions, and those genuine, happy moments that happen naturally. My obsession is with capturing the most authentic, emotive pictures that will warm your heart and become cherished heirlooms.
I have standard pricing, but if you have specific ideas or requests, let me know! I love a creative challenge and will do my best to provide a custom quote to fulfill your wishes. For me, being a photographer is all about keeping an open mind and constantly re-inventing my approach. So, don’t hesitate to share even your most imaginative ideas!
Photography and Me
For as long as I can remember, photography has always been a part of my life. I've always been the one taking pictures of family gatherings, vacations, and everyday moments. Capturing the beauty and emotion in those small, fleeting moments has always brought me joy and a sense of fulfillment.
Over the years, my passion for photography has only grown stronger. I’ve experimented with different styles and techniques, always striving to improve and find new ways to tell a story through my lens. Whether it’s the innocent smile of a newborn, the loving interaction between family members, or the candid laughter of children at play, I aim to capture those genuine, heartfelt moments that truly reflect the essence of my subjects.
Photography is more than just a hobby for me; I’ve always placed great importance on preserving memories, which is why my living room is filled with photo albums. These albums are not just collections of pictures; they are a legacy, a way to preserve my memories and pass them down to my children.. Each photo tells a unique story and holds a special place in time.
I am grateful for the opportunity to turn this passion into a profession, allowing me to share my love for photography with others and help them cherish their own special moments.
