INFORMATION
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
should i choose a 60 or 40 minute session?
WHat time is my session?
The location is up to you! Locations within 30 miles from me are included in your session fee. I have a number of spots I recommend depending on your vision.
For locations further than 30 miles, there is an additional fee. Please contact me regarding sessions requiring travel.
do you offer mini sessions?
There are a few things to consider when choosing a session length. For families with young children, a 60 minute session is ideal because we don't have to rush! We have more time to capture your child's true personality, allow them to explore and be playful. Families with older or adult children will find a 40 minute session is sufficient. If you'd like to do any outfit changes, a 60 minute session is recommended.
Deep, rich, or neutral colors work best for my style of editing. Dark teal, olive or deep emerald green, rust, burgundy, earthy browns, taupe. Please see the color palette below for inspiration. I recommend avoiding bright white, red, royal blue, and yellow. Textures are encouraged!
It is best to dress everyone in coordinating, not matching colors. This way you don't blend together, but compliment each other.
The client closet is included in your session fee and includes dresses size XS-XXXL along with a few options for children as well. Please see the gallery below for examples of available options.
Yes! Throughout the year I offer mini sessions. Typically these are outdoors, and sometimes in a studio. The best way to be informed about mini sessions is to follow me on Instagram and have notifications turned on for my stories. This is where I announce minis.
I also offer mini sessions for those who are on a budget. Mini sessions must be back to back with another session, so typically these are scheduled before another client's full session. The location is determined by the client booking the full session, and is subject to change based on their preferences. Please contact me if you love my work but cannot afford a full session. I believe everyone deserves beautiful, high quality images. I can work with almost any budget by adjusting the session time and number of finished photos to be delivered.
Golden hour (before sunset) is my favorite time for sessions. The exact time will depend on the location and when the sun sets on your session date.

where will my session be?
Lauren with Sun & Fern Photography is always my number one choice, she's taken photos for my family and I over the years. I am forever grateful for these beautiful memories she has captured! She is so friendly and makes you feel so comfortable from sunrise to sunset. Most recently I was a part of her "Sacred Session" where she was able to make me love my body all over again after two perfect babies. Watching her grow as a photographer the last 7 years has been such a gift and to see it in my own pictures is amazing.

Lauren is a true talent and a joy to work with. She sincerely connects with her subjects, especially children, resulting in genuine expression in photos. She’s lightning fast on the shutter and brilliant in editing — after a session that I thought might be a total fail due to non-cooperation and less-than-ideal lighting, she magically returned a gallery full of stunning images. Simply cannot recommend her enough.

Lauren's Sacred Session offer was such an amazing experience for me. I went into the session feeling pretty down about myself and body that day but left the session feeling empowered and safe to be in my imperfectly perfect body. They truly are pictures that I will cherish forever. And they are a reminder that we are truly beautiful and sacred even in our hardest times.

My family had the pleasure of working with Lauren and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the initial consultation to the final delivery of photos, Lauren displayed exceptional professionalism and creativity.
I highly recommend Sun and Fern Photography to anyone looking for a talented and dedicated photographer. Their skill, patience, and passion for their craft are evident in every shot. Thank you for capturing such special memories for our family!
