Laurie Jean & Rose bio picture

  • Hi, and welcome to Laurie Jean & Rose. My name is Lauren, and I have been photographing newborns since 2010 in the NW Atlanta area and all over! My love affair with newborn photography began shortly after the birth of my youngest son, when I missed the window for my son’s sleepy newborn photos due to my photographer canceling on me at the last minute. Unfortunately I didn’t get any sleepy posed shots of him, but so began my interest and love for newborn photography.

    I am completely self-taught, and have photographed over 1,000 newborns over the last near decade. My goal is that you find our session an enjoyable experience, are completely relaxed, and love your newborn photos for many years to come. I prefer to focus on timeless images with simple props vs. the latest gimmick. 80’s clothes and hair, anyone? Okay, that era was actually pretty awesome, but let’s keep the baby photos fresh.

    Hope to hear from you!

    xoxo Lauren

Maya Sneak Peek {Alpharetta Newborn Marietta Photography}

WOW! That’s about all I can say. I am absolutely in love with the shots of Maya with her awesome parents!  <3

As beautiful and chubby as she was, she was one feisty newborn for me. She was probably one of the most difficult babies I’ve ever had. She was two weeks overdue, so that probably has a lot to do with it. She was more like a 3-week-old :)

I could talk all day about how much I love her daddy’s tattoos and the cool one her mom has on her upper arm. Just makes for some really amazing photos. It was definitely a nice change when I saw them, because this is definitely different from the usual mom and dad in t-shirts. Nothing wrong with that at all, and that’s how I would look myself, but it’s nice as an artist to have some deviation from the usual here and there :)

Can’t wait to see little Maya again, even though she made me WORK for these shots ;)

Wyatt 6 Months Sneak Peek {Atlanta Baby Family Photographer, Virginia Family Photography}

Ohh, this little guy is too sweet! I did his newborn photos, and his mom loved them so much she was willing to drive down from Virginia after they moved so that I could continue to do little Wyatt’s photos. How flattering! :) So, they drove down, and we got some sweet shots! At first Wyatt was a little out of it. He was tired as it was a sunrise session, and he also had a bit of a sinus infection. But my 3 boys came along to the shoot and did a great job of getting his attention and helping to make him smile. Babies just love my oldest son when he plays peek-a-boo with them!

Wyatt looks JUST like his dad, doesn’t he?!

I can’t wait to see little Wyatt again, and his mom and I talked about me flying up there for future photo sessions. How fun!

Bryce Sneak Peek {Atlanta Smyrna Newborn Photographer}

This little boy was an absolute DREAM to photograph. I seriously think he was the best baby I’ve ever photographed, or at least in the top 5! :)

He just let me do whatever I want with him, and I think the session only took an hour and ten minutes, including feeding!

I am in love with his hair, and when asked about hats, etc., mom and dad didn’t want to cover it up, so they opted to do mostly pix without hats, and I couldn’t have agreed more with them. Hats are precious on newborn babies, but when they have a ton of hair like this, it’s always better without, IMO. Show off that head of hair! :)

Eva Sneak Peek {Atlanta Alpharetta Newborn Photographer}

This family had a CRAZY story! They tried for 7 years to have a baby and finally chose the route of adoption. They were matched with their son Landry’s birth mom and found out 2 months later that they were pregnant! Their daughter Eva is 7 MONTHS younger than older brother! Their mom has her hands FULL, that’s for sure!

I just love the shot of little Landry in his bowtie! And the mommy shot of Eva and her mommy s to die for! I love how her little hand is resting on her mom :)

This family is truly lucky to have such beautiful, sweet children. What a lucky little boy Landry is to have found his parents through adoption AND have a new baby sister just a few months later! I’m sure they’ll be best friends :)

And Eva must have smiled 10 times during her session! <3
