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

Zoey, 7 WEEKS New! {Smyrna, Marietta, Atlanta Newborn Photographer}

Oh, goodness! Adorable Zoey was only a couple days shy of 7 WEEKS old, and I am surprised that we got these shots. I wasn’t too optimistic! It did take a while, but we got some cute shots, and I think that’s all her parents could have hoped for. We may have ended up with less shots than a normal “newborn” session, but we were still able to achieve some, and I personally think the shot of her with her parents is PRICELESS! I would die to go back and have pix of my babies as newborns and me like that!

So glad that we were able to capture some traditional newborn shots of sweet Zoey. She was better than I expected.

Stella- Sneak Peak Lifestyle Pet Session {Marietta, Buckhead, Atlanta pet photographer}

I photographed this sweet girl in her “big sister’s” beautiful room. She was such a joy to be around and seemed to love the camera! Sometimes German Shepherds can be a little shy around new people but Stella and I became buddies right away. Stella’s “mom” and “dad” are both doctors and were both on call, so luckily their nanny was available to hang out with Stella and me for the session. More pics of this stunning girl will come soon!

Caden Sneak Peek {Stone Mountain, Marietta, Atlanta Newborn Photographer}

Just look at this little peanut! Caden was three weeks early and was only a little over 5 pounds when he was born. He was SO tiny. But don’t let that fool you. Caden was FIESTY! :) I have to say that Caden was one of the most fiesty newborns I have ever worked with, but we still completed the session and still got great pix :) Caden was about as hungry as a hippo and just had to have his paci in his mouth nearly the entire time. It seemed like his session took forever, but it was really only about 3 or 3.5 hours. Mom, grandma, and I got some good laughs during the the Coke setup, because he did NOT want to keep those legs closed and kept sticking his left leg over the crate. Every time I put it back, just when I would try to step back to take a picture, he’d move again. Sometimes you can get mom to help hold it still and combine two images into one, but Caden was so touchy that I was afraid doing that may wake him permanently. Luckily, we got the shot. Caden was adorable, and I think his mommy is in for a ride with him as he grows :) Lol!

Birnbaum Family Sneak Peek {Sandy Springs, Marietta, Atlanta Family Photographer}

I photographed this family’s son’s cake smash session a week ago, and we went out yesterday evening to Piedmont Park — one of my favorite locations — to do some family shots. I was so excited when I saw them get out of the car. They couldn’t have been more perfectly dressed, especially their adorable girls! They wore my favorite brand for little girls — Matilda Jane! Matilda Jane clothes are such a great way to build the family’s wardrobe for family sessions. The mix of colors and patterns allows you to easily coordinate everyone else based on just one outfit, and the whimsical style really just looks great in family pictures, so if you have a little girl, consider Matilda Jane or a similar line for your family session or get inspired and build your own outfits. :)

These girls were so much fun, and I didn’t even have to do a head swap on that pic of the entire family. We had gorgeous light for a few minutes there (sadly, it doesn’t ever last long enough, especially as we head towards winter!).

Can’t wait to edit the rest of this beautiful family!

Cara Maternity Sneak Peek {Norcross, Kennesaw, Atlanta Maternity Photographer}

I met up with Cara and her husband Saturday for her maternity session. I usually do not shoot on the weekends, but with fall and all of the beautiful colors and family photo sessions, etc., it’s hard not to since newborns take up most of my shooting time during the week.

Cara and her husband are keeping their baby girl’s name a secret…I couldn’t get it out of them :) Cara really wanted some beautiful, colorful leaves in her maternity photos, so we took shots at three different outdoor spots to get that accomplished without driving a long distance.

Cara was glowing! She and her husband have such a connection with each other that was sweet to watch. Their session was filled with laughter, and I think we all cracked up more than a couple of times. Can’t wait to meet baby!
