I know this page is about me but I’d really like to get to know YOU, so please connect with me through Facebook or Twitter, check out the blog, e-mail me with questions, or read on to find out a little bit more about the girl behind the camera.

laurenbythesea= me, my camera & a big heart for people

My style of photography is natural, light hearted and fun. I’m inspired by people and personalities so I try to capture what you stand for and what you mean to each other without overly posing or making anyone feel awkward.

Naturally I’d like to work with people who like a) me  b) my style, so I’d love for you to get an idea of who I am to know whether I’m the right photographer for you!

I’d like to share that I’m engaged to the loveliest man on earth *on cue -awww*

I promise I’m not the type to go on & on about being in love. I’m mentioning it here because it is part of the reason I love taking photos of people in love. I AM in love & I like to share in other people’s happiness, to capture that emotion and special relationship.

I love making my clients feel at ease. I share my personality here with you in the hopes that you’ll share yours with me. I’m a down to earth type of girl who’ll take the time to get to know you, make you feel comfortable & beautiful and take real pictures of you in a real place with the people you love.

Still here? Fantastic! Want to know more? Ok. There’s not enough hours in the day. I’m always doing. I have a fun side and a serious side. I love to paint, create & procrastinate (and rhyme, apparently!) I have an addictive personality, once I like something I’m hooked and quite often collect things. (There’s a novelty teapot collector in me dying to break free!) I’m quite very partial to the odd cupcake, meringue or any food item containing silly amounts of sugar. I love messing around with kids & forgetting that I’m supposed to be a grown up. I love travel, stories, reading & hearing about other people’s life experiences.

Truth is, I love being a photographer because I get to do all these things. With me as your photographer, I get to be me & you get to be you. Everyone’s a winner.

So if you want fun, creative portraits….. YAY! Get in touch!   lauren@laurenbythesea.com 07817084123
