Lauren Gonzalez PHOTOGRAPHY
My first priority when meeting new clients is comfort. Being in front of the camera is super nerve-racking, and for most of my clients it is their first professional photoshoot. I take steps prior to your session to get to know you better, whether through my client questionnaire, or jumping on a phone call, I want to know you, & I want to know your story. So that when our session does roll around we feel like friends, not strangers! I do my best work when clients can trust me and feel comfortable around me. So, I establish this early on in your booking process that way when you're in front of the camera there is no awkwardness just love and intention.
Shooting style:
I strive for authenticity in whatever I shoot, I want your photos to feel like you, I do give light direction during your session but will mostly give you prompts that bring out your relationship and personalities. I do like a mix of editorial style as well and I aim to capture the details of your session that really tell the story. I remind clients that sessions should be true to who you are, from the location to the outfits, it all helps me capture your true selves.
Editing Style:
True tones, warmth and light mixed together. I am hugely inspired by film, and love a good grainy moment as much as I love a crisp photo. It truly depends on the location and clients. Each session has unique lighting and no one is the same, while I aim for consistency in my editing I do keep tones true to what your session looked like the day of.
Beauty In the Imperfections:
If you're looking for perfectly posed & perfect, I'm not for you. Rather, I embrace the imperfection, meaning rain or shine, wind blown hair, teary eyes. All of the beautiful moments that make us human, that make us feel. I'm here for it. I get told by a lot of clients who find me "I love your page because everyone looks so happy" genuinely its the best compliment. I don't force the laughter and smiles you see on my instagram, I try and make your session feel fun & free with a mix of soulful & sentimental.
