Hello, I’m Lauren!
I’m a York-based maternity, newborn and family photographer with seven years of experience capturing life’s most precious moments.
I know just how quickly those tiny newborn days pass, and how important it is to have beautiful photographs to look back on as your family grows.
My sessions are relaxed, personal and completely baby-led. Whether your little one needs feeding, cuddles or a little extra time to settle, there’s never any pressure to rush.
From your growing bump to your baby’s first birthday and beyond, I’d love to help capture your family’s story and create memories you’ll treasure for years to come.

"We have been to Lauren for several shoots and I cannot recommend her enough! She has taken photos from me being pregnant to my little boy being over 1 years old with my nephew. She is so accommodating especially with little ones, she soothed my newborn like I’ve never seen before! A magician I swear! She takes her time and always gets the perfect shots even when my little one was being a little monkey! She goes above and beyond every single time and we have all the shots she’s taken printed off at home whic"

"I first met Lauren for a Christmas photo shoot back in 2021, she was absolutely amazing with my children and the photos were just beautiful. We came back a month later for my son’s 1st birthday cake smash and once again she was just wonderful and I still cry over how perfect those photos are now. When I became pregnant with my 3rd baby I knew I needed to book Lauren asap for a newborn shoot. Not only is she amazing at capturing family and children’s photos she’s also incredible with animals, I knew I wanted"

When should I book a newborn session?
I have just had my baby, can I still book?
What if my baby doesn't arrive on time?
Where are you located?
How do I book?
I have just booked in, what next?
When is best to have a maternity shoot?
What experience do you have?
Newborn sessions are best booked before baby arrives, with most people booking after their 12 week scan. The sessions normally take place within the first weeks as they are still sleepy, new and flexible.
Of course! However I may already be booked up. The best thing to do is to contact me and I will let you know what availability I have.
Babies come whenever they are ready, and I am ready and flexible for that! I only book in a certain number of newborns to ensure flexibility of dates.
I have a home studio in York, but I do also travel around Yorkshire for newborn home visits.
If I sound like your kind of photographer, you can either email me, call me or send me a message through Facebook or Instagram. I will get back to you to discuss available dates I have available.
In order to secure your date I do require a £50 non refundable deposit which is taken off the full amount owed just before our session.
Thank you for booking with Lauren Fairman Photography. I will send you over your 'What happens next?' documents and a contract for you to sign and send back to me.
I would recommend that the best time to capture this magical time is between 30 and 36 weeks.
This is the perfect time for our pregnant ladies, as their bump will be well shaped and hopefully they will still feel more comfortable.
Please feel free to invite partners and children to the session.
I am a self taught photographer who has invested in the highest photography training to give myself the best knowledge and safety training that money can buy.
