Dominique Lauren Photography

I specialise in family photography from my base in Ewell, Surrey, and I position myself as a family photography specialist because I truly love telling family stories. As a mother of three, I know how fleeting the everyday moments are — the sticky hands, the quiet cuddles, the laughter between siblings — and I aim to preserve those memories in a way that feels honest and timeless. My approach is natural and documentary-led with an editorial finish. I look for those small interactions and authentic emotions rather than stiff poses. Whether we’re at home, exploring a favourite outdoor spot in Surrey or South-West London, or creating a styled scene, I work gently and conversationally so parents and children relax and the real moments come through. I often give soft cues and playful prompts to spark connection, but most of my best images come from watching and waiting for genuine interaction. Working with children is a core part of what I do — I have more than a decade of experience photographing little ones and expect the unexpected. That experience means I’m patient, adaptable and ready to make sessions feel like a fun family outing rather than a photo appointment. I photograph newborn cuddles and those first tentative steps, big sister and brother moments, and the chaotic joy of family life, always aiming for images you’ll be proud to display at home. For clients who want a more styled session, I enjoy collaborating on mood boards and bringing a clear vision to life while still keeping the session warm and relaxed. My sessions are collaborative: we’ll talk about what matters to you, where you feel most comfortable, and any small details or props you’d like to include. The result is a gallery of images that reflect your family’s personality — intimate, joyful and true to life. If you’re looking for a family specialist in Ewell and the surrounding areas of Surrey, Kent or Sussex who values connection, warmth and authenticity, I’d love to hear your story. Get in touch to discuss your vision and we’ll plan a session that fits the way your family naturally interacts.
