Specialist family photographer in Antrim, Northern Ireland. Lauren creates relaxed, natural family portraits—beautiful images of children, babies and newborns that look perfect on your walls.
Magnolia Memories by Lauren is a specialist family photography studio based in Antrim, Northern Ireland. Lauren’s work is rooted in a warm, natural approach — she’s less about stiff posing and more about capturing the genuine connection between family members. If you want images that feel like your life — laughing children, quiet newborn snuggles, and playful afternoons with the people you love — Lauren is the Antrim photographer who makes it happen. Why choose Lauren? Her background in theatre and creative set design gives her an eye for composition, mood and those little theatrical touches that turn a photograph into a piece of bespoke art. At the same time she brings the gentle patience of a parent and the practical know-how of a photographer who works daily with babies and young children. The result is warm, emotive portraits that suit your home and your story. How she works: every booking starts with a relaxed conversation so Lauren can learn about your family, your preferred locations and what you want to hang on your walls. She offers both outdoor lifestyle sessions and studio-based portraits, tailoring the session to each family — whether that’s energetic play on a beach at sunset, cosy lifestyle images at home, or posed-but-natural studio shots for milestone moments. Lauren guides families with playful prompts and creative activities so smiles come naturally without pressure or forced poses. What makes the sessions special: Lauren considers your photos as heirlooms, not just social media images. She helps you plan colours and styling to complement your home, offers a client wardrobe for maternity and portrait shoots, and focuses on timeless imagery you’ll cherish for years. While family photography is her core expertise, Lauren also captures newborns and baby milestones with a gentle, baby-led approach that prioritises comfort and safety. If you’re in Antrim or elsewhere in Northern Ireland and want a family session that feels genuine, relaxed and beautifully crafted, Magnolia Memories by Lauren offers a friendly, professional experience designed to preserve the moments you’ll want to remember forever.
