My name is Lauren Skousen. I’m a Southern California based photographer, but am available to travel anywhere! I specialize in on location children, family, senior and lifestyle portraits (I do photograph a select number of weddings each year). I have been happily married to my husband for 5 years. We have a beautiful daughter and son! My love and passion for photography began when I was young. I can remember making a studio in my home and taking pictures of my sisters with my mom’s film camera. After my daughter was born, I decided to further pursue my passion of photography. I enjoy being able to provide beautiful memories for others! I always say that I have the best job...I love what I do!
If you have any questions regarding my photography services, please email me. I look forward to capturing timeless memories of your life!
I have been neglecting my blog here but it’s for a good reason! I have been away for maternity leave and have been able to spend some quality time with my little man! This little cutie has been such a blessing in our home…
And I can’t forget about Big Sister!!! Matti has...
As the old saying goes, “The shoemaker’s children always go without shoes” that is how Mattison is with photos at this point in time. I have been SO busy with editing sessions and getting things ready before the baby comes, that it took me two months to get my daughter’s 2 year photos taken…pretty pathetic,...
Just this past weekend, my family and I went to the Cal Poly Pumpkin Patch! Mattison is in love with pumpkins right now, so I thought it would be fun to take her! She really enjoyed it; however, we ended up using the pumpkins as a photo opportunity…we ended up not paying the...
I was so excited to take this family’s photos! I had a little preview of the cuteness in taking Karlee’s 1st birthday photos. We had planned on taking their family photos at Balboa Beach, but Brittney texted me and asked if we could change things a bit and possibly take them closer to...
It was so fun to work with the Willes Family again. For those of you who remember, this was my very first family session to post on my blog a year ago (see here). It is amazing to see how much each of the kids have grown in a year! This time...
Usually I’m the one behind the camera, but this time it was my turn to have my pictures taken! My family kept asking me when I was going to do my maternity photos, so I figured I better hurry and do it before it’s too late. I knew that I wanted some last...
Over Labor Day weekend, my husband, daughter and I packed our bags and headed to Gilbert, AZ to visit the Hunters! I drove with my legs up as much as I could so that my legs wouldn’t swell anymore (it’s not so fun traveling when you’re quite pregnant, lol)! It was a short trip,...
Tammi and I have been friends since high school…however, unfortunately since we live in different states, we don’t see each other as often as I wished! Tammi contacted me and wondered if I’d be available to take her extended family photos while her all of her family was in town and together! It...
Like I said, I love repeat clients! Brittney asked if I’d do a little mini session and get some quick photos of her little girl for her 1st birthday invitations…then we’ll be taking more of her one year photos during their family session in a few weeks! Her little girl is a gorgeous...
Each year my dad’s side of the family gets together for a family reunion daytrip to the beach! My cousin, Amy, was in town for the beach trip and asked if I’d be able to take some photos of her cute little 4 month old daughter! She is seriously such a good baby…she...
