Nice to meet you...
I'm Lauren!
Businesswoman. Mom. Photographer. Artist. Traveler. Wife. Endlessly optimistic. Lover of Chanel, a crisp glass of Prosecco, a barefoot beach town, the tawny colors of European villages, and medium format film. Will hop on a flight to anywhere, anytime. Enneagram 7 and 3, outgoing to a fault, and a friend to all.
My photography business began in college, when I bought my first DSLR camera to visit my sister studying abroad in Florence, Italy. I fell in love suddenly, all at once, and irrevocably, with the art of photography, and I've never looked back. It's a love affair that has never faltered and I am honored to share my love of this beautiful craft with other photographers.
Since then, I've been honored to shoot hundreds of beautiful couples, grace the pages of top magazines like Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, People Magazine and more, work with celebrity clientele, and be named one of the top photographers globally by BRIDES.
This is a bit about me....but really, my story is universal. This chapter? It's all about YOU and YOUR journey.
Take me to the course!

"Lauren's workshops - in addition to being encouraging, highly educational, and incredibly beautiful - provided me with a space to see my own business with fresh eyes, and walk away with the confidence to increase my rates and move into serving luxury clientele. Lauren was kind and attentive to questions while intentional with her content and what I learned in the classroom time was equal parts inspiring and educational."
— Lauren w.
"One of the best investments I've ever made."
— COURTNEY D.
And I vividly remember the years and years of frustration, the steep learning curve, and the feeling of burnout that accompanied my trajectory of growth. I don't regret a single step of it. The lessons learned between $500 Craigslist weddings and celebrity, Vogue-featured weddings were precious, and I'll be pulling back the curtain and sharing them with you in Lauren Fair Atelier.
I started my business with $500 Craigslist bookings.
There's no shortcut to success: but there are strategies that can get you there with passion, hard work and a little bit of insider knowledge.

"LIFE CHANGER."
“The Lauren Fair Workshop was by far the BEST decision I made for not only my photography business, but also for myself. I walked away feeling like I could conquer all the DREAMS I had set for myself and I also walked away feeling so much more confident in myself. Lauren truly puts her heart and soul into her workshops leaving her attendees with an experience that you just can’t experience from anyone else in the industry. Lauren is one of the most humble, inspiring, kindest people I have ever met and she is someone you want to surround yourself with because she gives so much joy and love to everyone around her. Words can’t describe how fast my business transformed after Lauren's workshop. If you’re ready to take your business to the next level that you’ve always dreamed of, look no further.”

Is the course for all experience levels?
Lauren Fair Atelier is for photographers who have a business - whether new or established - and are confident in their basic skills, but are looking to truly uplevel their business, dive deeper, raise their prices, reach big goals, and gain a fresh perspective.
Is this course for film or digital photoGraphers?
Both! This is a business-heavy course and the content on editing is mostly for digital shooting. If you're looking specifically for a film course, there is an optional "How to Shoot Film" module available for purchase separately!

The investment in Lauren Fair Atelier is $1950.
My in-person workshops (with the same content) are $7,900 - I've made this course with an accessible price point for you to learn from home!
do you cover more business or photography topics?
BOTH! This is a truly immersive, deep-dive course into every single topic Lauren covers at her workshops. You can view all the topics covered in the modules above: Posing, Branding, Luxury Weddings, Destination Weddings, Pricing, Curation, Running an Associate Team, Developing a Signature Style, and so much more.

there are many courses out there. Why this one?
To put it simply, Lauren walks the talk. This content is coming to you from someone who has built their business from nothing (Craigslist weddings for $500) to a globally recognized luxury business with celebrity clientele. There's a lot of fluff in the wedding industry, and Lauren cuts right through it to deliver practical, business-changing content to transform photographers' growth.
What format does the course take?
Lauren Fair Atelier is hosted on an online platform with organized modules containing classroom-style videos and downloads. Expect homework in each module!
Do you talk about destination weddings?
Absolutely! Lauren's business is heavily focused on the luxury destination market, and she breaks down all the information you could hope for with working in the destination space (profitably!)

"Insurmountably helpful in reaching dream clients."
-Rachael K.
Lauren's workshop was
"Lauren and her guest speakers inspired me to implement major changes in my business. I have seen a beautiful evolution in the caliber of clients & wedding planners inquiring about my services ever since. There was no gatekeeping during the sessions - Lauren dove deep with our group and we left with endless actionable takeaways. The topic of photographer/planner relationships was something I hadn’t received education on before Lauren Fair’s workshop, and it’s been a major focus of my business ever since.
Lauren’s workshops are insurmountably helpful in reaching dream clients. I highly recommend her services to any photographer, especially those looking to elevate their business to reach the luxury market!"
"I have had the privilege of teaching with Lauren and having her speak and teach at my conference, The Hybrid Co. Lauren is an amazing, down to earth educator with a heart to serve others. She is an excellent businesswoman and her skills as a photographer make her one of the best in the biz to learn from.

The Hybrid Co.
