ATELIER: FRENCH for WORKSHOP

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.

Lauren Fair Atelier is hosted on an online platform with organized modules containing videos, photos, and downloads. Expect homework in each module!

" Lauren had real conversations with us about so many important topics where she shared insights into the wedding market that truly infused a new sense of life and strategy into my business.The work and knowledge I gained from attending Lauren's workshop have contributed to my prices increasing, my brand elevating and with an increased ability to navigate the wedding market.
