Authentic Imagery for Businesses That Think Outside the Box

Are you tired of the same old, unremarkable stock images? Your business deserves better. Whether you’re a local Surf Coast creative, a Geelong startup, or a Melbourne-based corporation, your brand’s story is unique—and your visuals should be, too. As an experienced, award-winning photographer serving Surf Coast, Geelong, and Melbourne, I specialise in uncontrived, personalised photography tailored to your needs. From authentic portraits to storytelling that stands out, my approach goes beyond the generic to show your clients who you truly are. If you’re ready to think outside the box and leave a lasting impression, let’s create custom imagery that elevates your brand and connects with your audience.

No More Stock Photos: Let’s Showcase the Real You

We get it—stock photos are easy. But are they really doing your business justice? Those staged office shots and generic smiles don’t reflect what makes your business unique. That’s where we come in.

Our photography is designed to tell your story, not someone else’s. Whether you’re a one-person artist or a major ASX-listed company, we capture the essence of your brand with authenticity and detail.

What We Do

  • Natural portraits: No-one wants to see or experience stiff poses and awkward smiles. We create professional, approachable portraits that reflect who you are.
  • Tailored business storytelling: From the day-to-day moments to the big picture, we craft visuals that show what sets your business apart.
  • Authenticity, not stock clichés: Every image is personal, polished, and uniquely yours.

Clients Big and Small

We’ve worked with a diverse range of clients, including:

  • Independent creatives: Small businesses and one-person operations.
  • Community organisations: Like the YMCA.
  • Government agencies: Such as the EPA.
  • Universities: Including Monash and Melbourne.
  • ASX-listed companies

Whether it’s highlighting the artistry of a solo creative or the operations of a corporate powerhouse, we bring the same level of care and creativity to every project.

Why Custom Photography?

Stock photos are generic because they’re made for everyone. Custom photography is tailored to your brand, your personality, and your goals. It’s not just about getting good photos—it’s about building a visual identity that sets you apart.

With a custom shoot, you’ll have a library of images that are perfect for:

  • Websites
  • Social media
  • Marketing campaigns
  • Internal communications

Plus, we make sure the visuals align with your brand guidelines—whether it’s colours, framing, or overall tone.

Why Work With Us?

  • Experienced storytellers: We don’t just take photos; we find the story that makes your business unique.
  • Relaxed and professional: Our shoots are comfortable, collaborative, and designed to bring out the best in you and your team.
  • Local and flexible: Based on the Surf Coast, we work with businesses across Geelong and Melbourne and beyond.

Let’s Create Something Real

Your business is more than a logo and a product. It’s a story waiting to be told—and we’d love to help you tell it.

Whether you’re after team portraits, behind-the-scenes shots, or a complete visual refresh, we’re here to create photography that’s as unique as you are.

Get in touch to find out how we can help you ditch the stock and create something that truly represents your brand.

“Lauren is absolutely AMAZING to work with. We have been catering weddings and events for 11 years now and she is one of our absolute favourite photographers to deal with. The photos she produces are so personal and beautiful. We can’t recommend her more highly!”

Sonia

Lauren is absolutely the best! She did a photoshoot for my workshop and she has such a way of keeping things at ease. It felt so natural and the photos really reflect that. She has an amazing ability of putting it all together into a cohesive story.

“Lauren was an absolute pleasure to work with. She captured the essence of our event perfectly and her work is nothing short of art. We couldn’t be happier with our photos. They are so candid and natural, perfectly framed and beautifully vivid. It is too difficult to choose a favourite from the album, they are all that good! Thank you for such an amazing experience Loz!”
