Hi! I’m Lauren, and I love photography. I received my honours degree in Photography (HBFA) from the University of Victoria, back in the days of film. It’s my passion to capture stories – stories of happy moments, fresh moments, shy moments, silly moments.
I believe that your family photos (yes, you!) can be works of art. I believe that weddings are fabulous and romantic, and that you may never look so beautiful again, and so you should celebrate that with beautiful images. I believe that natural light is the most flattering light, and that capturing ambient light is all part of telling the story. I believe that life is full of wonderful moments that pass all too quickly, and we should celebrate that, too.
I love to shoot on-location, incorporating elements of your life into your photos. I work primarily in the Annapolis Valley, but am always happy to schedule sessions on the South Shore, or in the greater Halifax area.
Things I have done for a shot:
- laid down on the ground, in long grass, during tick season (while seven months pregnant)
- climbed a tree
- boarded a boat
- walked backwards up a mountain
- said, “is that poison ivy?”
- stood very still in an actual cloud of mosquitoes
- driven very slowly while my assistant literally hangs out the window
- stepped in deer poop
- been pooped on, peed on, and spit-up on
- whatever it takes
Shots I still want to get one day:
- a rowboat shoot – gotta love those rowboat shoots
- a sunny day, a sandy beach (Mexico, anyone?)
- the one with the seagull/pigeon just perfectly walking/flying through the frame
- four generations in one shoot (five, anyone?)
- anything with sheep
- those big fluffy, catch-em-on-your-tongue snowflakes are falling as we speak
- a family full of masks
- brides and chickens
- anything with umbrellas (or bowties)
- absolutely anything you can dream up
Welcome to Lauren Kaye Photography.
If you want to know more, you can visit me over at Sleeping Forest Studios, where I write about my life and family. Hope to see you there!
Looking foreward to our photo session with you on the 29th :
Hello,
I just took a look at some of your wedding shots and they are great! I am getting married to my fiance next summer (July 5 I think) in Annapolis Royal. I am wondering if you may be able to provide me with a rough estimate of your prices and possible availability for that weekend. If possible, if you could get back to me by tomorrow I would really appreciate it as I have a friend who is willing to shoot my wedding, but needs an answer from me by tomorrow evening (she is a professional photographer as well and has others asking).
Would you be available and interested in photographing our upcoming wedding Sept 20th this yr?
Hi, I’m looking for someone to do a motorcycle photoshooy for me. Would that be something you would do? If so please give me an email back!
Interested in knowing more about your prices/wedding packages. Looking for a photographer sept 2015 🙂 please e-mail me with info!
Hi Lauren,
I’m wondering if you could email me some information about packages/pricing for an engagement session. I’m getting married in Vegas so won’t need a photographer for the wedding, but looking to do an engagement shoot sometime this fall on the South Shore.
