About Me


I entered into the world of professional photography in March 2022, when my oldest wee guy was just three months old. Picture this: I'd moved to New Zealand when 7 months pregnant to raise my family with my Kiwi husband, leaving behind a career in pharmacy. It was a new country, a new role as a first-time mum, and a blank canvas for me. I had always had a passion for photography but never had the courage to leave my career to start the journey to my dream. This was my perfect opportunity to follow my heart.

Why Choose Lauren Ashlee Photography


As a mum, I understand the importance of savoring every moment you can. Our children grow up so fast and you just wish you could freeze time. Memories seem to fade so quickly, but a photograph can transport you right back to that moment, to those feelings of joy and happiness.


I capture genuine emotions. No stiff, awkward poses here – I prefer to let life unfold naturally. I'll give you some gentle guidance to make sure you look your best, but I want your true selves to shine through.
