Jenna and Ryan, March 19th 2011
We first met Jenna and Ryan while photographing Leah and John’s wedding last August. I remember thinking what a lovely couple they were and, so, I was delighted when they contacted us to photograph their wedding. Jenna and Ryan were married on March 19th 2011, the eve of spring, at Zenith Vineyard in Salem, Oregon. It […]
Libbi and Aaron’s Save-the-Date Mini Session
I wanted to wrap up this week by sharing a photo montage from a sweet photo session that we did with Libbi, Aaron, and their puggle, Shelby, at their home in Vancouver, Washington. Libbi and Aaron wanted to wait for warmer weather to do their engagement session, but they needed a few photos for their […]

Who’s ready for an adorable engagement session? I know I am! Meet Catie and Josh. They are engaged to be married this May right here in Portland, Oregon. This lovely couple lives in Southwest PDX and they frequent Gabriel Park with their two pups, Lilly and Riley. They also spend a lot of time in […]
Connor – 6 months
It amazes me how much a baby can grow and change in just six months. I photographed this sweet face back in September, when Connor was just a newborn. Here he is, six months later, with his fabulous parents, Ryan and Kate, and their adorable Boston Terrier, Bob. What a cute family!
Raleigh Turns One
I thought I’d wrap up this week with another adorable kiddo! This sweet little girl is the daughter of Matt and Rochelle, whose wedding we photographed back in 2008. Matt and Rochelle’s wedding in Gearhart was one of the most memorable weddings that we’ve photographed. It was quite the party and Matt, Rochelle, and their […]
Meet Talia
Meet Talia. She is sugar, spice, and everything nice. My heart wants to burst with joy just looking at her sweet little face. Talia is the daughter of two wonderful people, Michael and Grace. You may remember Michael and Grace from their wedding in August of 2008. We first met them in the Winter 2008, when […]
Allie and Justin’s Mid-Winter Engagement Session
It may be hard to believe today, as the rain pours down on Portland, but there are quite a few picture-perfect days to be found during the winter in the Pacific Northwest. When I say picture perfect, I’m not talking about a sunny day with blue skies and white, puffy clouds (although, those are nice […]
Jessica and Paul, February 18th 2011
Hello and happy March! It’s hard to believe that it’s been a month since we’ve had a new blog post. February was a very busy month here at Lauren Brooks Photography and I’m happy to report that March is following suit. It’s always fun when I’m spending more time behind the camera than behind the […]
Christi and Josh’s Engagement Session at Fort Vancouver
Christi and Josh’s engagement session took place on a gloriously beautiful Saturday in January. It was the kind of day where you didn’t even need a jacket. To be honest, it almost felt like spring! Upon Christi’s suggestion, we headed up to Fort Vancouver in Washington State for their engagement session. What a fantastic location […]

Goodbye January
I have to admit that, normally, January isn’t my favorite month of the year in Portland, mostly because of the wet, cold weather and lack of sun. However, this January has been pretty awesome; a good balance of work, relaxation, and even a little sunshine. In fact, I’m slightly sad to see January go. However, […]
Jenny and Michael, December 31st 2010
I can’t believe it’s here: our very last wedding from 2010! Lincoln and I bid goodbye to 2010 and rung in 2011 documenting Jenny and Michael’s incredible New Year’s Eve wedding. If you follow our blog, you may recognize Jenny and Michael from their early autumn engagement session at Howell Territorial Park. Lincoln had such […]
The K Family Portrait Session
Children grow and change so quickly. One of the best ways to preserve memories of your kids when they are still young is through photographs. This next photo session was a gift from one very thoughtful auntie named Megan. Megan’s sister, Kristin, and brother-in-law, Jason, welcomed their second child into their family last August. As […]
Meet My Constant Motivation
One thing that I love about Portland is that it is a city of action. People are constantly walking, biking, hiking, running, getting involved, and making positive things happen for themselves and for others. Among the movers and shakers is my friend, Kelly Constant, owner and founder of My Constant Motivation. I met Kelly almost […]
Megan and Eli, December 18th 2010
I hope that 2011 is off to a great start for everyone! I’m still reflecting on what a awesome year 2010 was. In fact, I still have a few photo shoots that I would like to share with you from the past year. Among them was the sweet and intimate wedding of Megan and Eli. […]
Keri and Ricky’s Engagement Session in North Portland
Lincoln and I had a great time getting to know Keri and Ricky during their engagement session at Peninsula Park. Keri and Ricky were high school sweethearts who, during their senior year of high school, were awarded the superlative of ‘Mr. and Mrs. Sunshine’. How cute is that? It’s not hard to believe that these […]
Melissa and Nick’s Engagement Photo Session in Lake Oswego
A few weeks ago, Melissa and Nick braved the cold and wind with me and Lincoln all in the name of engagement photos. I’m sure glad they did! Oh, how I love this session:) Their portraits took place at George Rogers Park in Lake Oswego on a chilly December morning. All of the leaves may […]
Meet Elodie
Elodie is one of the happiest and sweetest babies that I’ve met. It’s comes as no surprise, however, since her parents, Jasmin and Nathan, are two of the nicest people that I know. Jasmin and Nathan are two of the first people that we met when we moved to Portland. It’s hard to believe that […]
Shelly and Nathan’s Engagement Session in the Pearl District
Shelly and Nathan are not only photogenic, they’re also extremely energetic! These two qualities combined made for a very fun and entertaining engagement session in Portland’s Pearl District. We met Shelly and Nathan at Tanner Springs Park on a cool, cloudy, and colorful November afternoon. We spent a couple of hours together, exploring the Pearl […]
Brittney and Andrew’s Engagement Session in the South Park Blocks
Is it December already? Whew! November was one of the most action-packed months we’ve had in long time. This last month has been filled to the brim with family, friends, weddings, celebration, and travel. We had an incredible journey but, admittedly, it’s nice to finally be home and back to work:) I’m very excited to […]
Rachel and Jason, October 16th 2010
I love a classically romantic wedding. Red and white roses, candlelight, tulle, and a gorgeous October day were just a few of the things that made Rachel and Jason’s wedding beautiful and incredibly romantic. Held in at the World Trade Center in downtown Portland, Rachel and Jason could not have picked a more perfect evening […]
Suzanne and Tom – A Vacation Portrait Session
Just one last portrait session from the unofficial ‘Peninsula Park Series’ that took place this October… Suzanne and Tom live in Arizona and decided to make a trip to Oregon to visit the beautiful Pacific Northwest and check out the fall foliage. Suzanne, a talented wedding and portrait photographer based in Scottsdale, thought it would […]
Meet Avery
I’d like to share another family portrait session, starring a sweet little girl named Avery and her two doting parents, Andrea and Scott. This family stole my heart. Some days, it’s hard to believe that it’s my job to document people as adorable as this. Seriously, they are too cute for words! I invite you […]
Kim, Addie, and Marin
Family portrait sessions are becoming a fast favorite of mine. This next session was so fun! I love watching a mother and her daughters play together. What beautiful smiles they all have:) This is one family who really knows how to have a good time. Thank you, Kim. I had a blast photographing you and your […]
