springfield illinois family photographer

“Lauren is by far one of the most professional and easy going photographers I have had the pleasure of working with. She provides you with quality service and has nothing but your best interest in mind when she designs a session around you and your family. She has an organized system of doing things that works flawlessly and it shows how well she has perfected it. I could not be more happy with the quality of our pictures and the overall experience that Lauren provides.”

– Ashley

“We had such a wonderful experience with Lauren! Our photos are amazing–she really captured so many great moments of our little one and our family. The photo package that we got included lots of pictures and lots of time in the studio, and it was SO worth the money we spent. Absolutely great value. Lauren is so professional–she reached out to us ahead of time to get the kinds of colours and poses we wanted, and she verified the colours we wanted before we got there. We walked into the studio and she was all set up for us, with all of the swaddles and scenes set up, and it was clear that she spent time preparing for us. Lauren clearly loves what she does–she was so good with our little guy, giving us lots of time to get him settled and happy, and it was clear that she loves the babies and has lots of experience with helping them to be calm and settled and happy in the pictures. Lauren had lots of good ideas for poses, and her studio was clean and well stocked with all the outfits and props that were necessary, as well as space to change and feed the little one. Overall, this was a fantastic experience, and we are excited to come back for other milestone photos with Lauren. We recommend her extremely highly!”

Lauren was flexible, friendly, and so good with our little one! Not to mention the photos were beautiful! We are very happy we decided to use Lauren Tomten Photography”

“Lauren is so great to work with, and she does everything she can to make everyone comfortable! She was patient with our curious, crawling one year old during his cake smash session. We love our photos and are so grateful that we chose Lauren to document such a special milestone for our sweet boy!”

– Kendyl W.

“Thank you so much, Lauren! Our family pictures with our 3 year old are perfect! Lauren captured the most awesome moments that we don’t get to see or capture ourselves. She has an eye and creates such beautiful work even within the quick timespan of a 20-minute mini session, which is the perfect amount of time for our 3-year-old. It was wonderful to pause and take some time in our lives to have family pictures done. We don’t have many family pictures, and Our little will only be so little for so long. We will treasure these pictures always.

If you are thinking about getting family pictures.. or thinking about a birthday or holiday gift for a loved one — a family photo session (or *any* photo session) with Lauren is the perfect gift for the memories to treasure and cherish for years to come.”

Lauren was so great to work with! She was wonderful at getting my little one to smile and worked quickly knowing his attention span was short. She was quick to respond and we had so many good photos to choose from.”

Lauren is by far one of the most professional and easy going photographers I have had the pleasure of working with. She provides you with quality service and has nothing but your best interest in mind when she designs a session around you and your family. We just recently had two sessions with Lauren, a maternity and newborn session. Lauren was so patient and worked so well with our 5 year old, and how calm and collected she was with our newborn twins was just amazing!! She has an organized system of doing things that works flawlessly and it shows how well she has perfected it. Both session experiences were positive and I left feeling so happy and confident that we would be getting high quality products in return. I have not been disappointed and could not be more happy with the quality of our pictures and the overall experience that Lauren provides.”

– Ashley R.

“We are so happy we had our family pictures done by Lauren. We had mini session done and Lauren guided us through the whole process to get fantastic photos. She tried many different poses, both formal and candid, to get great snapshots of us and our toddler. It can be hard to get our son to smile but she was so playful, we are so happy with what we got! The photos are high quality and beautiful and it is so great to get digital downloads.”

– Tiffany B.

Our experience with Lauren was wonderful! Her response time was great, and we weren’t left with any questions. She created the perfect backdrop for our cake smash photos and ordered a cake that went with everything perfectly! Her studio is just perfect, and we couldn’t be happier with our final pictures!”

– Kara C.

Lauren is an amazing newborn photographer and I would recommend anyone having a baby to get pictures by her! The quality of the pictures goes above and beyond what I could have ever expected. I’m so happy to have these memories captured of my newborn cause we all know they are only this little for such a short time.”

– Rachel R.

Wow! Lauren does such amazing work! We were completely satisfied and 100% in love with the pictures that came out of our sessions with Lauren!! Not only was she fantastic with the kiddos, she took her time throughout the session to make the kids feel comfortable so she could get the best smiles! We are so blessed for what she is doing for the community and we will always use Lauren Tomten Photography for any memories we want to capture!”
