Magnolia Memories by Lauren

Lauren at Magnolia Memories by Lauren is a dedicated maternity specialist based in Antrim, Northern Ireland, who treats each bump session as a celebration of this extraordinary chapter. Her approach is warm, empowering and deeply personal — built from her background in theatre and teaching and fuelled by the same tenderness she gives her own family. If you want maternity photos that feel honest, beautiful and crafted with care, this is the focused expertise you’ll find here. Why choose Lauren for your maternity photos? She specialises in maternity and Bump to Baby storytelling, guiding you from pregnancy through those first days with an emphasis on comfort and confidence. Sessions can take place in her relaxed Antrim studio — complete with a client closet of maternity gowns chosen to flatter — or as a lifestyle session in your home where she works as a gentle, ‘fly on the wall’ observer. Lauren’s experience means she knows how to create flattering light, elegant poses and authentic moments that feel like you rather than staged images. Her process is practical and reassuring. Every shoot begins with a friendly consultation where you’ll talk through style, location and mood. You’ll receive anticipatory guidance on what to wear and how to prepare so the session feels effortless. On the day Lauren brings calm direction, playful prompts and an eye for the small, meaningful details — the tender hold of a partner’s hand, the curve of a bump, the quiet expression that says everything. Lauren believes these images should live beyond your phone. She focuses on creating heirloom photographs and simple, tasteful artwork that suit your home and your story. Many clients combine maternity images with newborn photos in a Bump to Baby collection to craft a cohesive keepsake album or wall piece that will be passed down. If you want a maternity photographer who specialises in expecting mothers, values connection, and delivers relaxed, emotive portraits in Antrim and across Northern Ireland, Magnolia Memories by Lauren is ready to capture this unique time with sensitivity and style.
