Lauren Cruz Photography

My love for photography began in 2011 with the birth of my first daughter. Like many new moms, I kept my camera close by to capture every special moment and milestone. I had always admired the work of professional photographers, and over time, I discovered a true passion for photographing newborns and children—something that came naturally given my lifelong love for little ones.

Driven by that passion, I challenged myself to learn photography on my own and continue to educate myself daily. I’m now a proud mom of three—two girls and a boy—and documenting their growth has only deepened my appreciation for preserving life’s fleeting moments.

In 2020, after 13 years in the corporate world as a NICU nurse, I made the leap to become a full-time photographer. While I love working with families, young children, and expectant mothers, my heart is especially drawn to Newborn Photography—it’s where I feel most at home and inspired.
