Colorado Springs Photographer | Lauren Bounds Photography
If you’re here, chances are you’re looking for more than just pretty photos. You’re looking for a Colorado Springs photographer who can document your family in a way that feels honest, connected, and true to this season of life.
I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Lauren, the photographer behind Lauren Bounds Photography, and I specialize in family, newborn, and maternity photography in Colorado Springs and the surrounding areas. My work is rooted in real life, gentle guidance, and creating an experience that feels calm, natural, and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish.
Photography That Feels Easy — Because It Should
I believe your photo session be a fun time that produces memories that will outlast this season of life.
Whether we’re documenting your family at home baking cookies, exploring a favorite trail, or welcoming your newborn in those quiet early days, my approach is simple: I focus on the process first. When you feel comfortable, connected, and free to be yourselves, the images naturally follow.
Clients often tell me they’re surprised by how easy being in front of the camera feels — even if they started out nervous. That’s intentional. I guide you without over-posing, creating space for movement, laughter, and real interaction.
A Little About Me
I’ve been photographing families for over seven years, and I’m also a mom — which means I truly understand the beautiful unpredictability of family life. Kids don’t need to perform to create meaningful photos. They need room to be themselves.
I bring a calm presence, patience, and the ability to read the room — whether that means keeping things playful with young kids or navigating more refined environments with ease. My goal is for you to feel supported, not rushed, and fully taken care of throughout the experience.
And yes — I’m known for fast turnaround times and clear communication. Your memories matter, and I take that seriously.
What Working Together Looks Like
From the moment you inquire, I’ll guide you through every step:
- Help choosing locations that fit your vision, whether that’s an in-home session or a scenic outdoor setting
- Styling and outfit guidance so everything feels cohesive without feeling forced
- Gentle direction during your session so nothing feels awkward or stiff
- A relaxed, efficient experience designed around your family’s rhythms
My sessions are designed for families who value photography as part of their story — images meant to live on your walls, in albums, and in the everyday spaces of your home.
Serving Colorado Springs Families (and Visitors)
I’m based in Colorado Springs and work with families throughout the area, including outdoor locations and nearby mountain settings. I also regularly photograph families visiting Colorado who want meaningful images during their time here.
If you’re drawn to natural light, film-inspired imagery, and photographs that capture connection over perfection, you’re in the right place.
Let’s Tell Your Story
If you’re looking for a Colorado Springs photographer who values experience just as much as the final images, I’d love to connect. Whether you’re welcoming a new baby, documenting your growing family, or planning maternity photos, my goal is simple: to help you remember this season exactly as it felt.
