My name is Lauren Lewis, Indianapolis Family Photographer, Early Childhood Educator, and Chaos Coordinator Extraordinaire. It's my mission to help you throw away the idea of stoic, don't-mess-up-your-outfit, pleasefortheloveofgodsmile stress of planning your photo session. I am here to narrate your love. You know what is important in your family: The crazy.
The connection. The love and struggle and life that you breathe into each other- it goes beyond pretty pictures. Your family photos should, too. Your family photographs are about you. It's about your love. Your connection. The right family photographer (aka, me!) realizing the beauty in your perfectly imperfect family. I've spent over 12 years working with children and raising families, as a nanny, a childcare provider, mom, and photographer.
Busy Toddlers or Fussy Baby? Don't worry. Would Dad rather get a root canal than get his picture taken? I gotchu. No clue what to wear, where to put your hands, or nervous in front of the camera?

Do you love fun, outgoing people that are great with kids and people in general? Then Lauren is THE person to capture your timeless memories. Image quality is superior to most, customer service is top notch and the overall experience could not be any better. She helped capture my daughter's senior photos after her serious accident and was unbelievably accommodating while we had physical limitations. Truly the best of the best!

Do yourself a massive favor and book your next family photo session with Lauren! She is an absolutely incredible photographer with a great eye. On top of that, she really knows how to work with little ones to get the best out of them, and she delivers exactly what the parents want as well. We had some fall photos with Lauren last year that we loved, so we booked our son's one year photos with Lauren this past weekend, and we had an absolute blast! Lauren's process for the one year photos was full service.
We sent her some inspiration ideas, told her what kind of cake we wanted for the cake smash, and she took care of the rest. She got all the perfect decorations, had the cake made to our request by a local baker, and set up her in hone studio for us to get some photos that are pure magic. Lauren really makes the process easy on her customers. All we had to do was show up, and she took care of the rest!
She sent us a couple previews after the session, and they were gorgeous. She is super easy and fun to work with, and she produces stunning results. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Lauren is absolutely amazing! We've done three sessions with her over the past couple years. So it was an easy decision when we needed a photographer to capture a coming home session when our second arrives. Lauren has a knack for making your family feel at easy in front of the lens. She is talented at capturing emotion and the character of your family.
Her mini sessions are a great value and the perfect number of photos. She is so creative in the props/settings that she uses without it feeling staged. She is also flexible with random extended family members and pets that you may bring to a session. I'd highly recommend Lauren and Raise a Little Love to anyone looking for an outstanding photographer!

We had so much fun with Raise A Little Love photography. She did such a fabulous job of making the whole family included in all the laughs during our shoot. The pictures are absolutely perfect. Communication with the photographer was also amazing, and something I truly appreciate! I would recommend Raise A Little Love a million times over!

I can not say enough good things about Lauren with Raise a Little Love Photography! Our first experience with her was in August of 2019 where she took our first ever family photos. My husband and I had just received our foster daughter a month prior and knew we would adopt her so we wanted family pictures. We choose Lauren because of the photos she took of our friends family.
They were absolutely stunning! When we met her for the first time at the shoot she was incredibly kind and patient and understood our need to protect our daughters face from social media. Not only did she make it easy she was amazing with our kids nd gave us all the photos from the session not just the edited ones at no charge. Can you say amazing! She has such a good heart and can capture such beautiful moments. I will continue to use her! I can guarantee she will make you happy with her photos!

We LOVE Raise A Little Love Photography! Lauren is so sweet and patient. My kids LOVED her fun set up - my oldest is still talking about our Christmas minis at the barn from nearly two years ago. It's obvious she spends so much time creating the perfect environment for images and they're always so dreamy.
