The Lo Family spent some time with me this past weekend capturing their son and the joy that brings them all together as a family. I remember when their baby boy was only 4 months old in the studio getting his Christmas photos done with Mom + Dad. I’m so glad they came back for more photos with LRP. During our session we sang, twirled, and explored Lincoln Parks amazing variety of backdrops. I can’t wait to see this family again! Until next time LRP loves your family!!
The Beman Family joined me at Lincoln Park, in West Seattle, for a fun weekend family session! Boys will be boys and so we had a lots of fun running around, playing rough, and getting messy in the dirt and salty waters of Puget Sound. I enjoy these fun sessions, because it gives me joy to be apart of the growth and memories that parents are hoping to capture and remember for years to come.
Photography Meets Philanthropy. Lauren Ryan Photography Donated 5% to Baby Shayne Taylor. I scheduled eight family sessions this past month! I promised from those sessions, 5% of the profits would go straight back into our West Seattle Mom Community, to a mother in need.
The donation is being sent to baby Shayne Taylor and his parents. He was born on June 25th @ 10:09 am He was 8lbs 2oz.
In his second day of life baby Shayne developed seizures and has been in the NICU since then. He is now 16 days old and the parents are looking at another 2-3 weeks of hospitalization.
If you would like to make a donation today, please send it to Ildiko-Papp.
Her Venmo link is https://venmo.com/Ildiko-P
(She is a West Seattle Mom, and other Moms in the area plan to drop off donations and funds to baby Shayne’s parents)
Living in Seattle we struggle with the high price of living and unpredictable situations. The distance from their RV to the hospital is a financial burden and consuming much of their time. The family is finding it difficult to stay well fed and are depleting their food stamps rapidly. Their goal is to make it through the first month with baby boy Shayne.
On a personal note. I am a new mother to my 8th month old son Ev. I feel for this mother. We received a scary diagnosis that Ev would quite possibly be born blind or deaf and a shunt would need to be placed surgically in his head. We prayed and trusted that the Lord had a plan for us. We feared for the worse. Overall, everything was okay, but those same feelings reside in me today for any baby struggling. As well as the financial toll and burden placed on families with a sick child.
Let’s say a prayer for baby Shayne Taylor. Let’s hope that he heals and the parents can worry a little less with some assistance from the community. along with the donation from Lauren Ryan Photography and all of her customers who have provided it today.
Note. Lauren Ryan Photography is continuing the 5% project of giving back to the “Local Mom Community”. Book a family, maternity, and milestone sessions today and the 5% goes to another mother in need. Book Now: https://calendly.com/laurenrya

This sweet family and I enjoyed a couple of days photographing a studio session in my home, located in West Seattle and then we headed later in the week to Lincoln Park. They just are the sweetest family to work with and I loved every minute getting to know Hazel and her family.
Inquire my services in Family Portraits & Baby Milestones, I would love to have you in my home studio and take an adventure at the many parks Seattle has to offer!
This past week I had the pleasure of photographing the Caron Family. They were so much fun to work with, especially since the session revolved around Grandpa his dog, who traveled to America overseas to see his family. Although their might have been a language barrier the family was amazing in interpreting what he desired and we really had a fun time capturing how this family interacts.
My approach in every session of photographing is working with my clients, seeing what they want to do, having them as much apart of the process as I am capturing. I love to pose too, but find that my clients become stiff. So I have found a balanced formula and process in working with families to be silly, to have fun, and not to take the session so seriously. Of course the kiddies got away with bunny ears for a few, and that kept up their attention in order to develop the best gallery.
Note. Younger children I usually start in the woodsy area’s before traveling to the rocks and beach. Why? Because many younger children have an attention span of 15-20 mins, when you put several options of stimulation in the mix, we lose their attention completely. Because let’s face it rocks and water are definitely way cooler than getting your photo taken!! I make it my goal though to shape the session to the best calibration of you and your family!
I welcome all pets, even the wild ones!! It may take away from your session in distraction or add an element of telling your story of your family. As long as you prepare me, I’m ready for any family pet that comes my way.
During the Caron Family Session I suggested we switch up group photos and capture a variety of artsy photos, along with pairing some of the family members together. They loved this idea. I’m so happy we did this because it brought a lifestyle element to their gallery. Enjoy the images and inquire your LRP Family Session today!
