McGill Photography

Capturing the special moments for you to cherish forever.
“I couldn’t get enough, learn enough, or take enough. I would hound my friends to let me take photos of their children – and my daughter really did grow up thinking that a camera-in-hand is just a normal part of everyday life.” – Lauren

Nice to meet you, I’m Lauren.
Being a mother, I know first-hand how quickly our little cherubs grow; and just how important it is to have really beautiful family photography to capture these milestones.

We had such a great experience with Lauren at McGill photography. My 1 year old is super shy and she made him feel really comfortable before his cake smash photographs, reading him books and getting him used to the flashing of the camera. The finished photos were sent through quickly and they are gorgeous. We are so pleased to have recorded this milestone, I highly recommend Lauren for anyone wanting lovely photos to keep forever!
I booked Lauren for a family portrait & cake smash session after she was recommended to me on a Facebook group and honestly it was the best decision I made. I was really worried about baby not cooperating and going over the time of our session, but Lauren made us feel so welcome and at ease. She took her time and made us all feel relaxed especially my little boy (he loved her). She had my son giggling and posing up a storm! Her prices are fair and honestly absolutely worth it for the amazing treatment and the stunning professional photos that you get. I even ordered the cake through her which saved me so much time and effort (it looked and tasted amazing btw). I will be recommending Lauren to all my friends and family! Hopefully I will be booking her for my next baby too 🙂
The experience with McGill photography was amazing, I had a cake smash session with my one year old and everything was perfect, i won’t be using anyone else. Lauren produces beautiful photos and was great in getting my one year old comfortable in front of the camera. We had a fun and enjoyable session and I have now just booked in for my next cake smash session for next year. Lauren’s photos are high quality and she is great value, this is one of the reasons I went with her and I was blown away with her beautiful photos. I can’t wait to see what she does for our next session.
We are so in love with our family photos! I was referred by a friend and she did not disappoint! Loz was so fun and kept our 1 year old engaged and happy throughout the shoot. I felt her prices were really reasonable for how high quality they all were, there really wasn't any we didn't want to frame! We've had several friends tell us they are the best family photos they have ever seen and it looks like out of a magazine! You're the best Loz! We'll be back again! Xx The Manson Family

💐 Mother’s Day Minis – I Need Your Help! 💐

With Kindy Photos added to my services, late April/early May is now super busy — right when I usually offer Mother’s Day Minis ($150).

Should I:
1️⃣ Run them as usual but with a 4–6 week turnaround?
OR
2️⃣ Hold them after Mother’s Day (mid‑May) and the session can still be bought as gifts?

I’d love your feedback! 💛
