Photography by Lauren Samuels Photography

Originally published in Gilbert City Lifestyle

Lauren Samuels is a family photographer based in Gilbert, Arizona.  She loves capturing genuine smiles and authentic emotion between her clients while they are surrounded by the beautiful landscape we have here in Arizona. Lauren moved here in early 2021 with her husband, Zach, and two young daughters, Amelia and Livi.   She fell in love with the people and the area.

"My passion for photography grew after I had my first daughter. I became absolutely obsessed with taking photos of her. That led to me getting a big girl camera and discovering I was also obsessed with capturing families connecting with one another. Getting those shots with real emotion that make your heart flutter or a tear to shed. After a few years in the business, that passion has been fueled by the gratitude and appreciation my clients have shown me. These moments are fleeting and I find it so special to be the one documenting them for people." 

"This town is so family oriented and welcoming and we are so happy we landed in Gilbert." _ Lauren
