What is a Portrait Session?

A portrait session is any photography experience outside of weddings or large events. These sessions are designed to be flexible and inclusive, allowing you to choose from Bronze, Silver, or Gold options depending on your needs, timeline, and vision.


Portrait sessions can include individuals, couples, families, seniors, maternity, boudoir, branding, and more. Each session is a thoughtful blend of gently guided posing, intentional direction, and candid moments so nothing ever feels stiff or overly posed.



Every image is professionally edited in my signature true-to-color style, with an emphasis on warmth, emotion, and timeless storytelling. The goal is to create photographs that feel like you—honest, connected, and enduring.

To say that JLauren is the best around is an understatement! I had the privilege of doing a photo shoot where I had been nervous to do. Jade made me feel soo comfortable and I had the best time getting to model for her! Jade is amazing at what she does, and she is soo passionate about her work and her clientele!! I highly recommend JLauren Creative she is affordable, pays great attention to detail, and is such an amazing person inside and out! Thank you JLauren Creative for slaying my photo shoot!

I LIKE TO GIVE FREEDOM TO THE PEOPLE I CAPTURE TO LET THEM EXPRESS THEMSELVES IN THE WAY THEY WANT. THE RESULTS ARE ALWAYS VERY INTERESTING AND UNEXPECTED, AND I THINK THIS IS HOW MAGIC WORKS IN A WAY TO CAPTURE MOMENTS.
