Meet the creator
Hi, I'm Lauren.
In addition to being an international award-winning newborn and portrait photographer, I’m also known for being an over-achieving, Photoshop obsessed (
This huge action, preset and overlay collection contains my own personal editing steps used to create these sentimental storytelling portraits, wrapped up in a versatile, intuitive download. Everything here is user-tested to work on all images. It’s no matter if you shoot raw or jpeg, they will work just as beautifully.
My goal when creating these tools was to help other photographers—both amateur and professional—feel confident in their work while saving them the immense hassle of editing from scratch, second guessing and starting over. Sounds too good to be true? Just ask any of the 14,000 users worldwide or, check out a few of our latest awards...
All LSP Actions and presets have been user-tested on thousands of images, pushed to the extreme by the boldest photographers, and are proven to work flawlessly amidst noisy children and Cats who like to prance across your keyboard at all the worst times in all settings, with all images.
Lauren xoxo
