I highly recommend Art LaBeau Photography Classes. Lauren is kind, patient, organized, timely, and very thorough. Her classes are structured in a way that anyone will be able to grasp, and understand each concept presented. Her classes consists of lecture, visuals, and tons of hands on practice. Rather you are seeking to be a hobbyist and/or professional photographer you don’t want to start and/or continue your journey without Lauren she is a PHENOMENAL instructor and photographer. So very excited to continue being taught by the BEST!

Lauren is an incredibly talented artist and photographer, and I am so privileged to know her! She has captured amazing photos of my family and my kids over the years. She has blessed me with some magical frozen moments in time of both my kids that I will treasure forever. I am so thankful she is using her gifts to create such beautiful works of art. Her hand-painted backdrops are breathtaking and seeing my sweet babies in front of them is amazing. I am beyond blessed to have these images and memories to treasure and display in my home! If you are looking for beautiful art and photography, you have come to the right place with Art LaBeau Studios!

Because of Lauren at Art LaBeau I am now able to capture the most beautiful photos of my family. I captured the most amazing photo of my child and I was so proud of it and it was all because of Lauren. It is straight from the back of my camera and it was not a luck shot, it was because of HER! I don’t know if words will ever truly show my gratitude to Lauren for all she has taught me in class. I now have the skills to have beautiful photos of my kids that I will love in 50 years and that is a gift of a lifetime. THANK YOU Lauren from the bottom of my heart for organizing and teaching these classes. THANK YOU for sacrificing your time and time spent with your family and friends to help me and THANK YOU for loving photography enough to share your talents with me and teach me how to become a budding photographer. Your passion for photography and teaching really made these last 8 weeks worth it and has lit a fire inside me to pull my camera out more often and catch these moments with my family because they are truly fleeting.If you want the best go with the best. Don’t hesitate. It has truly been one of my best decisions!

Lauren is a gifted teacher. She makes photography approachable. I’ve taken photography classes in the past but never walked away ready to actually use what I learned without feeling like I needed several more classes. Then I would get busy and forget everything. Lauren seems to have found the magic combination and flow of information balanced with hands on practice. I took three of her classes and will be going back for more! After the first class I was already having fun taking photos and even with my crazy busy schedule I’ve been able to keep up and make progress! I LOVE my camera now thanks to Art LaBeau Studios!

“Lauren’s photography classes are exactly what I was looking for as a beginner/enthusiast photographer. They are the perfect amount of information and hands on experience. I love that they are affordable and packed with helpful hands on practice. On a deeper level, I feel like these classes have given me an outlet to help develop my own unique style of photography, taking it to the next level. Lauren makes herself readily available to help with any questions we have or struggles we may be experiencing while practicing. She doesn’t hold anything back from her students. She desires to see her students thrive and it shows through her classes and availability to help. I think anyone could benefit from her classes, regardless of age or walk of life.”

Since becoming a mama, I have wanted to capture precious memories of my son that I will be able to cherish for years to come. So, I bought a camera and started trying to figure out how to use it on my own. I truly thought I had learned a lot with my own google research and YouTube videos, but NOTHING has compared to being in class and getting that hands-on experience with Lauren. Lauren is passionate about photography and gentle with her critiques and suggestions. Her own skills as a photographer are inspiring to me and encourage me to step outside of my comfort zone as I practice. I am finding myself better able to creatively capture moments on my camera that are sharp and focused; moments that may have been missed had I not taken her classes. If you are wanting to grow in any area of photography, I highly encourage you to sign up for one of Laurens classes.We have also trusted Lauren to take both our family photos and our son’s newborn portraits and she nailed it both times. What I love most about Lauren’s photography, besides her sharp images and slightly whimsical style, is her creativity. Lauren doesn’t just reproduce the same images over and over again for different clients. Instead, she is always thinking outside of the box and coming up with new ideas for her photos. She is truly an artist in every sense of the word, and her calm, friendly demeanor can make anyone feel comfortable in front of a camera. If you are considering Lauren as your photographer, just do it! You can’t go wrong with her! :)

I love Lauren’s art and she does an amazing job! I had asked if she could do a portrait meant for a graduation cap and I love how she captured our fur babies. My family had lost our little dachshund about a month ago and my family just about cried when they saw my cap, she really did do an amazing job. I actually had made copies of the original (it’s now framed and hanging in my room) and used the copy for my hat, just so not to cut up or damage the original. All my friends, classmates, and family LOVED it. Thank you for making my graduation cap stand out and making this amazing keepsake Lauren!!

Lauren did an AMAZING job! She captured each of my pups personalities perfectly. Lauren was incredibly attentive and responsive. I loved working with her and cant wait to order from her again. If youre on the fence about purchasing custom work from her dont be. Her work is exquisite and worth EVERY single penny. Thank you, Lauren for what you do. Your work is important. These paintings will be treasured forever.

The painting of our dog who we recently lost was breathtaking. Lauren knows how to capture your fur-baby perfectly. We are so happy to have such a meaningful token to display in our house now. And warning for the animal lovers out there...once you receive your package from Lauren, you will ugly cry! Thank you again Lauren!!!

If you want magical, fun photos of your family that you fall in love with EVERY time you see them, then Lauren is the perfect photographer for you. Amazing experience.

“Lauren was so fabulous to work with and was so patient with the kids. Her vision and creativity is unsurpassed!!!”
