Ashleigh Lauren is a La Spezia family photographer offering bespoke sessions: natural, timeless portraits with gentle guidance to reveal emotions and authentic family bonds.
Specializing in family photography in La Spezia and the stunning settings of the Cinque Terre, Ashleigh Lauren brings an authentic and refined approach to family photo sessions. A multi-award-winning photographer with years of experience in portraiture, Ashleigh looks for the beauty in real moments: spontaneous smiles, shared glances, and everyday gestures that tell your story. Why choose Ashleigh? Because she places the family at the heart of every image. Her style blends timeless portraiture with a documentary sensibility: it’s not just about poses, but about creating a relaxed atmosphere where every family member feels welcomed. She works with sensitivity and gently guides clients with simple, natural prompts so that even shy children or reserved grandparents are captured in images that feel like candid glimpses of everyday life. How a family session works: everything starts with a short consultation to understand your wishes, choose the best location, and advise on outfits and timing. On location, Ashleigh favors natural light and local backdrops—colourful lanes, panoramic terraces, or hidden coastal corners—to create portraits that stand the test of time. During the shoot she mixes posed portraits with spontaneous frames, delivering a balanced and sincere gallery. The added value is in the careful post-production: each image is thoughtfully selected and retouched to preserve warm tones and a timeless aesthetic. When you book directly through the website, a small welcome gift is included—extra hand-picked images as a thank-you for choosing a bespoke experience. Beyond family sessions, Ashleigh also accepts related projects on request, such as individual portraits and maternity shoots, all aligned with her intimate and respectful approach. However, her primary focus remains family photography: if you are looking for a family photographer in La Spezia who can capture authenticity, tenderness and that soulful quality that defines her work, Ashleigh is ready to tell your story through images.
