What is the CBL Senior Team?

The CBL Senior Team is an exclusive group of seniors who participate in multiple styled photoshoots, social events, and creative projects throughout their senior year. Being part of this team isn’t just about getting amazing senior photos—it’s about building friendships, boosting your confidence, and documenting the most exciting time of your life through editorial, fine art, and film-inspired photography.

The team kicks off with a fun meet-and-greet event where all the girls get to meet each other for the first time, followed by social events and mini shoots scheduled throughout the year. Past events have included a Paint Party, a Fiends themed shoot, a bestie/bring-a-friend shoot with painted jeans, and even a weekend away for the girls and their moms!


Each senior gets their own customized solo portrait session where they work closely with me to design a shoot that perfectly reflects their unique style and personality. All team members also receive unlimited downloads of all their images, and their individual senior session will be featured on the CBL blog.


What Makes the CBL Senior Team Special?

This program is so much more than just taking pretty pictures. I see myself as a mentor or even a “photography mom” to the girls on my team. We have so much fun at every shoot—laughing, joking, and truly building a supportive community where every girl feels seen and celebrated. By the time we reach the bestie/bring-a-friend shoot, the girls are so comfortable in front of the camera that they basically run the show! It’s amazing to watch them help and coach their friends during the shoots, spreading confidence and encouragement to everyone around them.


Here’s what one of my past team members had to say:

"I just would like to say to all of the girls that get to have this experience that Lauren is literally the best. She’s not just a photographer. I felt like I had somebody that I could talk to, and she was so great with her creative ideas and she’s super patient and kind. I will always recommend her if anyone ever needs their pictures taken. Not only where the pictures beautiful, but the experience and memories shared along this process with Lauren and the other girls was truly something I will never forget.


Each year, the girls on the team become incredibly close, forming friendships that extend beyond the team. We always have a team retreat or grad party to celebrate the end of the year, and each new class of seniors gets to meet alumni from previous years at the meet-and-greet event, where past team members share their experiences and answer questions for the new girls.


Opportunities to Shine

One of the best things about being on the CBL Senior Team is that you have plenty of opportunities to shine in front of the camera. From our multiple mini shoots to your individual session, I make sure to capture your senior year in a way that feels authentic to you. And because the shoots are designed to be empowering and creative, your confidence will grow with each session.

You also get to participate in the CBL Referral Program! For every senior you refer who mentions your name at booking, you’ll receive a $50 refund, which is a great way to offset the cost of your senior experience. However, there’s never any pressure to promote on social media—the girls on my team often share their photos simply because they love the experience and the images.


What Past Members Loved

My past CBL seniors have consistently mentioned how much they loved the diversity and amount of photos they received, but even more importantly, they’ve cherished the friendships they made.

For the Class of 2026, I’m adding even more fun, with additional social events separate from the shoots. I’m also considering working with an amazing hair and makeup team this year! This would be included as an option on your private sessions!
