Lauren is a Professional Photographer and a lover of all things Art, Design, Fashion, Animals, Nature, Wine, and, most of all, Beautiful Imagery.  

She has been a professional portrait and branding photographer for over 13 years now, and her everyday goal is to make people look and feel amazing and see themselves in the best way they ever have!

Over the last 13 years, she has had the opportunity to create some amazing shoots in fashion, branding, boudoir, family, maternity, newborn, engagement, and Weddings, and she has a strong background in Studio work.

Sitting on top of Buderim Mountain, the Buderim Tavern provides public, lounge, and private bars, an outdoor beer garden, a drive-in bottle shop, and a 125-space car park with million-dollar views. The original tavern included a sunken lounge bar, where the bistro now resides, named after the Tavern’s biggest and most vocal objectioner, Sylvia. The bar was known as “Sylvia's Bar,” a cheeky addition by the owners who changed it shortly after opening.

Operating for more than 30 years, Buderim Auto Service pride themselves on caring for you and your car with the attention that only a family business can provide you.

Go in and have a coffee with Jenny, chat to Lance about his passion for off-road adventures, and make sure you ask Luke about his latest car project, a true mechanic through and through.
