Meet the Team
Lauren Zamora Shelzam
Photographer
Frances Sato
Producer
In her spare time Lauren likes to shoot film, entertain her rambunctious
kitten Ripley, and go for long hikes with her husband.
When not spending time obsessing over the planning of a successful photoshoot, Fran enjoys relaxing at home, hanging out with her husband and their “too smart for his own good” German shepherd, Herschel. (Husband and dog are listed in no particular order.)
