About Me
Lauren de Freitas
Hello! I am Lauren de Freitas of eLollipop Photography!
I am a KZN Midlands Based qualified Lifestyle Photographer. I grew up on a farm in Underberg, KZN, South Africa. I am so blessed to have grown up in such a beautiful environment and it truly is what kick-started my passion for photography. I now live in Howick KZN with my beautiful family and am a proud mother 2 two sons, Caleb & Conor.
In studying Photography at Vega, Pretoria I was able to find my unquenchable passion for People, Fine art, and Food Photography. I truly believe a photograph is filled with so much love, beauty, passion, and happiness; each and every special moment needs to be captured. I love capturing Life’s blessings from the smiles, laughs, and tears all as it happens. It’s the small moments that count. I love the attention to detail and seeing the beauty in everything!

So, where does eLollipop come from? Well… it is an old 1970s South African Movie. Also known as “Forever Young, Forever Free”. E’Lollipop is a life-changing story that reminds us of the true value of friendship, community, sacrifice, and family. It is such a beautiful movie and I have always been so inspired by it! Thus I decided to call my photography business “Elollipop Photography”.
