Black Owned Businesses in Orange County, CA

Updated: Jul 28

My name is Lauren. I am a mother, a photographer, and I support Black Lives.

I have set out to support the local black community with my skill set which is photography and writing.

I have put out a call to all black owned businesses in my area, and I am offering free photo branding sessions, completely free. No strings attached. Truly, I just want to help. Whichever businesses that decide to work with me will receive all the best photos from our session, fully edited and delivered via online gallery for use on social media and website.

I am a storyteller, and it is my aim to tell these stories and to get the word out about these businesses- even if they don't end up working with me!

Here is a list of all the businesses that I found! I know there are more! Please let me know and I will update this list. And if you would like to work with me, please email me here.
