ABOUT MINDFUL CREATIVES
A COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO IN THE ADELAIDE HILLS.
We work with Australian businesses whose imagery no longer reflects the business they have become.
That might follow a new product launch, a rebrand, a website rebuild, retail expansion or a change in direction. We create commercial photography for products, people and brands, beginning with where the imagery will be used, who needs to see it and the role it needs to play within the business.
Each project is developed around the business behind it, from the visual direction and shoot planning through to the final crops, formats and files required across websites, ecommerce, marketing, advertising and retail.
Alongside our commercial work, Rapid Sessions offers Friday photo sessions for founders, creatives, and small teams who need current headshots and brand imagery. Our Adelaide Hills studio is also available for hire by photographers, creators and businesses needing a dedicated space to make their own work.
From our studio in Meadows, we work with businesses all over Australia to create imagery that reflects where they are now and supports where they are heading next.
Lauren Edmond
Founder, Visual Artist & Creative Director
I’m Lauren, photographer, visual artist and creative director. I’m also probably the most curious person about your business you’ll ever meet.
I always wanted to be an illustrator. Before I could write properly, I was drawing cartoons, characters, and worlds. I studied graphic design and advertising, expecting that to be my future. Instead, I found photography.
Over the next 15+ years, I worked across design, branding, print, photography, video, and animation. Looking back, every role added another layer to how I think about visual communication.
By the time I co-founded Mindful Creatives in 2019, I had built a creative toolkit that extended far beyond photography alone.
Today, I bring all that experience into every project and work directly with every client from the first conversation to the final gallery.
When you book Mindful Creatives, you get me and everything I’ve spent the last 15+ years learning about brands, marketing, visual communication, and photography.

Ivana Moore
Creative Assistant
I’ve been obsessed with all things creative for as long as I can remember.
When you step into the studio, I’ll be the one setting the scene, styling the perfect backdrop, tweaking wardrobe choices, and jumping in for those last-minute hair or makeup touch-ups. Basically? I’ve got your back, so you can show up, shine, and feel your best on shoot day.
When working with products, I am always finessing and cleaning dust and fingerprints, measuring out spaces and helping to refine every composition.
