How to beat Lux as Seraphine: the early game

Levels 1-3 are Lux's: her point-catch Q root and longer-range E zone your poke and threaten burst, so hide behind minions, dodge the Q, and don't feed her a root to combo off. Her root reaches further than yours and sets up more behind it, so never share a line with your carry. Keep the notes building off the wave, shield preemptively, and hold your own root for the moment hers has already been spent rather than trading rotations.
