Goals + Dreams

hello october

Well it’s that time again.  Maybe it’s the pumpkin craft I did yesterday, or just the overall cool weather, but I am so thankful its October… and that its feeling like October!!  Fall is by far my favorite time of year and so I could not be happier that it is finally here!!  Right now in our lives as newlyweds, students, and having a job, Morgan and I are insanely busy.  And when I say that, I mean it!  We hardly have had time to think in the last month, so I think that’s part of the reason why most of my September goals didn’t get met.  That’s okay though, it just means reevaluating and setting more realistic goals for this month!

September’s Business Goals:

  • Get featured (check!)
  • Shoot my September wedding well! (check!)
  • Work on finalizing the blog design (I think check? Who knows since I change my mind every two seconds! Haha!)
  • Finish the website (duh, duh, duh! But really, that was an unrealistical goal for this month!)
  • Create a sample album (nope, I didn’t do that one either.  I promise I will soon though! Haha!)

September’s Personal Goals:

  • Hang the wall collage (No :/ but at least I have all the frames now that I want to hang!)
  • Make a cleaning schedule around the house (Half check!)
  • Plan our meals more effectively (Check!)
  • Exercise 5 days a week (This one is just a big fail, haha!)
  • Do more calligraphy (Check!!)
  • Organize our apartment (Check!!!)

October’s Events:

  • The Women’s Retreat
  • Mayson’s surprise party (don’t worry, I didn’t just spill the beans, it already happened! haha!)
  • My calendar is full with engagements, weddings, family, and senior sessions!! Woohoo!!
  • The Hunt, it’s an awesome event that our church puts on for it’s youth ministry.  I’m super pumped about it!!

October’s Business Goals:

  • Work on the website
  • Finish editing/delivering all sessions
  • Shoot all my shoots well!
  • Launch a new blogging series! (Stay tuned for tomorrow folks!)

October’s Personal Goals:

  • Get my life back! Haha! Just make more intentional time with Morgan!
  • Hang the new shelf in the kitchen
  • Work on the wall collage

What are you hoping to accomplish this month?! I’d love to hear about it!!

Wife, mama, wielder of light & joy, and capturer of moments.  I thrive off of conversation and genuine connection.  In between wrangling our kiddos, and hanging my husband, you'll find me dreaming up my next idea or creative endeavour.  It's these things that culminate to give my imagery a warmth and joy to them - the greatest compliment I could receive.

I'M LAUREN

THE JOURNAL

Lauren grew up spending her summers at the shore, and when she and Nick got together, she couldn't help but introduce him, too!  Their session in New Jersey was filled with gorgeous light, sweet smiles, and so much love & laughter.

Jersey Shore Engagement 

Connor and Alli's wedding celebration was full of lush florals, gorgeous details, and a whole lot of joy.  Their first look was one of the most sacred moments I've witness on a wedding day... filled with so much delight and love!

Stone Tower Winery Wedding

One of my greatest inspirations comes from exploring and the California coast fulfills that wanderlust like nothing else.  Anytime I have rolling hills and oceanside views, I'm in heaven.

Nate & sofi, baltimore Maryland

She's the ultimate hypewoman. I was pretty nervous about being photographed and Lauren made everything fun and flexible. Honestly, I can't imagine the day without her and her team. They were wonderful and hearing from Lauren was always a genuine delight.
