Dan + Rachel Eastern Shore Anniversary

When Rachel first emailed me, I could not be more ecstatic about her news – she and Dan were expecting their first sweet little babe, and she wanted to celebrate this season with an anniversary session!  I remember when they first started trying and so this was such a fun surprise!  I did have to warn them ahead of time though that they may have to remind me to photograph the babe too, since that’s not normally my style, haha!

We met at Terrapin Park with Rachel’s mama and their two pups, and we set off for the beach.   Because Dan and Rachel love the beach so much, this made the perfect spot for them!  After spending the evening with them, I can just tell that these two are going to be the best parents… the beauty of motherhood just radiates from Rachel’s face already and Dan is going to be such a great dad!  I love everything about this session, and I have entirely too many favorites to choose from, so enjoy today’s extra long post!

Dan & Rachel, thank you so much for trusting me with the task of capturing this season for you two – it was such an honor and a privilege.  Plus, I’m going to go ahead and officially cast my vote – I think you’ve got a baby girl coming your way!  Enjoy, friends!

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.

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!

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.

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.
