Part of being a business owner and really a human is always wanting to improve, better yourself, and push forward.  In reality, it’s a great attribute to want to be better.  But sometimes being better makes you greedy too.  I need this or that to make me better at my __________.  Guys, it warps our hearts and our minds when we let that ugly green giant called greed take over.  My heart was warped by greed.  That’s why I started doing the Instagram challenge called #100daysofhappy.  It’s a challenge in which you are intentionally identifying each day something that you’re grateful for.  You stop for even just a minute to find something awesome about your life!  For me, it was just what the doctor ordered!  I needed to take a good look at my heart.  More than a quarter of the way through the challenge, I can feel it changing the way I think about things.  Its changing my daily approach to life.  So if you’ve ever found yourself in similar shoes, I hope you’ll join me on this journey!  It really is amazing!  Happy Friday!

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.

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.
