Iiley + Holly a cozy maryland winter engagement session

 

Since the first day Holly emailed me, I have been so excited to meet her and Iiley!  These two have an incredible story and I love that I get to capture pieces of it!  Iiley and Holly met when they were young at their youth group, just like Morgan and I did!  They’ve been together ever since, even when Iiley moved to the west coast with his family for college!  Now they spend as much time as possible on their visits to each other, and then once they’re married, they’ll finally get to be together in Portland!  Iiley and Holly, you two are some of the sweetest people I’ve ever met!  I loved spending time getting to know you.  I can’t wait for your wedding in May!! Enjoy some of my favorites!

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!

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.
