An Heirloom-Inspired Creative Shoot

Every so often, I love to stretch my creative muscles by coming up with a fun shoot.  It helps keep me on my game and experiment with light.  Most of all it helps me get into a wonderfully creative rhythm.

It’s funny because this time of year is the time where the messages we hear go a little something like this:

“It’s January… a magical time to refresh.”

— (Seemingly All) Instagram Influencers Everywhere

We’re somehow magically going to ignore the dullness of winter and feel refreshed.  I understand it to some extent… a new year feels like a new chance.  But for me to feel inspired, it requires a bit more intentionality.  A shoot like this always ends up being just what the doctor ordered <3

Imagine my delight when I found these gorgeous Coral Charm Peonies right around the time we celebrated Quinn’s bright & bold one year birthday party.  These beauties ended up getting to live to lives when I paired them with the heirloom china set my great aunt left to me.

Plus, a shoot like this combines my love for interiors, florals, and photo… what more could I want?

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.

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.
