August’s Picks

Have any of you ever heard of an Xanga?  When I was in middle school it was the cool way to blog.  I used to design themes for it and create my own posts frequently… maybe that’s where my love of blogging started!  Every post would start with a few questions: current mood, currently reading, currently watching, and currently wearing… plus whatever else you felt like sharing!  I was thinking back to those posts just the other day and it sparked the inspiration for this post (and series).  As this is my own personal journal for work as well as for myself, I’ve decided to start sharing my “picks” for the month.  Some of my favorite things I’m loving as the month progresses or things I’m looking forward to.  It includes my current reads, clothing favorites, etc.  So without further ado, let’s kick it off with August’s picks!

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.
