Springtime in Coastal California on Film

Hi sweet friends!  Can I get a heck yes for the weekend being almost here?!  I don’t know about you but I am certainly grateful that tomorrow is Saturday… though the fact that it’s Friday means that I get to share a new “create” post with you!  This is equally as exciting!  For those of you just tuning in, I use Fridays on my blog as a platform to share my latest artwork (besides my typical photography) as a way to keep myself and you inspired!  Today I’m excited to be sharing some of my favorite film scans from our road trip to California!  Enjoy a few of my favorites! I hope it brightens your Friday!

  6. Oh cool! California is my home state, moving back this July. Southern CA not Northern. I always loved the shape of the trees along the coast, they bend all these weird ways from the winds.

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.

"Lauren made everything fun and flexible."

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.
