Hello December! Hello December!

Lauren R Swann PhotographyIt’s the most wonderful time of the year!  December is an absolutely wonderful month with lots of fun things coming!!  There’s decorating for Christmas and I can’t wait to share how we’re decorating our apartment this year!!  I used to be a Scrooge when it came to Christmas… but now I’ve been burning a candle that smells like an evergreen tree since October!  To say I’ve been looking forward to Christmas this year is an understatement!  I even got overly giddy when I heard my first Christmas song of the year on the radio yesterday!  Ah!  Well without further ado, here are December’s monthly goals and happenings:

December’s Happenings:

  • This month is a huge month for birthdays in our family!  I joke and say that it’s a prerequisite to marrying into the Swann family that you have to be born in December… My birthday, Papa’s birthday, David’s, and Elizabeth’s are all in December!
  • I’m looking forward to baking cookies this year for Christmas!  What’s your favorite kind of Christmas cookie?
  • Plus, there’s only 31 days left until Josh and Elizabeth get married!! Yay!!!

November’s Goals:

Business Goals:

  • Take new headshots.  These definitely need updating! check!
  • Shoot my sessions well! check, as apparent by the photo above!
  • Make this month’s blogging calendar! check!
  • Catch up on business paperworks! check!

Personal Goals:

  • Keep up with my contentment challenge! check!
  • Eat healthier! I was good until the week of Thanksgiving!
  • Exercise twice a week! Nope… that was a fail!

December’s Goals:

Business Goals:

  • Meet my booking goal for next year… I’m a little over halfway there!  This is not necessarily a goal just for this month!
  • I have some serious catching up to do on sending out packages! These need to all get out this month!
  • Work on indoor photography… I want to be better at capturing details indoors!

Personal Goals:

  • Keep up with my contentment challenge
  • Eat healthier until Christmas/my birthday
  • Keep up with Jillian Michaels’ Shred three times a week!
  • Get all the decorating up and blogged!

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.
