She’s the perfect Wednesday mood 😍

 

Happiest of birthdays to our very favorite guy!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
@morganaswann wears a lot of hats in our household… (literally, with his 850 ball caps and ski hats & figuratively, too!)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He is…
✨ Dada
✨ Babe
✨ the fixer
✨ the one who always makes things fun
✨ the one who miraculously brings my plants back to life without me knowing
✨the dogs’ favorites
✨ the one who makes it all happen
✨ the one who keeps up with everyone
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
…above all he serves our family with everything he does! We couldn’t be more lucky that he’s ours 🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Grateful our kids get to grow up with such an incredible example to follow in him! He truly is the best!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Happy birthday babe! We love you and adore you!!

 

 


 

One of us* is more thrilled than the other that we’re less than a week away from vacayyyy!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
*hint: the one of us who has been asking to “GO TO THE BEACH, WOOHOOOOO 🎉🎉” since June.

 

 


 

Four months of wrangling these two cuties together 😍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our #SullivanJamesSwann turns four months old today, and I can officially confirm that “the days are long but the (*months*) are short” is an adage that is feeling more and more true lately.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So grateful for our laidback little man! Sully, you bring us all so much joy! ✨

 

 


 

I’ve been reminded a lot lately what a gift that this little, handsome guy is! He is smiley and laidback (when he’s not teething, which is never these days 😅) and his whole face lights up when he smiles.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These last 5 months have been trying in lots of ways, mostly just with the state of the world currently 😅, but our little fam continues to be the bright spot ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
#SullivanJamesSwann I can’t wait to see who you become 🤍

 

 


 

Grateful doesn’t begin to cover it ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Heading out of town for one of my last weddings of the year, so I will be missing this crew mucho. Don’t be surprised if you find me scrolling through all of the pics @kimberlyfdenn took of us during a little photo swap last week 😍

 

 


 

1️⃣ Happy Halloween from the Princess & the Frog!!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2️⃣ … and from the cutest construction cone crew I’ve ever seen! #cousincrew
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3️⃣ #ReeseAdalineSwann’s face when we told her that she was a princess instead of a queen 🙈😳
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4️⃣ Proof of Mom & Dad! Thanks Uncle Ben!

 

 


 

6 months of you —
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sully J, you are full of charm, squeals, a whole lot of teething, and mischief, too — always smirking while your sissy is fussing. 😂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I can’t believe we’ve already had 6 months of you. You somehow feel like you’ve been a part of our family for forever and at the same time I could swear you just arrived yesterday. My lap is full these days, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
#SullivanJamesSwann, you are the best gift, bud… even if you pooped on our comforter during your photo op. 🙈😂 #RealLife

 

 


 

Grateful for these turkeys and for *you*!!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On Small Business Saturday, I would be remiss not to pause and say the sincerest thank you for all of your support! I‘ll never have enough words to express my gratitude that I get to capture memories and moments for my *job*…⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thankful, thankful, thankful 🤍

 


 

My one New Year’s Resolution: a quick monthly family pic!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We’ll put it in the win column that I’m still on track after month #1 🎉
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨✨✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve been laying low a bit on Instagram catching my breathe after the holidays and the whirlwind that was 2021, but wanted a permanent internet web for some of these mems:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1️⃣ – 2️⃣ — We picked the dreariest, coldest, rainiest day, but these pic with my favs in the attic has me feeling grateful 🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3️⃣ — If you were one of the people whose Christmas cards I just found a STACK of (that never got delivered— sorryyyy), you missed these cuties on the back. “All is (not) calm, but all is (definitely) bright!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4️⃣ – 5️⃣ — Christmas Day Highlights: Morgan’s friend gave #ReeseAdalineSwann a pink Porsche and she could not be more pumped. Also, matching pjs on Christmas ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
6️⃣ — the *real* highlight of Christmas was the Elsa dress that Gramma got Reesey. Safe to say she will *not* be letting it go anytime soon. 😂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
7️⃣ — More matching pajamas because COME ON. 3 pairs is not too many, right?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
8️⃣ — Celebrating 8 months of #SullivanJamesSwann 😍🤍

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.
