World Travels Kiev, Ukraine

 

Right now, the headlines of the news are booming with details of the protests going on in Kiev, Ukraine.  The crazy thing about it is that as I was looking at the intense photographs of the protesters in the capital city, I remembered where they were standing.  You see, a few years ago, I had the privilege to be a part of a team that traveled to Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine.  Our first stop of the trip though was in Kiev.  It’s a surreal moment when you know exactly where those people are and where they are standing because you have been there too.  I’m so grateful that I have images from that I could spend the morning reminiscing about.  So enjoy a few favorites from my trip.  Note: I didn’t take most of these photographs!

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.
