Monday’s Mash-up Christmas Highlights

Behind-the-Scenes_0182-1024x692

Hi there sweet friends!  Welcome back to the daily grind of Monday!  For those of you lucky enough to still be curled up in your pajamas with your loved ones, I’ll admit I’m a little jealous of you!  The holidays are always some of my favorite times of year, but this year in particular was so fun and special.  Being surrounded by so much family and so many friends makes me so grateful for this life I have and of course for the people in it!  Anyways, without further ado, here’s a little remix of what happened this weekend:

  • Morgan and I had six Christmases this year spread throughout the weekend!  So glad we got to see everyone!
  • Favorite treat: Christmas morning Morgan and I always bake cinnamon rolls and eat them in bed.  I know that we just started celebrating Christmas as a married couple last year, but it feels good to carry on traditions!
  • Favorite gift: My sister bought me the movie Frozen and then a picture frame of the two of us when we were little looking at each other.  On the outside of the frame it said, “Do you want to build a snowman?”  I loved it!
  • Favorite activity: Friday night we celebrated Christmas with Morgan’s mom’s side of the family.  After we were done eating and opening presents, we somehow turned our little gathering into, essentially, a workout competition which include: walk-out pushups, wall sits, balancing, and even the worm.

There was so much more that we got to do and experience this Christmas, but those are just a few fun highlights!  I hope you and your family had an absolutely lovely Christmas!

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.

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.
