Monday’s Mash-up

Good morning! I’m back in full force on the blog this week even though I’m currently away at our church’s camp this week.  I’m so incredibly excited to share all of the fun images from our vacation last week on the blog, but for today, I’m just sharing some iPhone sneak peeks!

As per usual, I’m also giving you a quick wrap-up of all the fun things that transpired over the past week:

  • Sunday, we arrived in the beautiful Puerto Rico and had fun finding our house for the week: Villa Familia! We unpacked, shopped our groceries for the week, and planned out our days! Plus, we made sure to make our way to the beach at our resort!
  • Monday, we went and had a beach day at a private beach called Punta Tuna.  Who would’ve thought that we would have the whole beach to ourselves! #somebeachsomewhere
  • Tuesday, we headed out on a catamaran boat called the Spread Eagle II to explore Icacos Island and snorkel all the reefs! It was such a fun day and the crew was awesome!
  • Wednesday, we had a late breakfast and then headed to El Yunqué rainforest! We got to see a gorgeous view from the top of the mountain after a long hike uphill!  That evening we did a tour of the Bio Bay in Fajardo! Within the bay are little plankton that glow when they’re touched! It was so fun!! According to my sister-in-laws, it felt like a Disney ride or fairy dust! If only I had pictures to share!
  • Thursday, was another beach day at Las Palmas del Mar! It was a great day for relaxing!
  • Friday, we explored Old San Juan and the fort El Morro.  This city is full of charm and seems like Charleston with a Spanish twist! So fun!!

Phew! I hope you’re still with me! These are just a few iPhone photos, but I can’t wait to share more with you on the blog tomorrow and Wednesday!! Stay tuned friends! Happy Monday!

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.
