Monday’s Mash-up

A big, huge hello from Scottsdale, Arizona.  I’m here for a photography conference this week and I’ll try my best not to blow up your phones with Instagrams of this desert dreamland… but no promises!  I headed out here yesterday and had a blast grabbing food, and well sleeping.  Haha!  Anyways, its still Monday and here is this weekend’s recap.

  • Thursday night, I headed to downtown Ellicott City for JD + Sarah’s engagement session! You’ll get to see more of them on the blog tomorrow (yay!)!!
  • Friday into Saturday, Morgan and I went camping with some of friends at Greenbrier State Park.  It was great except for the fact that I woke up about every thirty means due to cold feet.  
  • We also attempted to make cinnamon rolls over the fire… #fail.
  • Final lesson of the weekend, jumping from 32 degrees in Maryland to 85 in Arizona is not as hard as I thought it would be.  We’ll see if I say the same thing when we jump back home later..

And without further ado, the best part, the sneak peeks:

    I’m about to do a similar jump to warm weather this weekend. Let me know how that jump back goes. I’m dreading it! These are gorgeous, I can’t wait to see more, Lauren!

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.
