Photo Hoarding & Super Powers — Our Fall Family Photos

I often joke that I’m only sentimental when it comes to photos.  There aren’t too many things in my life that I would have a hard time getting rid of… but photos…  they’re the things I could hoard.

It’s because photos have super powers as my 2.5 year old would say.

One of the powers of a photo is that it transports you back in time — exactly to how you were feeling in that moment.

This fall, we were blessed with these photos of our family from the amazing Courtney Dueppengiesser.  She gave me the gift of getting to be a part of these memories instead of trying to orchestrate them myself. (Though, admittedly, we take pretty good remote-control/tripod photos! lol!).

Our kids are at precious ages… almost 5, 2.5, and 1.  They’re growing so fast and I know I could blink and they’d all be headed to middle school.  So instead, I’m soaking up chunky cheeks, giggles, the leg rolls.  It’s just pure delight.

Now don’t get me wrong, photoshoots with three kids, especially taken during nap time on Day Light’s Saving Day, did not run entirely smoothly.  I think that’s what makes it perfect though <3

As a surprise to no one, I had the hardest time narrowing down these images to find my favorites.  #PhotoHoarder    But I wanted to share a little peek and to catalog these images here on my real-life journal.

 

Happy Tuesday, friends!

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.
