Queenstown, New Zealand exploring the south island

Oh man… how do I even begin this post?  How about with, if you ever get the chance to go to Queenstown, New Zealand, do it in a heartbeat.  By far my favorite part of my entire trip was exploring and adventuring my way through this beautifully quaint town.

When I think about how to describe Queenstown, it begins to remind me of a smaller downtown Quebec, except for the fact that it has mountains surrounding it and the most beautiful glacier tops you’ve ever seen.  Not to mention that it’s additionally one of the adventure capitals of the world!  While I was there I had the opportunity to experience a helicopter ride to the top of a glacier and I got to bungee jump off of the 11th highest space in the world!

Now before you go off thinking that I was super brave to have gone bungee jumping, my friend Caitlin and the video of it, can greatly attest to the fact that I was most definitely scared.  In fact, Caitlin’s favorite part of our little adventure (besides the jump itself) was the fact that I screamed before I even jumped and then stopped once I actually had jumped.  But the convincing sign in the bungee jump shop said “Go Big or Go Home” and in that moment I knew I had to honor my childhood hero, Johnny Tsunami.

Anyway, without further ado, I’ll let you enjoy my new favorite place in the world! Happy Thursday, 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.
