Real Talk

Hi sweet friends! Good morning!! The thing that I’m blogging about today was not originally on the blogging calendar. I didn’t know that this would be what was laid on my heart this morning.  Lately, I’ve been getting a ton of compliments on my travel photos and how awesome it is that I’ve gotten to travel so much lately.  I couldn’t agree more! I’m so fortunate and so grateful for a job that allows me to see and experience things in new ways that I never have before.  You look at my instagram feed and you see that my life looks perfectly curated.  The truth is, that more times that not, it’s not all daisies and roses!  It’s also, just that… curated!

Yesterday, I sent an email to a sweet friend that I look up to in the industry when she commented on one of my posts.  I told her that I had a little fan-girl moment when it happened! The way she responded?  She simply said, I’m just a regular chick doing my thing over here.  I just love that, and I feel like its something we need more of in the industry.  It was the perfect humble, yet confident response.  It was also authentic.

Authenticity is something that we crave as humans, and I’m going to make a better effort to adhere to that.  Here’s to making Tuesday a day of authenticity, 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!

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.
