The Traveling Swanns Los Angeles & Catalina

Catalina Island - Los Angeles, California

Last week, Morgan and I popped away for vacation to Los Angeles, California. The purpose of our trip was to visit our sweet friends Lucas and Catherine who live there. The locals gave us a tour of the city and it was so fun! I also got to visit my sweet friend Stacee, who I met in New Zealand! She took us to the most delightful pie shop in arts district and it was so good. I’m still daydreaming about that chicken ‘n’ cornbread pie! While we were in LA, we also went to the opening weekend for the SkySpace LA slide. How often do you get to slide down a glass slide 70 floors in the sky?! After a few days in the city we hopped on a ferry and headed to Catalina Island! While we were there, we ate delicious food, kayaked, and snorkeled! It was so fun to just relax on an island for a while! After a busy spring and beginning of summer, it was just what Morgan and I needed!

« Hello July

back to post index

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.

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.
