Ryan + Lauren Washington, DC

Oh where to begin with these two?! When Lauren and I were nailing down the final details for meeting for their engagement session, she simply told me that they wanted to have fun and lots of laughs during our session and boy did we! We wandered around D.C. and captured some of the final days of this season of their life: engagement!

These two have such a joy when they’re together… it’s like nothing else matters when they wait in each other’s arms.  As we toured the capital of the nation, it couldn’t have been more clear that these two were meant to be! And the best part? You’ll get to see these two again on the blog in a few weeks for their wedding day!!  I hope you enjoy a few of my favorites!  Happy Wednesday!

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.

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.
