Jenifer & Nick – Maternity Session

Posted September 30, 2012 In Portraits

Jenifer and Nick were the sweetest couple. I met Jennifer through a Marine Wives’ Club here at Camp Pendleton, but had never had a chance to meet Nick until the day we held this maternity portrait session. You could seriously see and feel the love between the two, and they could not stop smiling at each other during the time we spent together.

I am so happy for the two of them to meet their precious baby boy in the coming weeks!

Thank you, Jenifer and Nick, for inviting me to capture such a special time in your lives! I can’t wait to meet your son!

xoxo,

Lauren

Michelle – Steampunk

Posted September 25, 2012 In Portraits

This Steampunk styled shoot was a departure from my typical, natural images, and it was a blast!

Stylist Kammi Long created the session and invited model and makeup artist Michelle Michaels to come! Many thanks to Celeste at Dr. Watson’s Steampunk Odditorium in Oceanside, CA, for the amazing set! If you’re in Southern California and in need of any western or steampunk items or accessories, be sure to check out Dr. Watson’s, adjacent to About Face Tattoo!

xoxo,

Lauren

Welcome Home!

Posted September 17, 2012 In Military

There really are no words to describe the feelings families have when they’re reunited after a deployment. I was honored to be asked to photograph two homecomings recently: one for the USNS Mercy and one for Echo Company of 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines. Here is a little sneak peak of those two, wonderful reunions.

Welcome home to the Sailors of USNS Mercy!
