Welcome Home, Travis!

Posted May 08, 2013 In Military

Have I mentioned how much I love photographing homecomings for my fellow military families??

This was my first homecoming to capture at the San Diego Airport, which was a little different than what I’m used to, but no less exciting for the families who welcomed back their loved ones that day! Jill is such a sweetheart and a total super woman, so I was ecstatic to meet her and photograph her husband’s arrival from a long deployment!

Little A wasn’t feeling well the day before Travis’ return, but had a huge smile on his face once daddy arrived! Take a look at some of my favorite images from this amazing family’s reunion.

Thank you, Jill, Travis, and little A, for allowing me to capture these precious memories for you!

xoxo,

Lauren

Amanda & Dom – La Jolla Proposal

Posted May 01, 2013 In Engagements, Portraits

He popped the question and she said yes!!

Congratulations to Amanda and Dom on your engagement tonight! I’m so honored that I was able to capture your proposal in La Jolla with the help of the fabulous Grace of La Reine des Macarons! Grace did a superb job of finding the perfect spot for Dom, and of setting the scene with her delicious macarons! Amanda had apparently been talking about macaroons for weeks, and Dom thought it would be the perfect ending to a dinner at George’s at the Cove. Dom’s cousin, Bill, was in on the whole scheme and helped Grace along the way.

Congratulations again, Amanda and Dom!

xoxo,

Lauren

Texas – March 2013 Edition

Posted April 23, 2013 In Personal

I took a trip home to San Antonio for Easter weekend, and my parents were delighted when I said I wanted to visit Messina Hof when I arrived. I had heard of Messina Hof when I was in college at Texas A&M (whoop!) but I don’t recall ever drinking any of their wines. Let’s just say I hadn’t discovered the deliciousness of a good wine until after my college years. ;)

Well, I heard that Messina Hof started creating bottles to benefit the Association of Former Students, so I clearly had to stop in to see what the buzz was about! I’m glad we made the trip–I have a new favorite white, their Chenin Blanc, and the Legacy Red Blend was amazing. My parents enjoyed their wines as well! Though I could only fit two bottles in my suitcase, I’m sure I’ll be going back for more!

After we enjoyed the wine, we headed over to Alamo Springs Cafe for dinner. I love enjoying a good meal with some live music to go with it!

I was sad to leave Texas before the bluebonnets came up in force, but I’m sure I’ll be back soon!

xoxo,

Lauren

Welcome Home, Kyle!

Posted April 18, 2013 In Military

I was so excited when I got a phone call from Melissa, asking me to document her husband’s homecoming from a long deployment to Afghanistan! I love photographing homecomings because of the pure joy you see in the families’ eyes as their loved one returns from places that are so far away. Melissa and Kyle’s homecoming last week was no different. Add their little cutie to the mix, and I was in heaven! Here are a handful of my favorites from that fabulous evening!
