Happy New Year 2016!

Posted January 01, 2016 In Film

This year, I’ve been inspired by Joyce Kang (and her article on Little Bellows) to photograph a 365 project on film.

What’s a 365 project? A 365 project can vary depending on the artist, but, in short, it’s a daily journal expressed in photographs. I’m intending to create at least one photograph every day using an analog format (35mm, 110, or 120 film, or using my Instax or Fuji instant film) and also posting one photograph taken on analog format to my Instagram account. Technically, this year, it’ll be a 366 project, but I’m not counting. (Yay leap year!)

Since today is January 1, I photographed (and will post, as soon as I complete this blog entry) the following photo on my Instagram account.

Because film takes a while to develop, I’ll be starting this year with a mix of instant film and a few photos taken last month. Once my developing schedule catches up, I plan to post images mostly sequentially through the year, though, save for instant photos, they obviously won’t be posted the same day that the image was taken.

Join me on Instagram to follow my year in photos, and let me know if you’re starting one as well! :)

xoxo,

Lauren

The fundraiser will take place at my studio in Carlsbad Village from 9am until 1pm on Saturday, November 14. To secure your spot now, simply make your contribution at http://www2.jdrf.org/goto/ln. I will then email you with your appointment time options. The suggested donation is $100 per image though the minimum donation will be $50 per image.

Here’s the address for the studio:

3095 State Street, Suite F

Carlsbad, CA 92008

Why JDRF?

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which a person’s pancreas loses the ability to produce insulin, a hormone essential to turning food into energy. It strikes both children and adults suddenly and is unrelated to diet and lifestyle. It requires constant carbohydrate counting, blood-glucose testing, and lifelong dependence on injected insulin.

Millions of American adults and children are impacted by type 1 diabetes (T1D), and I am one of those people. I was diagnosed with T1D at the age of 4, and, every day since then, I’ve struggled with the enormous burden of this disease.

JDRF is the leading global organization funding research that transforms the lives of people with T1D. We want a cure, and we won’t stop until we find one. Along the way, JDRF continues to drive scientific progress that delivers new treatments and therapies that make day-to-day life with T1D easier, safer and healthier.

Will you make a donation right now to help create a world without T1D?

Thank you!

Moody

Posted September 30, 2015 In Personal, Portraits

These images were inspired by a topic for a blog circle. We were asked to show moodiness through our lens, and I got together with Nicole and Grace to create these images using a smoke bomb! These images are a departure from my typical light, airy style, and were so fun to create!

Check out Washington DC Area Wedding Photographer, Angela Powell Woulfe, Photographer’s moody images here, then follow the links to see everyone’s work until you get back to my blog! :)

Fine art portraiture from San Diego portrait photographer Lauren Nygard

Our amazing model, Kristi, had her hair done by Erica Fellows and makeup by Erica Nicole Taylor. The first few images (through the smoke) were taken on Portra 400 film using a Nikon F100, and developed and scanned by North Coast Photographic Services. :)

Dad was gone for too long before making his long trip back to California. After being stuck en route for what seemed like forever, he was free to come home! His family was anxiously awaiting his return and is so relieved that he’s back!
