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! :)

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. :)

The Pacific

Posted May 27, 2015 In Personal

It’s blog circle time with water as the theme! I naturally took to the Pacific for these images, since it’s the nearest body of water to me. Follow along the circle to see my friends’ interpretation of the theme, starting with the fabulous Jacksonville NC Photographer, Alicia Q. Photography!

Diabetes Blog Week 2015 – Day 7 – Continuing Connections

Posted May 17, 2015 In Diabetes, Personal

Welcome back to Day 7 of Diabetes Blog Week 2015! Here’s the prompt for Day 7, Continuing Connections – Sunday 5/17:

The very first inspiration for Diabetes Blog Week was to help connect our blogging community, and that continues to be the most important reason it’s held every year. So let’s help foster and continue those connections as we wrap up another Dblog Week. Share a link to a new blog you’ve found or a new friend you’ve made. Or pick a random blog off of the Participant’s List, check it out and share it with us. Let’s take some time today to make new friends.

I don’t think I can pick just one or even a handful of the new blogs I found by participating in DBW this year! Instead, take a look at the list of participants here and pick one to learn more!

I love reading about the experiences that other diabetics have and also about reading the experiences of parents of kids with Type 1! Reading the parents’ perspective gives me more insight as to what my parents were dealing with when I was a youngster with Type 1, even though a lot has changed in terms of diabetes care since then!

Thanks for tuning in for this year’s Diabetes Blog Week! I hope you learned a little about what it’s like to live with Type 1 Diabetes. :)

xoxo,

Lauren

Diabetes Blog Week 2015 – Day 6 – Favorites and Motivations

Posted May 16, 2015 In Diabetes, Personal

Welcome back to Day 6 of Diabetes Blog Week 2015! Here’s the prompt for Day 6, Favorites and Motivations – Saturday 5/16:

If you have been blogging for a while, what is your favorite sentence or blogpost that you have ever written? Is it diabetes related or just life related? If you are a new blogger and don’t have a favorite yet, tell us what motivated you to start sharing your story by writing a blog?

I don’t think I have a favorite blog post! I post too many gorgeous sessions and weddings to be able to pick one favorite. Most of my posts are not diabetes-related so I share my story typically just for Diabetes Blog Week (DBW). I’m motivated to share my diabetes life during DBW since it’s a side of me that most people don’t see or hear about, even though I’m always willing to answer any questions that people have. :)

xoxo,

Lauren

Diabetes Blog Week 2015 – Day 5 – Foods on Friday

Posted May 15, 2015 In Diabetes, Personal

Welcome back to Day 5 of Diabetes Blog Week 2015! Here’s the prompt for Day 5, Foods on Friday – Friday 5/15:

Taking a cue from Adam Brown’s recent post, write a post documenting what you eat in a day! Feel free to add links to recommended recipes/shops/whatever. Make it an ideal day or a come-as-you-are day – no judgments either way.

This week, my eating has been a little all over the place because of some personal ~~drama~~ excitement. For example, today, I had some coffee and a bowl of Chex for breakfast, a dirty soy chai latte and a fruit cup for lunch, and some potatoes covered in cheese for dinner. My meals are usually pretty simple: eggs or cereal for breakfast, dinner leftovers for lunch, and something easy for dinner.

I have been eating primarily gluten free for a little more than a year now, which has calmed down my psoriasis quite a bit. Unlike many Type 1 Diabetics, I haven’t developed Celiac Disease (yet), but eating gluten free isn’t very hard for me, so it’s worth it.

I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables, and I love a new CSA that I’ve been using since I went to an event put on by my local JDRF office! (CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture, and you can read more about it here!) Farm Fresh to You drops off fresh, delicious, organic produce on my doorstep every other Friday, which definitely helps me keep lots of fruit and vegetables in my diet! Click the banner below if you want to learn more about this CSA and use the code LAUR1363 for $10 off your first order! (I’ll also get a little money off my next order when you use the code.)

My favorite sources of protein are cheese (or other dairy products), peanut (or other nut) butter, and seafood (especially crustaceans)… usually not all together! Let’s be honest, though: I’ll eat a seared scallop any time of day. ;)

Splurges for me usually involve ice cream/frozen yogurt, dark chocolate, or a combination of those. My husband makes awesome gluten-free chocolate chip cookies and I’ll obviously enjoy those when I can, too!

xoxo,

Lauren
