Paige & Chris – San Diego County Fair

Paige and Chris met up for a fun and colorful engagement-style session at the San Diego County Fair last year! I love everything about this session–the style, the color, the love between them.. it is just perfect. :) This session was one of the portrait swaps I participated in with a handful of other military wife photographers in San Diego, featuring the beautiful Paige of Paige Prior Photography, and her stud muffin of a husband, Chris.

Paige is a genuine sweetheart and it was SO fun to get her and her husband dressed up in vintage attire for this photo session inspired by The Notebook. I (still!) haven’t seen the movie, though I did read the book a few years back, so Angie and Paige took the reins on the styling! They did a swell job!

Betty at the Beach

Here’s another fun, collaborative photo session we did last summer at the beach here in Oceanside! Kammi White worked her magic on Betty Kunz‘s hair while Shelley Gleave provided the make-up artistry. The ideas for the session were all Kammi, prompted by her green lipstick, and I love the way it turned out! Here are a few favorites.

Swimming with my Camera

I went swimming with my camera again last night!

To those who say there is no winter in San Diego: try going swimming in February!

Getting in the pool took some convincing from my friends and fellow photographers present, Grace-Marie Brunken and Robby Ticknor. Our fabulous model, Paige Prior, is more fearless than I am and didn’t hesitate to cannonball into the deep end! We tried a few passes in the pool, started noticing that our speech was slurring a little since it was so cold, and decided to jump in the spa instead. The 98-degree water felt like it was burning our skin for a few minutes before we got used to it, and then we spent the rest of the afternoon photographing in there instead! I got some fun images in the spa, but I’ll share those later!

Here’s my favorite image from our time in the cold pool!

San Diego Underwater Portrait Photography by Lauren Nygard

We decided we’ll wait a little longer before trying underwater portrait photography again!

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!

xoxo,
Lauren
