Welcome Home, Eric! – USMC Homecoming

Posted March 24, 2014 In Military

Photographing this specific homecoming was such an honor. You may perhaps recognize Betty and Eric from this post from 2011, when we first met. Or this one or this one from last fall. Perhaps you saw Betty in one of the many sessions we did last summer! No? Ok, nevermind. :)

These two are some of the sweetest Nebraskans I’ve ever met, and though I’m so excited that Eric returned from his final deployment last week, I’m saddened that they’ll soon be making their way back to the land of corn fields and goldenrod flowers. Eric has been deployed multiple times–several as a Sailor and twice as a Marine–and I know he’s happy to be back in Betty’s arms for good!

Here are some of my favorites from their St. Patrick’s Day reunion!

Welcome home to Eric and all of the Marines and Sailors with 3/1!!

xoxo,

Lauren

Paul & Rich – Japanese Friendship Garden Wedding

Posted December 15, 2013 In Weddings

Have you ever been to a wedding where everything just feels right? You can tell that the two tying the knot love each other so much and both had been waiting for this day their entire lives? The support from the families involved is clearly evident and the day goes so smoothly that you’re afraid to sneeze, causing the event’s only ripple?

Paul and Rich’s wedding day was just like that.

Arriving at the Japanese Friendship Garden in Balboa Park, guests were in for a true treat: a gorgeous, love-filled ceremony and a partying reception to last the night. When Rich sang his vows to Paul, there was hardly a dry eye in the garden, and the love didn’t stop there. Paul and Rich’s celebration was simply perfect.

A huge congratulations go to Paul and Rich! Thank you so much for allowing me to capture your wedding day!

xoxo,

Lauren

A session with HeartsApart.org

Posted September 30, 2013 In Military

It has been a while since I’ve posted a session done as a photographer with HeartsApart.org. Giving back to fellow military families is so awesome, and I absolutely love HeartsApart.org’s mission: “to keep families connected while our military men and women are serving abroad.” Photographs are such a powerful way to be comforted when we’re apart from our loved ones. Each image seems to trigger a different emotional reaction and I have definitely cherished the images I took with my husband before he deployed. :)

Here are some favorite images from a recent session photographed for HeartsApart.org.

Richard & Paul – UCSD Engagement

Posted July 31, 2013 In Engagements

Richard and Paul spent a lot of time around the campus of UCSD while they were dating, so it was only fitting that we capture their engagement session there. Paul thought the gorgeous Stuart Collection statues would be a fun backdrop, and he was so right. We visited Richard Fleischner’s La Jolla Project, William Wegman’s La Jolla Vista View, and the surrounding areas one afternoon, celebrating their love and upcoming wedding!

Thank you, Richard and Paul, for allowing me to capture these images of your love!

xoxo,

Lauren
