I could write a million songs about the way you say my name
I could live a lifetime with you and then do it all again
And like I can’t force the sun to rise, or hasten summer’s start
Neither should I rush my way into your heart
-Brooke Fraser, Love is Waiting


Just a tiny peek at what is coming soon…

…because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
- Henry David Thoreau

Normally, I would post a little letter to all of you, but this year, I am writing this to myself.

2011 was a beautiful year. As Michael and I sat in our living room with our champagne and our two furry babies, I have nothing but gratitude for all the highs and the lows… I do not usually post personal things about my life on this blog. Not because my life is so interesting, but just because this is a place where hopefully you come to be inspired and to feel something- a different state of mind. Creating art is a state of mind, a state of being. There is so much PERSONAL in it, and so much of my life and the little joys, hurts, smiles, tears… all these things go into creating. So whatever it is that our images can make you feel, as long as you feel it, that is my purpose. :)

Thank you, 2011, for bringing in new friends, bringing back old friends. For a fantastic and fulfilling career, working with people I adore. For finding film at just the right time, and maybe for it finding me. I discovered new places and new people through my camera. I was brought closer to my husband for reasons that I could never verbalize. I love him more than ever. I fell in love with the art of CREATING- not just for our sweet clients, but also art for myself. I finally freed my vision and I remembered why I love to create. It is something I find joy in every, single, day.

There really is nothing better than the place I am in, right now. GRATITUDE. Immense gratitude.

2012 has big shoes to fill. So excited you are all along for the ride! XO!

Lauren

Here are some of our most recent:
Meredith + Will’s Savannah wedding on the ever lovely Style Me Pretty Georgia.

We were also so thrilled to be picked by Amy + Jocey, the sweet girls of The Wedding Chicks, as one of their handpicked photographers. A huge honor, indeed.

Southern Weddings featured Maureen’s bouquet, done by the talented Brian Watson at Myrtie Blue, in the newest issue, Sothern Weddings Volume 4.

We could not be more thrilled to work with such talented and passionate individuals in the wedding industry!

Tiffany + Jason’s wedding was an amazing expression of love for each other and love for the Lord- as the couple joined their hands, they chose to have a worship service to begin their marriage. Oh, joyful day!

I adore the moment they realized that they are “officially” man + wife! Look at those faces!

Daddy +daughter dances are so sweet. They go from tearful…

…to joyful in 3 seconds flat.

Congratulations Tiffany + Jason- we love you!
