Lauryn | headshots!

I am so thankful for all of the people I have gotten to know through photography…sometimes when I get discouraged by my business because it’s so much work or because I get overwhelmed, I like to think about some of the people that the Lord put in my life through it…It makes me look at the bigger picture of life and it fills me up with so much joy when I think about my “photography friends”..becuase really they’re so much more than that and the impact that they’ve had on me over the past year is HUGE!! And Lauryn is one of those people…

She’s so authentic and caring and humble..When I first met her, I thought she was super sweet and had a really cute voice..ha! And I also maybe thought she was a little bit quirky (in a really good way!!)..and I think her brand and business reflect that..but after getting to know her and see how she runs things, I think that the heart behind her business is what makes what she does so amazing..I think the foundation of her business rests on her caring heart, her authenticity, and her humility…

Lauryn was the second person that I ever second shot with…I definitely owe a lot of what I know to her!! And I’m so incredibly thankful for her and don’t think I would be where I am business-wise without her influence!..so you can imagine that when she asked me if I’d take her new headshots, I was THRILLED to do it!!

I hope you enjoy some of my favorites from the shoot! (I love you Lauryn!!!)

Ahhh! Isn’t she the cutest??

I really love this one…

So so pretty…I would also like to add that Lauryn has the most FLAWLESS skin..It’s not fair…

Love these…

She rocks the glasses..but looks just as great without them!

The funny faces of Lauryn..hehe..love her!

FAVORITE!!!

cute cute cute!

We couldn’t resist a few more with the trolley…

pretty girl…
