Wildflowers Workshop in Austin

I just got back from a weekend trip to Austin for Joy Prouty’s family photography workshop. I left Lubbock excited to learn technical information about her camera settings, but came home realizing that there was a lot of work that needed to be done in my heart to fully engage the people around me in a sincere way. She is the most gentle, inspirational, humble person I’ve encountered in a long, long time. Her words threw bombs over walls that I didn’t even know I had and I found that I was in tears several times because of the love and humility that she pours out through her life. She sent us home with a list of books to inspire and lift us up about our worth, vulnerability and reaching into your soul to find who you truly are and create the most beautiful art from that place. It was so unexpected and refreshing.

I am wide eyed and hopeful about the work ahead and how it will propel me into another level of art and creativity through the deep understanding of gentleness and who I truly am at the core. I thought I knew, but her kindness and honesty disarmed me and made me realize that I can be so much greater in every way. Thank you for that Joy. 2016-03-07_00012016-03-07_00022016-03-07_00032016-03-07_00042016-03-07_00052016-03-07_00062016-03-07_00072016-03-07_00082016-03-07_00092016-03-07_00102016-03-07_00112016-03-07_00122016-03-07_00132016-03-07_00142016-03-07_00152016-03-07_00162016-03-07_00172016-03-07_00182016-03-07_00192016-03-07_00202016-03-07_00212016-03-07_00222016-03-07_00232016-03-07_00242016-03-07_00252016-03-07_00262016-03-07_00272016-03-07_00282016-03-07_00292016-03-07_00302016-03-07_00312016-03-07_00322016-03-07_00332016-03-07_00342016-03-07_00352016-03-07_0036

 

The Davis Family Lifestyle session

I’ve always wanted to photograph Tami’s daughters… I mean, seriously, they are the most beautiful tweens ever! They had me over to photograph the things that make their family unique and the details of their daughter’s lives, and like always, the session brought me to life with creativity! Thank you guys for trusting me to come into your home and into your personal lives and photograph the memories that you never want to forget!

Fun Dip, Paint and Mud

Being a boy mom, and with a really laid back personality myself, I have learned to let go of perfection and embrace the mess. My kids are rarely clean until we are about to slide open those automatic minivan doors (I never want to live without them) and enter public, and that’s when we frantically look for the wipes and smear their faces with them. Boogers, dirt and food are a fashion accessory in this family (at least when I’m the only parent home!).

When I was 12 I began to write an autobiography that i titled,

"Lauren Lee, a horse of a different color".

 

 

From childhood Self discovery, storytelling and curiosity have always been the foundations of my heart.

 

 

The exploration of everything in life has always allured me farther and farther into risk, creativity and wonder. I have always been one to swim up stream and carve out a life that was a little bit unique from the status quo.

 

 

I harness all of these gifts and brings them to you through my photography experience. My keen eye for uncommon beauty, fearless sense of adventure and strong willed endurance and optimism provide you with the best possible photos.

 

 

Seemingly Effortlessly.

 

 

 

I hope you enjoy the colorful photos, stories and adventures that i share with you!

 

We have just uprooted from our hometown of Lubbock, Texas to move to Dripping Springs!

 

I am still taking sessions in BOTH locations as I travel back and forth to visit family. Follow my social media and subscribe to my newsletter for my latest travel dates.
