Magen and Tanner

While I was in Lubbock last week I decided to go ahead and reserve a day to photograph my sister and her husband since it had been a year since I had done that! Tanner is the kindest, funnest guy around and all he and my sister do is laugh and kiss.

Laugh and kiss.

I photographed them at their home and then we went out to an empty sticker field (Lubbock doesn’t have much else to offer in the nature sector) before grabbing a snow cone at Bahama Bucks. Tanner and I eat sweets together because Magen is a dietician and only eats natural, gluten free meals all day… every day. He likes when I come to town, we double up on sweets together.

The Barnards

These are my lovely nephews and niece along with all of their “barnyard”, backyard animals. Dandy the Duck, the 4 chickens (I was just introduced to Butterscotch and the one eyed chicken, I can’t remember the other girls’ names!), and Foster the dog. The session was fun, crazy and awesome all at once! Marla, my-sister-in-law, thought that the kids weren’t cooperating with me, but I assured her that I got some INCREDIBLE photos of the kids. It was true! I’m realizing that almost every session seems chaotic to the mom, but I am always able to pull out some really great photos of the kids. Here are my favorites of my seldom photographed family!

Katie and her mom had me come out to their beautiful farm in Edgerton, Missouri Saturday to photograph her senior photos. Katie is fun, bubbly and confident and it really shines through her photos! I had the best time traveling around their farm and seeing all of the different beautiful areas to take pictures, it was a photographer’s dream! Here are my favorites from her senior session!

Luke and the Freemans

It is really crazy that Luke is about to be a senior. It makes me feel old. I need to get used to this feeling though, because next year is the big 3-0 for me and I’m not stuck at 19 anymore like I’ve felt like for the last ten years. I met Luke 9 years ago after I married Josh, these are his cousins! I’ve seen them grow up from kids and it is just really weird that he’s graduating. Really.

They came up from Bartlesville, Oklahoma last weekend for me to photograph their family/Luke’s senior session. We hit up the local Stone Canyon Pizza in Parkville and then drove down to the Westbottoms to finish the session up. I hope your last year in High School is amazing, Luke!

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.
