Hi, I'm Lauren! Welcome to my blog! I'm a Maryland wedding and portrait photographer that loves beautiful light and has an obsession with the water. This is my pretty little place to show off all of my most recent photography adventures and the stories behind them. So get comfy and have a look around!

Natalie’s Bat Mitzvah {Maryland Event Photographer}

Ten Oaks Ballroom Natalie Bat Mitzvah-17

Last month I had the honor of starting my 2015 season off with this awesome family by celebrating Natalie’s Bat Mitzvah.    We started the day before her service for some formal shots at the B’Nai Shalom of Olney.  I absolutely love seeing the family dynamics of all the great mitzvah families I work with and this family is funny, youthful, and full of love.  And I can’t forget to mention how blown away I was when Natalie was a total natural in front of the camera…..she broke out this high fashion model shoulder shrug move and I was done for…..love this girl!!  The next day, the party was held at the Ten Oaks Ballroom and they did such an amazing job transforming the space into a perfect girl’s bat mitzvah party.  Lounge areas of white sofas complete with pink, purple, and teal pillows were the perfect compliment to the rest of the Andy Warhol pop art inspired decor of custom soup can flower vases and lamp shades with Natalie’s photo on them.  And Natalie’s party dress…..just wait until you see how amazing it is!!  I had such a great time….thank you guys for making me feel like part of the family for a day!  Congratulations Natalie!!!
