i love her dimples and her laugh. she is creative. driven. motivated. she has an uncanny ability to bring people together and to care for those around her in a way that is authentic, honest and loving. she gives. she shares. she connects. and she loves a good old fashion chili cook-off. what’s not to love about that? AND she’s from texas.

she is lauren.

we ventured out to gaviota for an anthropologie inspired shoot. sara truppo even came along and we made quite the trio. let’s just say we laughed a lot. we frolicked through the hills, wandered the streets of solvang in search of “kringles” and finally dined on mexican food in santa ynez. we sipped fresh agave margaritas and dreamed up ways to change the world. THEN, we got kicked out of the restaurant because they wanted our table even though there was no one waiting and we were only there for 1.5 hours or so. not cool. so we laughed about it the whole way home. and now we love to say to each other “remember that time we got kicked out of dos carlitos?! rude!”. and then, we laugh. good times with such good friends. this is my life.

and this is her photo shoot.
