i love them

I have been wanting take pictures of my best friend and her baby Navy, for a while now...
So on Saturday, we got together and took some fun shots!
It was so much fun!
I even recruited Ted to be my helper, and it was so wonderful having him with us.
He would hold all the props and hold Navy when we were shooting pictures of Lindsay and Dano.
Here most of the pictures, the rest can be viewed on my photo blog in the next couple days, along with the photos I took of Mauri, last weekend! :)


1. The Happy Family {Lindsay, Dano & Baby Navy}

btw, I think it's cool that you do so many cool things despite how busy you are! Nice work on the photos!

Lula! said...

I love alllll of them.

But...and you know I'm going to go there...
Why was Lindsay embarrassed during the smooching shot? I mean...baby Navy is proof that...well...you know. Ahem.

These are fabulous, and when I come to visit you, I want you to take pictures of me and Heather. We want to be hot goth twins, like The Veronicas, sitting in mud in prom dresses, drenched in pearls and dirt. We have it all planned out.

Seriously.

You can make mud pies with us, too.

p.s. I love you.

Lauren said...

I love pictures of families on railroad tracks! Those are my fav. Well and the one's of the girls. And the one's with the frame... and the artsie one's... hmmm I think I love them all!!

Kate said...

#12 wins for me but they are all amazing.

uhski said...

Wow! You are so talented. I wish I could do something cool and be artsy like you. I'm so jealous because that gene definitely skipped me and overindulged all 4 other of my brothers and sister. Numero 10 is my favorite! Soooo cute. =]

Lindsay and Dano said...

LULA,

Your right! Everyone must know that we do more than kiss! Haha maybe I should be more affectionate in public!

Kristina P. said...

Gorgeous! It doesn't hurt having amazingly beautiful subjects.

I really want to have pictures taken of me and my husband. Now I just have to wade through the world of photographers.

RCaitlin said...

They all look really good! I have to say the second to last is my favorite though! It's so different and creative!

Callie said...

Emily said...

They are all pretty great. I especially love the all-girls ones.

Katie said...

They are all so fantastic! They were so lucky to have you photographing them! I love following your adventures in photography. My favorites are when you use really interesting props like the chair, balloons, or frame. Fantastic. Now I'm off to check out your photo blog.

Laynee said...

They are all SO cute! You did a great job! But, I think 20 is my favorite though...

Rachel said...

I love your photographs! The next time (or *THE* time) I need a photographer, I'd love to fly you from wherever it is you live to wherever it is you live just because I *LOVE* your photographs and the style! For real! I never say that about photographs! But seriously... you have an eye for photography!

tharker said...

So impressive!! They're all so darn cute! My two favorites are the first one of Lindsay and her husband holding hands on the train tracks, and then I love the one of all of the women in her family.

Great work!!

Megs & Wyatt said...

Darcel said...

That was so much fun!! Thanks daughter #3 you are the best and so talented. I love every picture!!

Amber W. said...

I love your photography! Are you self-taught? I'm just getting into the whole photography thing, myself. I'd love any advice/tips you could shell out!

Tori :) said...

Really great pics Lauren. I like #17.
Maybe I'm stupid, but what do you do with pics if there's no heads in them? I'm being serious. I'm not artsy or anything, so what do you do with them, because I've seen lots of shots like that on other photography blogs and I'm like "Eh?" So, fill me in! lol

Marissa said...

WOW! Great photos!!

Marianne said...

I don't have a favorite...I love them all!! You are so talented! I hope you go into business for yourself someday.

The chair on the rail road tracks is very cool.

I can't pick just one picture. They are all great.

As I was looking through these I was trying to pick my favorite, but I just couldn't there are so many good ones. Seriously, you definitely got a photographer's eye. Love it!

Emma said...

I feel sooo left out!!! When you come to Utah please take pictures of my and my hubs in provo town!! :) PLEEEEEEZE? This is Aimee, your old dance buddy...nudge, nudge. I would so pay you. Just name your price. :)

neffie said...

Those are gorgeous photos! What type of camera do you use? Do you do manual or auto settings? Do you get your looks in post production? I'm experimenting in photography but I'm scared to venture into portraits but I want to so bad!

I have several favorites, but I'm really digging the first one. I LOVE the chair in the middle of the railroad track.

Megan Haney said...

17 is my favorite!

Mauri said...

I love all of them! But as you know, I'm a big fan of railroad ones. I'm so sad we didn't get to take any there :( Maybe another time! Such a cute fam!!
