a couple of weeks ago, after throwing up...i went out in the 110 degree weather and took photos of one of my best friends, shawnie, and her husband luke.
they will be celebrating their 2nd anniversary this november...
and they are so so so cute.
these photos happen to by my favorite photos i have ever taken.
it's probably because they are such a beautiful couple.
i ♥ you shawnie :)

now for the SURPRISE!
since i had so many people enter my contest, i decided to draw THREE names :)
and the winners are...
Melissa and Philip
Erin (and her sister Kylie)
Chelsee and Scott Bingham
Can you believe i wrote out every single piece of paper and folded them, and drew the names out? It was awesome. NOT.
Anyway, congrats to the winners! Contact me and we will get something scheduled!

And congrats to the winners! That's so exciting! I wish I lived near you so I could have entered haha.
I can attest to the names on paper too. I sawll it.
And that's plenty from the annoying girl also known as connie. Three comments, gawsh.
Ooohhhh, my favorite is the one where they're standing in the window holding hands. *love*
And all your friends seem to have great fashion sense... lol.
Lauren, I just want to let you know that I think you are an awesome photographer! I love reading your blog and looking at the awesome pics you take! Keep it up, girl! You rock!
-Courtney Spencer

these pictures are amazing!
ummm...you're awesome.
just sayin'...
i cant believe i won something! ooah!ooah! :) im so excited! this will be so cute.
Lame!!
I never win anything!
Man...Lauren promise me that the next time you take California by storm you will photograph me!!! I will fork over my hard earned cash for some of your fabulous photos!
Congrats to the winners!!! :D I'm so sad I didn't win....but that's ok :) I actually came up with the brilliant plan to do family pictures for my parents christmas gift...I'll be contacting you shortly ;)
I love that last one where he is holding her up by her bum!! So cute!
You seriously have a great eye Lauren.
These really are great pix of a great couple!! my *favorite* is the one where they're on the stairs and they let the balloons go and you see a reflection of a couple balloons in the window :) s-w-e-e-t!
xoxo
SHUT. THE HECK. UP. Seriously? I cannot wait! Um, but can we wait until the weather isn't weirdy and unpredictable and until my hair grows out of the semi-awkward stage? And can I pay you to do my hair and make up? Ha ha, just kidding on that last one...kind of. But hooray! Thanks so much! I'm thinking maybe like late September/early October? Are Saturdays best for you? Then you tell me when and we'll do it. Philip works every other Saturday, but I'm sure we can figure something out!
Okay, that was me that is normally just Mel. Didn't realize that I was signed in wrong. And I still am because I'm lazy. Like as in Mel of Philissa.
Okay, I'm back as my normal self. Sorry to monopolize the comments as well. Buuuut, I just realized that I might have sounded really demanding when I commented on your last post! I hope you didn't feel like you had to "randomly" pick my name or else I would kill you in your sleep or something. Just throwing that out there. I'm grateful, and super excited, and not too demanding. Sorry if there was any confusion.
amazing photos!
loved the colors!!
really cute photos. as usual.
Those pics are really beautiful!
I especially love the one with the faded colour, where the colours aren't as bright (don't really know how to explain that, lol), I think they're kind of dreamy :)
I LOVE THEM! If I can possibly choose a favorite, it just might be Shawnie's closeup with Luke in the background! Gorgeous! :)
Your pictures are gorgeous!
the pictures are beautiful, as usual! and congrats to your winners!
You do beautiful work, and if I lived anywhere near Mesa (or AZ for that matter) I would drag my cute little family to your doorstep and not leave until you took our photos. Okay, so I wouldn't be that obnoxious, but I'm just trying to say that I love your work ;)
By the way, why did you throw up?
ok, I am so jealous of the winners haha now I'm just going to actually have to pay you some day to take some fabulous pictures of me and my hubby! I love these pictures by the way.... I love the colored one with the balloons but can't see their heads. the colors are amazing! You are so good!
P.S. how much do you charge for a session and how do I contact you?
besides on here of course!
So cute! Congrats to the winners. I LOVE the last one--I just had my sister take some similar ones to that and it was inspired by that one:). Good work!
ok your pics are so cute !!!! Ok i want to know your prices!! Caz i would like to have you take my christmas photos for our christmas cards!! let me know just some time before December !!
GREAT pictures!
Love her shoes!!!
Congratulations to the winners!
okay. i had to come post this.
random...but so funny.
elle bee, you were in my dream last night.
yes, i know. crazy. maybe because i read your blog just before bed? idk.
but in any case, you were there in my dream.
we were friends but we got in a fight.
and not just a "i'm not talking to you" kind of fight.
a REAL fight.
punching, kicking, pulling hair...you even tried to push me down the stairs. oh yes.
i woke up in the middle of the night and just starting laughing.
what the...?
pure entertainment.
Lovely-photos!
Beautiful couple!
You rock as a Photographer!
Sorry you threw up!
Congrats to the winners!
They are lucky!!
boooo I didnt win.
Beautiful photos! Bummer i didnt win.. will you do my wedding. we should be bff!
Great photos! You did awesome, I don't know how they are not appearing to look as if they are hot! 110 is horrible!
Actually I meant to leave that "adorable photos" comment on this post. Instead it sounds like I love photos about zits. Oh wells... you can see I'm torn up about it.
Anyhoodle, when I force you to show me how to take those pictures, I'm also going to force you to show me how to make my hair behave as both you and shawnie have done. Seriously. Do you have to live in AZ to get curls like that? Life can be so cruel...
I'm so excited. Lauren you are awesome!
Awesome pictures, they are a really good looking couple. Probably one of the cutest I've ever seen.
So. Depressed. Now I'll have to save some pennies and actually PAY you. ;o)
Also - don't know if anyone already told you - next time you do a drawing, just use random.org. Plug in how many comments you have (1 through whatever), and it will automatically draw one. Much. Much easier. You can even do some funky blog tinkering and have blogspot number your comments, so you don't have to count.
FYI!
These pictures are AMAZING.
Oh these photos are beautiful. SO BEAUTIFUL. You're a very talented photographer. Great job.
That picture of her in the foreground and him in the background is gorgeous. My fave, for sure. Great job!
You are seriously a great photographer. I wish I lived closer so you could take some amazing pics of my cute kid.
cute. i love balloons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
