Spring Break 2012 | Girls’ Day Out!

We believe in girls’ day.  We believe in dress up.  We believe in Mac Cosmetics.  We believe Oreo’s and Sour Gummies go together.  We believe life is full of beautiful color.  We believe you can never wear too many accessories.  We believe in the magic of Pottery Barn Kids.  We believe in Pink Poodle lips and teal eyeshadow.  We believe in girl talk.  We believe in handbags and satchels.

We believe in family time.

We believe in love.

Happy Spring Break 2012

Addy + Keira

*Thank you, Kathey Irby…for the amazing makeup!*

They literally shopped ’til they dropped!  Gotta love their new little Jcrew headbands and PB Pillowcases (our shooting potato sacks doubled as blankets after Yoforia!)Time to go…

CeCe Hampton - I love it, and I so believe!March 17, 2012 – 7:50 am

Madeline + David | Myers Park Country Club Wedding

“Remarkable beauty…”

They married last year.  I hate to admit it has taken this long to share their lovely day, but better late than never, right?

Madeline and David.  Two crazy-in-love kids that I have adored getting to know.  Eek!  I love falling in love with my clients.  Our journey together started on a chilly, crisp morning in Fort Mill amongst corn stalks.  It was engagement session day!  You see, Madeline LOVES Halloween.  And while we wanted to go full on crazy, we scaled back (for our groom!  Love ya, Dave) and just added in a few bats.  Boo!

Wedding Day was magical.  We arrived to the sight of Lindsey Regan Thorne and her team in full “makeup + hair” mode.  The atmosphere was calm.  It was surreal and blissful.  Madeline soaked up every moment…sipping on champagne (her fav!!) and relishing in the beauty of her special day.

And the rest of the day flowed just like her champagne…smooth, bubbly and deliciously perfect.

I love you, Madeline and David.  Cheers to your almost four-month anniversary!  And a very special thanks to my wing-man, Steve, for partnering up with me on this big day!

Bridesmaids fashion.  DELISH!! 

Sister love!!Oh the moments!Her Mom.  A beautiful woman.  Madeline held her close right next to her. Gotta love great, humorous groomsmen!!A sneak peek before getting backed out of the church.  Yep…as you can see, the church director didn’t allow any photography. A beautiful grand entrance!So in love with Mr. Wear!!  THE BEST FOB EVER!!!Eeek!!  I could just eat him up!!! Happily ever after!

While You Were Out | Lauren’s Guest Post!

“While the boss is away….I will…pla….work!”

Hi Everyone!

KV asked me to do a little guest blogging for her while she is away on her Staycation!

Even though she is away from the studio, I am still here keeping busy with work.

I’ve been answering some e-mails, putting together posts that will hit the blog soon (photo blogs, don’t you worry, we’re back in full-swing with those babies!), archiving and organizing KV’s work and press, and the list goes on but becomes a lot less interesting!

Here is a look of what my week without KV has been like. Sad no doubt.

Thanks for stopping by…

xoxo,

Lauren

1. My Desk: I collect ampersands and have a couple to keep me company at the office. And those are the pens that everyone steals because I’m the only one who has “cool/good” pens on their desk. And a picture of me and my boyfriend Reece at a wedding.

2. Archiving KV’s press from past publications.

3. What I’m listening to. Elton John is one of my Top 5 favorite musicians of all time.

4. If you want to know the secret to our success over at KVP it’s Emerald Cinnamon Roasted Almonds. We’re OBSESSED. Like so much so that we have to ration them out to ourselves so we don’t eat them all at one sitting — not joking at all. And I love a good cup of English Breakfast Tea. I drink it every morning except for when I get SB’s after swimming on Wednesdays (today).

5. What I wear when my boss isn’t in the office & no one is coming in.

6. Who I miss the most right now. Foscoe is my boyfriend’s dog who I haven’t seen in 3 weeks going on 4. I’m currently reading The Art of Racing in the Rain which is about a dog, so it makes me miss that little buddy even more. (I miss Reece too)

7. Bring your baby to work day. I brought in MY Canon to photograph KV’s press.

8. I am in LOVE with Essie nail polish. I should seriously be their spokesperson. I have had A Crewed Interest on since Saturday and have been swimming twice since and not one chip.

9. What I’m eating today. Wassa crackers with hummus and tomatoes. Yummm!

kristinvining - Can you be ANY CUTER!?!?!?! Love this and YOU!. Thanks for holding down the fort. xoMarch 14, 2012 – 5:00 pm

Lindsey Regan Thorne - So fun Lauren!! :) You are the cutest thing ever and now you have me hooked on the Elton John station!!! xoxoMarch 14, 2012 – 5:08 pm

Megan - Well if that doesn’t make me want to fillow Kristin’s blog I don’t know what does? On a further note, if that doesn’t make me miss my Lauren I don’t know what does!! Glad you’re having such fun work days!March 14, 2012 – 7:43 pm

Robert Krumbine - I miss you girlie! Glad things are good.March 14, 2012 – 10:27 pm
