Lauren: Class of 2020

Meet Lauren!

She is the bomb.com. I had such a blast getting to chat with her for an evening. Loring Park was the perfect location: we got flowers, grasses (scroll to see our make-shift prairie), and we even wandered around the sculpture garden. AND we got the best of both worlds: part of her shoot was overcast (hello rich tones) and part of her shoot was bright and sunny. The radar had said storms, so we definitely lucked out. Sometimes Minnesota’s temperamental weather has its perks :)

Anyway, let me tell you about Lauren. She is:

• Delightful + down-to-earth

• Bright

• Independent

• Humble

• Self-assured

• Passionate about biology and zoology — sooo cool!!!

• BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Also, we bonded over our mutual love for “dad” music — queue alllll the U2 and Pink Floyd :) That’s a first for me at a senior session.

Lauren, I hope you have an amazing rest of your senior year. You are a brilliant, incredible human and I know that God has amazing plans prepared for you. Keep dreaming big and believing in yourself.

Lauren: Class of 2020

Meet Lauren!

She is independent, artistic, musical (a flutist and a harpist!), a writer + mathematician, a selfless + generous volunteer, heckin’ stylish, multi-faceted, feminist, a yogi + boxer, a leader + courageous initiator, passionate, and an extremely dedicated + hard worker. Talk about a well-rounded, unique lady boss!

I mentioned she is stylish. I’m also gonna add ‘shoe queen’ to that. I am still not over the amazing bright magenta heals and suede pink boots she wore. I mean, check ‘em out. I was seriously obsessed!!

For her location, Lauren had two simple requests: floral and secluded. A harp isn’t exactly the most subtle photo prop, so in our best interest, we thought a rather private location would be best! I recommended a location for Lauren that I’ve been to many times, and that almost always been completely uninhabited by other visitors. (The Perennial + Border Gardens in Lyndale Park!) I got to Lauren’s shoot a little early, and to my surprise, found several people holding what looked like tourist guide signs. Turns out, the Minneapolis Garden Club was touring the gardens at the same time of Lauren’s shoot. Like what are the odds?! Nonetheless, Lauren and her intricately beautiful harp did great despite there being some passersby :) Even when things don’t go entirely as planned, it always ends up working out. Every single time.

Go take your future by storm, Lauren! I can’t wait to see all you do with your passion and strong work ethic. The sky is your limit!
