LAUREN & WES / RALEIGH, NC

It is always such an honor to receive requests to capture memories from people you met at the age of 3. Lauren and I have known each other since preschool. I feel when you grow up and live in Raleigh you have those people in your life where you follow the same path for a while and they become part of your story. We went to the same church growing up, the same preschool, the same elementary school, and to the same middle school. Also countless birthday parties, and endless sleepovers caused us to be great childhood friends. 

When I got an email from Lauren, I couldn’t believe after all these years of life after middle school, I was a person that she wanted to capture her special day. So I met her lovely Wes and we walked through downtown Raleigh in the frigid air. It was so much fun catching up, and seeing them together was so natural and good. Thankful for a windy afternoon, good light, the need for cuddles. So thrilled for these two and the new journey that lies ahead, and the opportunity to rekindle an old friendship ( I actually found they are practically our neighbors, because things go full circle, and it's a small world after all ).
