If you've been with us for a while, you know that any as much as we show our "work" (aka weddings etc.) on our blog, we always try to share Haydn's big life moments =) ....and in this case it was her first Halloween costume!!  FYI...you can thank Lauren for this one.  I wanted to make her a baby zombie but obviously, that didn't work out haha.  Instead...for her first Halloween, she was Cleopatra =)

Being the smart parents we are, we didn't bring cash so with what we scrounged up in our pockets we came up with a total of $8...just enough for some funnel cake and much needed H20...HaydnHalloween_blogged07.jpg

Finally before we called it a day, we went to go see the cool hot air balloon.  Was it awseome looking? Yes.  Did we want to wait in a long line for it? No But was Haydn amazed?  Yes she was...

Oh and just in case you were wondering why Haydn wasn't smiling in, oh umm, all the pictures...haha..it's because she just woke up....another smart move by us. =)  Don't worry, we'll get it right eventually!

This past weekend, after getting the chance to assist Apertura with an AMAZING wedding at the Langham Hotel in Pasadena Saturday, we headed off to Palm Springs for the first time in a looong time!  Needless to say, we came away loving the small little town and it's Mid Century Mod styling throughout.

I decided to go on a visual hunt to capture the palm trees that liter the streets of small town as well as more random stuff that caught my eye...so with the beautiful blue skies...it happened to be one fun little project =)

Oh and, I had to throw in some pics of Haydn of course! =)  Happy Monday everyone!

Powerlines are cool...

Haydn sticking her tongue out is cool...

But Haydn who always tries to grab my camera even with her broken arm wrapped in a cast, is way cooler =)

Palm Springs...We'll be back!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On a side note for clients interested in booking us for your wedding next year, we've made some sweet awesomness additions to our Wedding Collections so stay tuned!  Did someone say Albums in every Collection??!!  Say WHATt??!!!

For those that can't wait, that are probably sitting at work wondering or bored (it's only 10amish!) or who'd rather just plan their wedding, shoot us an email at weddings@johnlauren.com.  We'll be in touch!

It's been quite a while since we've last blogged but we'll be back in the game soon enough with much to show and write about!

In the mean time, Lauren managed to actually get one of our first videos of Haydn caught with one of our Canon 5D MKII's on the web soooo...for all our past clients who've been itching to meet her, here she is! =)  The video is a little old as her hair now is a little longer and she also rolls like nobody's business but that's why this is just part 1!  I've been dying to do a post of some of our favorite shots of Haydn and that's what Part 2 will be about so keep checking back in!

Enjoy!

We're heading East folks! and we can't tell you how excited we are.  I wish we could say it's for a wedding but its not, its simply a chance to get away while we could.  Actually, it was Lauren's Daddy's day gift for me because she says I'm always talking about "getting away".

When we get back we'll be blowing up the blog with a wedding, family shoot, some portfolio work and of course, images from our trip so keep an eye out next week...but we also have some exciting news to share!! All coming soon enough!

We'll leave you guys with a few images we snapped during our last trip to NY back in 2007...have a great 4th of July everyone!!
