📸 **Bittersweet Announcement – PCS to RAF Lakenheath! 🇬🇧✈️**

It's official — our family is headed across the pond! We’ve received orders to **RAF Lakenheath, United Kingdom**, and we’re so excited (and a little emotional) to begin this next chapter. Castles, countryside, and new adventures await! 🏰🍃

With that said, I’ll be wrapping up my photography bookings here in **Clovis** by the **end of November**. It’s been an absolute honor capturing your memories over these past **3 wonderful years**. So many of you started as clients and became friends — even family — and I’ll forever be humbled to have been your “chosen gal” behind the lens. 🖤

Thank you, truly, for trusting me with your moments — big and small. I hope our paths cross again someday, whether in front of the camera or in this small (and beautiful) military world.

If you’ve been stationed at Lakenheath before, I’d love to hear your tips and recommendations — send them my way!

Here’s to new beginnings, lifelong memories, and hopefully finding some amazing tea. ☕😉

I am absolutely overjoyed to share that I now officially offer Fresh 48 sessions! 📸✨

I just completed the most delightful session with a beautiful family, and I can’t help but swoon over the intricate details and tender moments we captured! Each tiny yawn, little finger, and soft coo is so incredibly precious. In respect of the family's wishes for privacy, you may notice that some faces have been blurred; your comfort and trust are my top priorities, and I’m always more than happy to accommodate any special requests regarding your images.

I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to this wonderful mom for entrusting me with the honor of capturing these unforgettable memories, especially during a time when her husband was away on military duty. Being part of such a pivotal moment in their lives was truly special, and I feel privileged to have been invited into their world. 💖

These Fresh 48 sessions are designed to beautifully document those first precious hours after birth, capturing the raw emotions and stunning details that make each newborn unique. If you’re interested in booking a session, or simply want to know more about the experience, please don't hesitate to reach out! I’d love to connect and create some magic together! Let's celebrate the beauty of new beginnings! 🍼✨

| Maternity Session | Part Two 🌷

This particular session was truly one for the books—we had to reschedule multiple times due to tornadoes and stormy skies, and we were almost out of time. However, we decided to seize the moment, even with the clouds hanging low. And I couldn't be happier that we did!

And then, after the storm cleared, magic unfolded! We found ourselves amidst an adorable field of flowers, bursting with color and life. The sun peeked through the clouds, illuminating the blossoms and casting a soft golden glow around us. In that serene setting, the joy and anticipation of their growing family felt even more palpable, capturing the essence of this beautiful journey. The vibrant blooms seemed to dance in the breeze, mirroring the love surrounding this incredible couple as they prepared to welcome their little one.

If you’re looking to capture your own special moments—whether it’s a growing bump, a family milestone, or just a season of life you want to remember—I would be truly honored to help tell your story. Beautiful memories shouldn’t break the bank, and I’m here to offer heartfelt images at a price you can afford. Let’s create some magic together! 💛

Still smiling from this beautiful extended family session during golden hour ✨💛

It was such a privilege to capture these sweet memories in celebration of their parents’ 30th wedding anniversary — *three decades of love!* 💍 Surrounded by children, grandkids, laughter, and so much love, it was such a joy to photograph all the different families, each with their own personality and warmth.

Some even traveled from different places to be here, which made this session extra special. Thank you for choosing me to be part of such a meaningful milestone — it truly means the world. 💕

If you’ve got family visiting and want to capture the whole experience together, feel free to send me a message! These are the moments you’ll never regret having photographed — the big hugs, the belly laughs, and those fleeting in-between glances that say *“we’re so glad to be together.”* I’d be honored to help you preserve them. 📸

| Maternity Session | part one of two✨

Maternity sessions forever hold a special place in my heart. There’s just something so magical about capturing the glow of motherhood and the quiet excitement of what’s to come. This particular session was one for the books—we had to reschedule multiple times due to tornadoes and stormy skies, and we were nearly out of time. But we decided to go for it, even with the clouds hanging low. And I’m so glad we did!

Despite the gloomy weather, this beautiful mama-to-be shone brighter than the sky ever could. Her gentle grace and the love in her husband’s eyes made every frame feel warm and full of emotion. It reminded me why I do what I do—freezing these fleeting, tender moments in time so they can be cherished forever.

If you’re looking to capture your own special moments—whether it’s a growing bump, a family milestone, or just a season of life you want to remember—I would be truly honored to help tell your story. Beautiful memories shouldn’t break the bank, and I’m here to offer heartfelt images at a price you can afford. Let’s make some magic together. 💛

🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July.

Freedom looks like barefoot kids chasing sparklers under a sky that’s bursting with color. 🎆

It’s sticky fingers, wild laughter, grass-stained feet, and no rush to bed.
It’s the kind of night they’ll remember — loud, bright, and just a little magical. ✨

But behind every firework is a reminder: this freedom was paid for.
With courage. With sacrifice. With lives laid down so ours could run free. ❤️

This weekend isn’t just an extra day off.
It’s a chance to honor the weight of what we’ve been given — and the joy of watching our kids live it out. 🤍

So let them stay up. Let them be loud. Let them be wild and small and free.
Because these are the moments we’ll look back on. 💙

And this — this is what freedom looks like through my lens. 🇺🇸

🌅✨ Dreamy Moments with a Beautiful Family ✨🌅

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing a wonderful family during a magical golden hour session, and let me tell you, it was everything! The perfect sunset weather provided a breathtaking backdrop, creating an enchanting atmosphere that brought those dreamy feelings to life. 🥰

From the tranquil moments of reading a book 📖 together to the sweet delight of watching bubbles 🫧 float by, every interaction was filled with love and joy. Those giggles, tender embraces, and carefree spirit truly captured what it means to be a family. It was a reminder of how beautiful these fleeting moments are and how capturing them creates lasting memories. 💛

As I looked through the lens, I could feel the warmth of their love radiating. It’s moments like these that make my heart swell! It was an honor to witness and document the genuine connection, laughter, and playful spirit that make a family special.

If you’re looking for a golden hour session, I’d be honored to capture those magical moments for you too! Let’s create some unforgettable memories together! 💖📸

🎉🎈 Happy 2nd Birthday to Lauren Joyce Photography! 🎈🎉

Cue the confetti and pop the bubbly, because this biz baby is TWO! 💁‍♀️✨

Two whole years of chasing golden hour, fixing flyaways, climbing things I probably shouldn’t for the perfect angle (worth it), and turning your precious moments into forever memories.
I mean… how iconic is that?

To my ride-or-dies — clients, friends, fam, fellow mamas, military and everyone who’s cheered me on, booked me, referred me, hyped me up, or simply said “you got this” when life was throwing curveballs — THANK YOU from the bottom of my sparkly heart 💖 Y’all are the reason I keep doing what I love (even when I’m editing at 1am in a messy bun and leggings that are more coffee than cotton at this point ☕👖).

This journey hasn’t been all sunshine and lens flares. Between juggling military life, kids on set (yes, they’re basically assistants now), and shooting in everything from drizzle to desert heat — it’s been WILD. But I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Every chaotic, beautiful moment has taught me something and made me better. Stronger. Sassier. And definitely more waterproof. 😅💪

From first birthdays to surprise proposals to just-because-you’re-hot photoshoots — being part of your memories is the biggest honor. I seriously tear up thinking about how much trust you’ve given me. 🥹

So here’s to the next chapter — full of creative chaos, loud laughs, bold colors, dreamy edits, and SO. MUCH. LOVE. Let’s make more magic, more memories, and maybe a little mischief too. 💛📷✨

With so much gratitude and just the right amount of glam, Lauren J 🫶🏼
