I’ve known Lauren since we were little tykes running around the playground in 3rd grade. We’ve remained close all these years and have experienced many stages of life together. I got to witness their marriage, standing beside her as a bridesmaid, and now I get to witness them becoming parents for the first time. I felt so honored that they wanted us to shoot their maternity session. Such an important time in their lives that they get to keep forever in photograph.

Lauren & Corey found out earlier in their pregnancy that their little boy, Riley, has a heart defect called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. A rare defect that will need for several procedures including open heart surgery just after his birth. Now that Riley has made his debut, they have had some ups and downs with his health. They are humbly accepting donations, as this is such an expense to their funds. If you would like to donate to help this little family please visit their You Care website: A Heart for Riley.
