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!

Not sure if we're ever going to find a couple with more in common with us as a whole (which means, Haydn included) than these hip cats...the Pratt Family.

When the Pratt's first called us to shoot their family portraits little did we know that a week later we'd be sitting with their family and friends at their daughter's one year-old birthday party.

You know, Lauren and I pray every year and once in a while in between, that we'd meet bestest bestest bestest couples ever and with the Pratt's, God definitely keep His prayer answering streak alive! =)

To the Pratt's...you guys are awesomeness times the square root of cool.  We're honored that you chose us to shoot your family portraits and we hope you love them as much as we do!

In addition to our NEW BLOG which btw has our updated Tweets! (are you following??!!)...

FINALLY!!!!  We can officially announce that JOHNLAUREN.COM is live!!!
splashpage1_bloggeda.jpgAfter over two years (yes, two years!) our website is up and running!  We're still making changes so if a few of the links don't work, just know they will soon.  We have a TON of images to go through and upload but it'll be complete sooner than later.  AANNDDD...

If you haven't noticed already, we also have new logo!!...
JohnLaurenLogo.jpgAfter much deliberation, we thought it was time for a new look and feel to our brand.  We wanted a logo that was clean, simple, modern and creative.  So after many variations, different looks and ideas, this version fit the bill.  Part of the challenge was finding a logo that both Lauren and I really liked because just like when we're shooting, there's always different perspectives.  But, like always, we found something that works ;)

So, when you have a minute, check out our new site, johnlauren.com and feel free to drop us a comment below to let us know what you think!!

This week we'll also be posting a new wedding slideshow and some other work we've got ready to reveal and not to mention our photos from our NY vaca...so check daily!!

Happy Monday everyone!!

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!!
