I've known Lauren since we were really little—maybe 1st or 2nd grade? Honestly I can't remember. We went to the same schools—Elementary, Jr. High, High School. Within our little friend group we were "Lo & Jo", at times completely inseparable, and as we grew older, she went off to study at Berkeley, I stayed in Santa Cruz to pursue an art degree, and as this life often moves too fast, we fell out of touch. When Lauren sent me a message on Facebook a few months ago asking if I was available to shoot her wedding, I have to admit, I was SO EXCITED! You all know that feeling of seeing your old and dear friends from a far on Facebook, as they get engaged, married, and start creating little ones—that feeling of "wow, I'd love to see him/her after all this time!" I had just seen news of her engagement to Chris, and was already excited for her, but getting that message meant the world to me. I can't wait to see her in her wedding dress, her dad walking her down the aisle—I feel so honored that these two choose us to be a part of their big day!

And on top of all that, Lauren and Chris are a gorgeous couple! We went out to Wilder Ranch for their engagement session, and it couldn't have been a more perfect day (or more perfect location!). It was a rainy weekend, but it cleared up just in time for us to take advantage of Wilder's coast-meets-western vibe. (Aren't we spoiled with locations out here in California?!) Here are my favorites from the day.
Enjoy!
Sethers + Love,

I had my TL a little more than a year ago when my third child was born via c-section. I was not told ANYTHING about the possible side effects of having this procedure. Since then I have experienced heavy bleeding lasting sometimes 3 weeks out of the month, weight gain, severe mood swings. Severe cramping, changes to my libido, severe depression accompanied by suicidal thoughts, headaches, migraines, many new symptoms & older issues are now exacerbated. The father of two of my children doesn't want me anymore. I've become too much of a pain in the ass I guess. We don't talk. We don't sleep in the same bed. I think he might really think I am crazy... & maybe I am. I feel crazy a lot of the time.
ReplyDeleteI'm unpredictable. I feel so angry about the whole thing & now what was once a mild fear of doctors has exploded into full on white coat syndrome that causes me to have a panic attack/hypertensive emergency (severe increase in blood pressure) whenever I have to deal with them. I'm not sure what to do... I fear the next time I have to see a doctor I'll have a stroke or a heart attack from the stress & anxiety of it... what do I do? I take my time and keep searching on internet looking for natural healing that how I came across Dr Itua herbal center website and I was so excited when Dr Itua told me to calm down that he will help me with his natural remedy I put my hope on him so I purchase his herbal medicines which was shipped to my address I used it as prescribed guess what?
