I know you've all been wondering... what in the world have you been doing with your time Lauren? Jeeze? Alright, so the truth is, my designer and I have been working hard building wedding albums. Also, I just counted, and I photographed over 35 portrait sessions in the last 5 months, which is a ton, considering I only work 3 or 4 days a week (because I am a mommy) not to mention 16 weddings! The good news is, I absolutely LOVE what I do and all the wonderful people I get to know and work with.

I thought you all might enjoy viewing the first drafts of wedding albums we've designed.

Thanks everyone for you patience. I always say, good things take time.

My parents, Scott and Deb Brown own a store called The Base Camp. There are actually 2 stores, one in Billings, one in Helena. I was so fortunate to grow up having the best clothing, footwear and outdoor equipment that we got to test out... all of the time. I spent my childhood skiing, hiking, backpacking, camping, skiing and boating with my family in Montana and throughout the Northwest. It was an amazing way to grow up!

Now, as an adult, I am fortunate to get to work with and for my parents, helping with photography and advertising. We've (I say we because I can't help but take ownership of the beautiful store my parents have created) been doing some great print ads, emphasizing footwear. We are carrying lots of great shoes this year as well as great clothes for men, women and kiddos. The ladies at Edge Marketing and Design in Helena created the great ads and Dianne Morgan, the Billings store manager and Cindy Cast the Billings assistant manager put together and coordinated the shoot and great outfits.
