Meet Lauren
MODERN NOSTALGIA
I'm so glad you're here!
I was born and raised in Michigan before spending 5 years with my husband in Colorado where I pursued semi-elite level running, adventure and my Doctorate of Physical Therapy. We have since settled in Mid-Michigan with our son + twin girls. Three under three is no joke, but motherhood has pushed me to become the best version of my self and as a photographer.
My love language is a morning cup of coffee in my sunroom, before the rest of the world (or at least my house) is awake. I'm an enneagram 3w4 and have a somewhat unhealthy obsession with vanilla bean ice cream + chocolate chip sundaes. I love pineapple on pizza and a Sam Adams Cold Snap (takes me right back to training for my first Boston Marathon in Colorado).
I've become even more nostalgic since becoming a mom... and have realized just how fleeting these days are.
For the longest time, chasing an OTQ ( Olympic Trials Qualifier) in the marathon was my #1 goal... I still love running, especially on a crisp summer morning, but am enjoying this less competitive season and have gotten more into weight lifting since graduating PT school.
I am constantly re-watching episodes of How I Met Your Mother, Schitts Creek and New Girl. Maybe its the comfort of knowing exactly what is going to happen or the nostalgia they bring me, but I'd rather watch a re-run than try a new show most days.
I have my Doctorate in Physical Therapist and specialize in Women's and Pelvic Health. I will DIE on the hill that a pelvic health PT referral should be the standard of care after having a baby... but anyways... I still practice PT 3 days a week and love serving my patients helping them reach their goals!
I rarely match my socks and my number one pet peeve is people who don't put their shopping carts back. There I said it.
xx, Lauren
