Hi everyone! I'm Jess Lauren, the blondie behind #blondielife. I am an Arizona Native, (can you believe it? me neither) I am someone who does not do well in the heat, so I avoid is as much as I can. During the summers I'm like a bear, I just hibernate until its cold outside again. Anyway, I have been a photographer for around 13 years now, and it is one the my biggest passions, unfortunately I am only able to do it part time, so when I'm not at a photoshoot, I'll be working in a doctors office!

I have been in a relationship for about a year now, and let me tell ya, it hasn't been a walk in the park. With both of us being so stubborn we definitely find every way to bump heads. With that, I wouldn't change it for the world. I am so thankful to have him in my life, he has the biggest heart and wants nothing but the best for me. As much as I hate the feeling of depending on someone, because it scares me, he takes care of me and makes sure I have everything I need. I feel so, so blessed that God has put this wonderful man in my life. he keeps me grounded, and pushes me to do everything I put my heart and mind to and pushes me to better myself, *cough*cough* like going to the gym. I wouldn't want to spend this life with anyone else.

I am 24 years old and a Christmas baby! So appropriately my favorite holiday is Christmas. I love to crochet, anything from baby outfits to blankets! although I always start crocheting blankets and then I get like 1/4 of the way and get bored and never finish, I literally have like 4 or 5 unfinished blankets sitting in my closet, I just wish they didn't take so long! I want to be able to give my kids a hand made blanket to hand down to theirs! that just seems like such a treasure to have! I love to see new places but absolutely hate the travel part of it. I get motion sickness so easy so I'm literally so miserable during the "getting there" process. I hope to one day travel to Europe and see all the amazing places there! Photography is my biggest hobby, although I don't see it as one, its been such a huge part of my life that it just is who I am! I love creating beautiful images and sharing them with clients, seeing how excited they are to look at what we created together is just such an amazing experience and I wouldn't give that up for the world!

of course ya'll gonna see a lot of my fur baby Nala. I've had her since she was a puppy, and we bonded instantly, she is the biggest cuddle bug and loves any toy that squeaks. She's my whole heart <3

HAY!!
