  "What a beautiful talent Lauren is. Her stream is SUCH a treat to visit. Always a wonderful way to escape the craziness of life. Without a doubt one of my most favorite streams, not to mention one of my biggest inspirations. I am honored to call her a Flickr friend. Truly."

  "I love coming to Lauren's stream to be inspired. Her work is gorgeous and full of beautiful light. Whether a portrait, a nature shot, or my fav...a still life with plenty of white, Lauren captures the beauty of the ordinary and the simple things in life. Her work has so much meaning and class. She is also one of the sweetest Flickr peeps I know ;-) I'm glad I have someone to share small obsessions with...like the color white, still-life, and of course baby's breath..lol ;-) Thanks for sharing your amazing talent with us! xxx"

  "I've "known" Lauren for a few months now and I can honestly say that I adore everything she puts up. I'm beginning to wonder if I'm just her stalker. Lol. Lauren produces the most wonderfully divine shots which are like first aid for the eyes. Her naturey still life never ceases to amaze me, i am constantly looking for similar but failing! And while I adore these bokeh-tastic shots my personal faves are her other still life which she perfects with such sophistication. You rock Lauren."

  "if i had one word to describe lauren's photostream, what would it be, you say? airy. when i look at lauren's photos, what strikes me about them is that they are very open--lots of minimalism, heavy whites, and full of life. lauren's photostream is very impressive and fun to observe, and she deserves all the acclaim she receives. i wish her (or should i say, "you"?) all the best in the future."

  Extra Medium says:

  "Lauren was the best motorcyclist I'd ever raced against during that summer after college. What I didn't know was that she was hustling the boys for money. What started out as an innocent wager turned into a fierce race around the dirt track. Perhaps it was an unwritten rule, but she made it clear that kicking people while they pass was certainly encouraged. Distraught by this feat of unrivaled tomfoolery, I decided to cut the final corner, and disqualified myself from the race. After a quick 30 minute fistfight, we came to talking about popular photography techniques and subjects. Come to find out she's sincere and warm and has a great eye for the details of the world around us. Just be careful if you see someone with a ponytail challenge you to a 2-wheeled race!"

  "It intimidates me to try to find the right words to describe what I think about Lauren's stream of wonderfulness! There is just so much talent from this beautiful and intelligent lady. :) I really admire her style and her processing is just perfection. She can turn the simplest pieces into inspiring masterpieces, and I especially enjoy her cups/mugs of coffee pictures. ;P"

  "I get moved a lot when clicking through Lauren's best images large on black. Or yet another day when she posts one of her gorgeous pics. It's amazing how she became one of flickr's best and most poetic bokeh photographers in such a short time and in an even shorter time, my favorite flickr-ph and -friend. The wonderful captures of her cute little one are getting more and more impressive too and I'm looking forward seeing him grow.
  
  I'm very happy and honored to call you a friend, Lauren. I love your sense of humor and your easygoing and cool character.
  
  xoxo, Yves"

  "What is there to say about Lauren that has not yet been said by everyone else? Well Lauren first of all is a beautiful person in every way possible. She has been a great friend to me on flickr and she continues to show such great support. Her pictures have such beautiful colors and of course bokeh. What would Lauren do without BOKEH? Can't wait to see more of your work Lauren!"

  "Lauren is one of my favorite photographers on Flickr. Her eye for nature photography in particular is really spectacular, and she has MAD processing skillz--I often look at her photos and think to myself, "How in the world did she DO that?" I admire her work a great deal, and the unique perspective she shares with us. She also is a really smart, funny person, someone I can imagine being great to work with in person.
  
  Finally, like me, she does a lot of TPS reports, and often, she doesn't have covers on them. And that is really why Lauren is awesome. :)"

  "First and foremost, I am so proud to call Lauren a great friend. She is a true artist and I am so amazed at her talent. ! She is so super creative and rocks colors like nobody else! Her son is just so precious and she captures his personality amazingly! Whenever I sign into to Flickr, her stream is one of the first ones that I visit. I should have an automatic FAV button for her. Her bokeh Wednesday shots are like no other! Her cocktail/booze shots are the best around! AND, I think Lauren needs to take my screen name because her stream is the epitome of "still life". Once just a flickr friend and a witty commenter, she is now a real life great friend that I treasure dearly- flickr or not. Love you girl! YOU inspire me Lauren!
  
  XOXO- Kelley
  
  P.S. 3 other things she has going for her is her taste in men (McDreamy and those hot Brits!!!)......her taste in shoes- we will rock them in NY gurl....and she's a lushy mclusherson like myself!! Holla!"

  "I had to re-write this testimonial for Lauren, 'cos my first one did not even begin to do it justice.
  Her talent and creativity blows my mind, she has the ability to turn an ordinary shot into something you would be thinking about for days.
  I love Lauren's style, taste and her elegance. It transpires through her photos!
  She is one of my favorite photographers here on flickr with an enormous sense of humor and is an amazing friend!
  I look forward to seeing Laurens pictures every day, especially on Wednesdays, her bokeh shots are not only creative, they are unique and you can guarantee that it's going to be a stunner!
  
  I love your work, Lauren, you are my inspiration and I am so happy that you are my friend!!!

  "I have been putting off writing a testimonial for Lauren, purely because I couldn't find the perfect words to describe her and her stream (still can't). But here we go..
  
  She's definitely one of my favourite photographers on flickr. Yes, she's very talented, creative and downright amazing. Her work is flawless, stunning and 'sexy', especially her bokeh shots.
  
  And not only she's very talented, she's also one of the nicest people I've met on flickr. Her great love for her son shows in every description and photo that she's taken of him. That's one of the reasons I keep on coming to visit her stream!"

  "Lauren's stream is always a treat. Still life photography is not something I ever thought could be interesting, yet here she is...making it something I love to watch for! Her creativeness with shooting still life really boggles my mind - I don't know how she comes up with this stuff! I could totally see some of her prints hanging in my home.
  
  So when you gonna sell this stuff Lauren?
  
  Keep up the wonderful work!"
