Laurenda admitted that “nothing has remotely come to being as cool as this moment was,” but she did joke about one photo session where there was a “seagull flying in the background.”

The photographer also shared what her philosophy for work and life is: “Look up and live in the moment. The most interesting and memorable parts of your story are likely not written in your calendar.”

She also had this to say: “We are grateful to be sharing such a unique circumstance with the world. All the positive comments and feedback have been humbling.”
