Greenhouse Portrait Session with Emily Lauren

"I have 6 tattoos. My sixth tattoo is the antler with a blue ribbon on my forearm. I got it early this year the day after my grandpa passed away. Due to my parent's divorce my mom, siblings and I spent most of my childhood living with my grandparents. My grandpa became such a strong father figure to me because I only got to see my dad every other weekend. For years on end my grandpa would chat with my sister and I as we were getting ready for school in the mornings. Every morning when we were starting to do our hair he'd get super excited telling us he knew just the thing for our hair. He'd jump up and run to his room and come back with a small antler that had a blue ribbon tied around it and tell us it was the perfect accessory and that no one in school would have one like it. Every morning my sister and I would squeal and giggle and tell him how silly it was and he'd proceed to try and find the perfect spot in our hair for it. Losing him is one of the greatest and most painful losses I've ever felt. The night he passed away, all I could think about was how badly I wished I'd have worn the silly antler just once. I woke up the next morning set on getting the tattoo and called shop after shop until I found one with open books." -Emily Lauren @emily_lauren_model
