    About

    Hello!

    I’m so glad you’ve landed here! My name is Lauren, I'm a recipe creator and food photographer.  

    Photo of Lauren and a baby.

    I'm also a mom of 3 and wife to an active-duty Marine.

    So, I know the struggle of needing to get dinner on the table, and sometimes fast, with minimal prep and cleanup.

    That's why I created this website, to answer that questions that comes up daily, "what's for dinner?!"

    I love to create simple, tasty, easy-to-follow and customize recipes.  Especially drinks (I’m a tea freak) and dinner!  Some of my favorite recipes of all time are this rose mocktail, and these dutch oven meatballs.  

    My mission here at Shutter (as in, the camera) and Mint (the herb) is to provide modern moms with elevated, mostly-scratch made modern dinner recipes and drinks with fantastic, close-up photos!

    Whether you’re having an easy night with the kids and looking for a quick air fryer recipe with minimal prep and cleanup, or something a bit more involved to impress on a Sunday, I’ve got you covered!

    The most popular recipe on the blog would be this Tart Cherry Juice Mocktail, give it a try!

    I have a master’s degree (M.Ed.) in English Education. In the past, I’ve worked in education, psychology, and advertising.  By far, my favorite job has been in advertising! I loved creating ad spreads, advertorials, and working in B2B relations.  This experience lends itself well to blogging, and I'm now a full time blogger! It's truly a dream job!

    Please, grab some coffee or tea and browse around!

    Also! Check out some of the great websites I've been featured in recently:

    • Pink When
    • The Fit Cookie &
    • A Cultivated Nest
