marissa and michael pratt winter engagement shoot

Yesterday Mike and I braved the cold with our awesome October 2009 clients Marissa and Mr. Michael Pratt- them more so than us- we were bundled up like the kid in a Christmas Story! We had the brilliant idea of having a fire pit to go back to and warm up in between shots…thanks for setting that up!!

Between Strangers divx


There is a waterfall on the property we were shooting at and it made for quite the cool back drop.

Then provided a nice little set up for my ring shot with all of the ice ice baby

Hell Comes to Frogtown trailer

Freedom Strike buy


Michael Pratt grew up hauling bales of hay and stuff and was showing me their cool barn with all of the twine for baling the hay- and man, what an incredible back ground this made too with this light?

They put the OOOTT in Boot! Love this shot of them on the stairs leading up to the loft

Up in the hay loft was just…….. yeah

Marissa is so beautiful and has the most intense blue eyes!

Frankenhooker move
It’s like they just jumped out of an old movie here


Did a little interior tractor shooting here

Mike thought it would be a good idea to see if this HUGE great dane would try to stick Mike’s head in his mouth as a show of dominance… so of course I was on standby… but no dice! He just wanted our bagel!

Love the contrast here with the snow….extra special shout out to Miss Tammy Swales for her photoshop skillz…and I’ll leave it at that

The Mummy’s Shroud full movie
How cute are they? ?

Thanks so much Marissa & Michael Pratt for such a fun day and for being such troopers on this super cold day!!! We are totally looking forward to your wedding in October!

xxoo

Erik Maziarz — off the hook . . . the shots inside the barn are just awesome!   ( January 21, 2009 @ 8:44 am )

maziarz family shoot

I get asked a lot of I shoot family sessions- and while the answer is yes, I have to say that I really try hard not to approach them in any kind of traditional way. You know, like the old school Olan Mills way. And no, I m not trying to hate on Olan Mills at ALL- I have a picture of MY family when we were growing up that was taken in Olan Mills’ studio… and I love it!

A Bunch of Amateurs full

So my good friend and fellow photographer Erik Maziarz asked me to shoot his family as he falls victim to the same thing we all do as photographers- we have great shots of our kids and spouses but none of US with our kids and spouses! So I spent the afternoon shooting and getting to know Jen and Caroline, both of whom are the sweetest ladies ever!

We started off snuggling since Caroline was really sleepy… I had to try really really hard to be quiet! So of course I got the giggles and then was freaking out (inside) because I was really loving the shots I was getting but could not shout about them! It was a struggle, but well worth it!

Hands are just so important for me to shoot, I love how Erik and Jen’s hands look like they are from the same person almost- as they both snuggle their daughter

Mystic River release

Their cats were fantastic accessories!! I love this shot of them all on the couch


Her expression just cracks me up here- as she is pulling her mommy and daddy’s fingers :)

One of my very favorites from the day, kind of abstract, but of feet and hands, my favorites- and I like how her feet are in the shape of a heart…

Clear and Present Danger full

Orchard Cove Photography — Such sweet beautiful images - she is such a cute little one!   ( January 14, 2009 @ 1:05 pm )

Erik Maziarz — WHAT?!?! Carla . . . Jen and I don't even know what to say. "Oh my God!" "Wow!" "Awwww . . . " (just a few things we've blurted out) And we're laughing our butts off at Caroline's face in that 2nd to last shot. We call that her "old man" face. :-)

Seriously . . . we are so thrilled and we cannot thank you enough. We will treasure these photos forever. And you're welcome back ANY time to crawl on our floor, stand on our bed, get in our faces, laugh and eat tuna melts!   ( January 14, 2009 @ 1:27 pm )
