MAL+STRANZ FAM | ooey gooey muddy golden field

The crazy thing is that we got all these pictures within like… 20 minutes?! Just goes to show how keeping a shoot simple can yield the best results. Especially with a little baby! We used one location, one outfit, but did have a handful of jingly items on hand to get those big brown eyes on the camera.

ERICA+ROSS | fall colors five years later

On the evening of their FIFTH wedding anniversary, I joined Erika and Ross amidst the fall colors to capture the special occasion. The weather of their wedding day didn’t super duper cooperate and they didn’t get the vibrant yellows and reds you imagine for a late September wedding! So they came prepared with wedding dress in tow to reminisce and experience the fall colors they never had. We parted ways just as the sun dipped below the horizon as Erika and Ross drove off to their fancy dinner reservation to end the evening. It was perfect!
