the art of two tarts

Happy World Nutella Day! Yummmm… seriously,  who doesn’t love Nutella?!  It was love at first taste for me.  The first time I had Nutella was in crepe.  There’s really nothing quite like it.  Even writing this blog post makes my mouth water!

The Art of Two Tarts blog is by 2 of my clients, Maria & Lisa. They love to cook and bake and they have been blogging since last year.  They have such a passion for cooking that I wanted to share their blog with everyone.  In fact, here are some Nutella recipes from their blog!  Now go and celebrate World Nutella Day by making your own!  Aside from Nutella recipes, they also love to make cupcakes.  Here are some shots of them icing their red velvet cupcakes.    So if you enjoy cooking and are always up for new recipes, definitely follow their blog, The Art of Two Tarts!

When I met Maria for her bridal consultation in November 2008, I never knew our relationship would flourish into something so much more than photographer/bride… never knew that we would have the honor of being part of their family’s lives by photographing two of her sisters (Lisa & Phyllis) weddings later this year as well.  Thank you for your friendship…

And last but not least, it was a nice surprise when they gave us our own cupcakes after the session… Misha Media Red Velvet Cupcakes!

:: clark family ::

We had the honor and privilege to photograph the Clark family!  Desmond Clark plays tight end for the Chicago Bears, #88.  As a huge Bears fan, you can imagine my nervousness and excitement when we first spoke on the phone.  I think I spent the first 3 minutes (ok maybe just 2 minutes) telling him how big of a fan I am of the Chicago Bears  :)  It was truly a pleasure to meet his wife, Denise, along with their twin girls “A” and “G”.

Also, congratulations on the win yesterday!  As faithful Bears fans, we were watching like many other Chicagoans!

It was really chilly when we first started our photo session, so we started out with jumping jacks to get us all warmed up!  Thank you for braving the winds!

We  heard “fuzzy pickles and fuzzy pizzas, and fuzzy anything you can think of…” all day from the girls “A” and “G” — which made it so much fun!  They were coming up with some really creative nouns.

:: michelle & dylan :: kinzie street bridge : chicago engagement photography ::

This is a ‘rock the dress’ session with Michelle & Dylan.  They are planning to have a small intimate wedding later this summer, but they didn’t want to miss out on photography so they called us!  We photographed at their favorite spots in Chicago and we all had a blast!    Michelle & Dylan found Misha Media through Yelp!

:: maria & john : engaged ::

I had such a blast during Maria & John’s E-session last Friday!  It was such a nice breezy day and hardly anybody was at the Chicago Botanic Garden.  I think everyone was heading out of town for the long weekend so we were lucky to have it semi-empty :)  I can’t wait to photograph their wedding in September!

wrigley field engagement photographer| liz & nevin | engaged!

This is the full blog update for Liz & Nevin’s engagement session at Wrigley Field!  I called this my ‘million dollar’ shoot  because Nevin had asked if we could re-schedule their engagement session due to bad weather forecasts for the rest of the week.  As some of you know may know, I am a big fan of the Amazing Race and hope to try out for the TV show sometime in my life… they happened to be holding try-outs here in Chicago on the same day and Andy and I were going try-out until Nevin called…  As I read more details in the application, the show stated that you must be eligible for travel for about 40 days this summer (no specific dates announced).  Needless to say, with all my weddings and my commitments, that wasn’t going to happen… Maybe next year…  So I was teasing Liz & Nevin that this session cost me a million dollars… Everything worked out, had beautiful weather and got some killer shots!   So here’s to Liz & Nevin!  We’re very excited for your wedding this coming June!  Let’s go Cubbies!

We were limited to the front part of the stadium because they were watering the outfield.
