Ahhhh…couldn’t you just die over their cuteness?!

I wasn’t sure where to start since I’ve been off the blogging for a while and have about a million things to post, so I thought I’d start with Lauri and Mikey. Cause they are adorable. :-) We have a very special plan for their engagement session(s) which involves quite a bit more work. But this is the first piece of the puzzle. You’ll have to check back to find out what we have planned. Oooo…so mysterious.

Anywho, their engagement session also happens to have a sort of funny story. See, one day Lauri and I were at a meeting and when we left I drove by the thing that looked like maybe an abandoned park or something. I wasn’t quite sure because I didn’t stop to check it out fully, but it looked interesting enough to warrant further investigation. So I suggested to Lauri, knowing that she’d off course be up for it, that we go ahead and just use this place as the inspiration for their session. As I’d suspected she was totally game.

On the day of the session we show up at this supposed abandoned park, and find it looking rather like someone’s home…with a strange sort of desolate pool in the middle of their grounds. Hmmm… The main house did look like it might be abandoned…and also maybe haunted, but we did try to knock and ask permission, if there was in fact anyone to ask permission from. We didn’t have any luck and so started shooting and figured if there was anyone there, we didn’t mean their property any harm and maybe they didn’t mind. Well, I think Lauri and I felt this way, but Mikey was a bit more wary…

…see? wary.

After a bit of shooting, a man did yell down to us from the house to ask what we were doing. I responded and asked if he minded if we just used his property for some photos, he thought about it and yelled down “No.” Ah…success!

Hot!

It was a very cool, interesting place to shoot. After a bit the man did come down and told us about the house. I guess at some point it was a functional pool until a flood ruined it and it was never repaired. Oh…and it was in a movie, some sci-fi film. I can see that working. :-)

Silly Lauri. :-)

In addition to using the pool area there was this incredible old tree.

I love this tree!

Not all the pictures were creepy. hehe.

This one totally cracks me up!

If Lauri and Mikey ever decide to tour the country as a folk duet, I would like them to use this as their album artwork.

This one reminds me of that movie the Blare Witch Project….creepy!

I had to save one of my favorite creepies until last! :-) Can’t get enough of that tree.

So we had the best time shooting this session (minus the concern over being thrown off the property by an angry home owner) and the best part is that we have lots more fun to look forward to! Yay!

Check back to find out what we’re up to. hehehe :-)
