PATENAUDE FAMILY

.31

we meet krissy wall. whom we love. krissy says, “you’ve got to meet christine!”. which we did. and we love her.
christine says, “you’ve got to shoot my family.” which we did. and we love them (see below!).
then christine also says, “you’ve got to meet justin and mary marantz (some other photogs in new haven). which we did on our last trip out there. and we love them.

our lesson? do whatever krissy or christine say. and we’ll love it!!

bottom line, we should have become friends with this family a long, long, long time ago. it’s been our loss not knowing them till now!!
but now we’re friends. life is better.

and then they moved to washington dc
anyone in dc want a session??? we’re thinking we’re just about due for a trip there

OMG These are the most beautiful pictures ever. Of course, you have the most beautiful family ever to photograph. I just love the settings…it is so Christine. FAB U LOUS. Thanks for sharing. I love the one of Miss Eva in the doorway and Miss Stelly peeking out.

Christine, just wonderful. Hope all is well, and I hope to visit sometime after the Walk.

Holy Canoli! I am lucky to know this family and you have captured their love and humor and style and spirit just perfectly. They nearly walked right out of those photographs and landed on my desk. I’m amazed and inspired by your talent and the creative “voice” of Studio 6.23. Double WOW.

JOSH + NICOLE

let me count the ways that we totally connect with josh and nicole.
we love the buckle (only jeans i buy). they manage 2 buckle stores.
we love jesus. yup, they do too!!
nicole has got to be the happiest bride we know! and we’re happy too.
and then of course, there’s our mutual obsession with shane and shane (best musician’s ever!) just sayin.

josh and nicole. we have some crazy fun memories when we think back to your wedding!
josh, i’m pretty sure you’re the only groom that has helped me stop traffic to get the perfect shot! very cool.
the photobooth…you literally tore it up!!! haha. and then there was the guys and girls that exchanged clothes for the photobooth. that was definitely a first!!!
and i’m pretty sure you two win the award for the bride and groom who most enjoy having their pictures taken!! not gonna lie…that makes our job that much easier. and that much more fun!

we knew from our first coffee at biggby that we were going to love shooting your wedding. and cups of coffee never lie!
we had a blast, like we knew we would! thanks for inviting us to be a part of your amazing day!!

daisy. we could take pictures of you any day. any time. anywhere!
you’ve got that look. you know, the kind where it doesn’t look like you’re posing for the camera. you’re just being you. and we LOVE that!!!

and to everyone that’s noticing how cool daisy’s clothes are, ask us where she gets them! she makes them. yeah, you heard me. she designs and makes a bunch of her own clothes including a shirt worn in this shoot. how cool is that?! i’m pretty sure that when i was her age, i was spending most of my time watching MTV (back when they actually played music videos) and playing my atari 2600. i’m totally inspired.

and mom, dad…i can’t tell you how cool it is that you’re helping daisy find her groove. cause it’s cool. and that makes you crazy cool in our eyes!!

now here’s a few of our faves!!

oh wait….daisy…when you’re a famous designer and need someone to shoot your new line, don’t forget about us!! k. thanks
