MEET CARISA & BRIAN!
ABOUT CARISA:
I am Carisa Kozicki. I have a weakness for big dogs, homemade cookies, and good wine. I am inspired by people I know. I coach high school cross country with my best friend, my husband Brian. I still occasionally enter local road races and attempt to play soccer with the girls. I began documenting the world when I bought my first camera at age 9.
ABOUT MY STYLE
I love to learn about you, my clients, so I can conceptualize the best way to document you. Since I spend a little more time with my clients, I can only accept a limited number of clients each year.
I love to photograph relationships between sweeties, between siblings, perhaps between a person and her canine companion. What I hope to capture are photographs depicting your family, your love, and your relationships in their natural existence. You’ll play, you’ll laugh, you might even cry because every life is full of a variety of emotions. I strive to create photographic stories depicting the wonderful clients I photograph.
What to expect : Typical sessions last from 1-2 hours but longer sessions can be arranged for special outings or concepts. My style of photography uses the existing, natural backgrounds and a combination of available light and subtle fill light with small flashes or reflectors. If you are looking for traditional, studio photographs I can recommended some other talented photographers for you to contact who specialize in this type of photography. Most of my portrait clients invest between $500 and $2000 for their creative and professional portrait experience. Sessions begin at $100. My wedding clients average around $3500. I do offer smaller, highlight only event packages for more intimate affairs. For more details and a list of session options or wedding/event options and product prices please contact me at ckphotog@gmail.com or 717.421.3262.
I would love the chance to document you, your dog, or even your family, so please feel free to call or email me soon!
When I'm not taking photographs, you can find me exploring life with my husband Brian and our canine companions, Olive & Basil. Oscar, the cat, would like to come too, but his adventures are limited to exploring our house or watching out the window. As of fall 2011 we're expanding our family and adding a baby of the human variety. :) I'm sure you'll see a lot of photographs of this family member too.

ABOUT BRIAN:
(written by Carisa)
For the past 4 years, Brian has been my assistant on almost all of my weddings and many of my more involved portrait sessions. We work incredibly well together as a team! He knows how I like to work and what I'm striving to capture with my clients. He also knows how to use a camera! :) You'll see many images captured by him here on the blog as I like to showcase his talent and efforts as well. What else can I say besides I love being able to spend much of the time I work capturing clients with my best friend and husband by my side. He's also an incredibly good sport as he doesn't mind driving me around while I look for new portrait spots, helping me make business decisions, or giving me his opinion on my work and designs. Thank you Brian, you are so valuable to me, and you are an integral part of CarisaK & CK Photography.
We'll be updating these pics soon. We actually capture a self-portrait family photograph every fall for our holiday card, guess I'm a little behind on posting those! ;)
