Lauren's Senior Photos

2009-11-03T21:59:00.013-06:00

A few from Lauren's Senior Portrait session done in early Oct.

Brandon

2009-10-04T09:38:00.003-05:00

Brandon @ 16months. A challenge to shoot for sure...But I worked with him and got great results. He was another learning experience. Not only does he want to run and play by himself but he also hadn't seen me in about a year. It was interesting to build a working relationship with him considering he didn't know me. It was still fun to do though. I love working with kids.

Katie's Senior Photos

2009-10-04T09:11:00.016-05:00

Had tons of fun doing these photos. I took them at Hoyt Park / the Village area. I've used this location multiple times before for senior pictures but tried to be inventive as to give a personalized experience to Katie. I really don't ever want to lapse into typical and really cliche' photos - every session is different and centered around the client and I will be striving to keep it that way.

Makayla's 2nd Birthday Photos

2009-09-22T08:04:00.005-05:00

It is crazy that Makayla is 2 already! More than that its crazy how she used to be so photogenic and now its impossible to get her to sit still for more than two seconds! This was a learning experience. It his harder to get photos of someone who avoids the camera at all costs!

Kathy's Senior Photos

2009-09-22T07:48:00.007-05:00

We picked the location of these photos on the day we took them. We were going to go to the Hoyt Park area but the weather had other plans. Due to a fierce rainstorm the night before I knew the parkway would be horribly muddy and not good for photos so I suggested the Botanical Gardens. I hadn't been there in a couple years but it was just as I remembered it and great for shooting in!

Maria's Senior Photos

2009-08-15T15:02:00.015-05:00

It's was weird taking Maria's senior photos because I'm pretty sure I met here when she was in 7th grade. It definitely makes me feel quite old knowing that she'll be a senior this year! These photos were a lot of fun and a new experience. I've taking some photos at MAM (Milwaukee Art Museum), but I haven't taken any inside or in any of the places we were shooting at. It challenged me to find new places to shoot in a location I was already familiar with.

These shots came out really well & I'm hoping I will do a handful more of seniors this year.

Colin & Laurel's Wedding

2009-08-15T14:29:00.049-05:00

So, I haven't posted anything in a long while. This will be changing! Even the photos I'm posting today are a few weeks old I just haven't had time to post them. I have bunch of things booked for the next month - so stay tuned.

Coin & Laurel's wedding was awesome. It was beautiful and I took so many awesome photos. Hence why i posted so many. I was really excited about this wedding and was quite happy with the results. Both Colin and Laurel are lovely individuals both really easy to work for. This is a wedding that my sister assisted me with, I'm hoping she'll be doing this often in the future. Its nice to have a different eye taking photos and its quite fun to look at the photos after and see the exact same moment from two different angles.

K&R Engagement Photos (RePost)

2009-01-03T12:42:00.000-06:00

Here are some selections from my shoot with K & R a few weeks ago. Besides the fact that it was extremely cold out while we were shooting by the lake it was a pleasant experience. I enjoyed working with them. They came to the shoot with ideas for poses and what they wanted which is always nice. They seem very happy together. It was a pleasure to work with them.

In other news: I might be getting featured in a March issue of Alt- magazine. Very exciting! Stay tuned for more information.

Growth Indoors

These are a couple shots from Christmas at my grandfather's house. I really loved the shots so I thought I'd share them

Christmas Time

Grandpa - Thanksgiving 2008

2008-11-29T01:16:00.008-06:00

Some portraits I did of my grandfather, very quickly on thanksgiving this year. I like the way they turned out so I decided to post them. I haven't had any shoots recently that I can post pictures of...but I have one this Sunday so more photos coming soon.

...flowers....

2008-11-12T00:53:00.002-06:00

I was given some flowers the other day. They're so beautiful I had to post this photo I took of them.

Couples Shoot - Sabrina and her Beau

2008-11-12T00:45:00.013-06:00

Couples shoot I did a while ago. It was a lot of fun to do. The day was beautiful and the fall colors really added to the shoot. It was an all around gorgeous, I wish it could have stayed like that. I titled the post "Sabrina and her Beau" because the name of her boyfriend escapes me right now.

The End of Summer

2008-10-20T21:36:00.008-05:00

Since summer has faded and the leaves have started to change everything has gotten a lot prettier than it previously was. I love the summer, but there's something very beautiful about the fall and the beginning of winter. In the last couple weeks I've taken some photos as I've been out and about and I posted some below. The first few are all from my grandfathers backyard. I took the first five pictures all on the same day. He has a lot of contrast in his garden. Some things are still thriving while some plants have died a long time ago. The second couple of photos are from my trip to Apple Holler last Saturday.

All but the last photo are available in print from. Click the image to go to the print page.

A Few Studio Shots

2008-10-15T02:24:00.004-05:00

I finally got the studio lights set up perfectly. I am really happy with the results. Here are a few shots I did with Jim. I am excited to get some more people into the studio to shoot soon!

Cherie & Paul's Wedding

Ashley & Jerome's Wedding

2008-10-10T00:17:00.017-05:00

Ashley and Jerome's Wedding was a blast for me. It was an awesome experience to be the main photographer, "running the show" so to speak. All the photos turned out excellently. It was a great day for a wedding, a great day overall.

Black Collar Show

My friend Al's group Black Collar, check them out here ( http://www.myspace.com/blackcollarfam )
This was most definitely a fun night

Babies(Josiah, Makayla, Shamari)

From a family party of the Labor Day weekend.

Amanda's Senior Photos

2008-08-31T09:35:00.013-05:00

This shoot proved to me there is no such thing as a typical photo shoot. Comparing this shoot to the one I did with Kim just a few weeks ago I can see so much difference in the photos due to the different personalities of the subjects. This is why I love taking the photos I do: you can see personalities and other sides of people in photos. This shoot was in Grant Park (The Seven Bridges area). It was a lot of fun.

Kim's Senior Photos

2008-08-12T08:28:00.015-05:00

These are Kim's senior photos. I think they turned out really well. It was a fun shoot & the photos seem to fit her quite well.

Makayla 1st Birthday Photos

2008-07-24T15:28:00.013-05:00

Makayla's first birthday shots. A really fun shoot to do, lots of cute shots.

Mom & Baby Shoot

2008-07-13T14:47:00.016-05:00

A few shots from my mommy and baby shoot I had a couple weeks ago. I really like the way these turned out and hope to do more family shoots in the family. There's nothing sweeter than the bond between a mom (or dad) and their children.

Cody

2008-07-03T00:12:00.001-05:00

These are some photos I did of Cody just recently. I'm really happy how they turned out. A lot of them turned out having a very artistic/commercial look to them.

Marquis Graduation

2008-06-28T14:39:00.001-05:00

My nephew graduated from Marquette University High School just a month ago or so. He's headed off to Florida for college and makes me feel super old. These are a few photos from that occasion. I was just working on them this morning and thought I should post some.

Shelby - Summer Shoot

2008-06-25T00:00:00.002-05:00

These are a few from my summer shoot with Shelby. She is quite a trooper she headed into the freezing cold lake in a bathing suit to pose for shots. I couldn't do it, that water is chilly!

This will be the place I throw up photos as I edit them so clients can see how their photos are coming along.
