Lauren and Louie are a great couple, you don’t have to spend much time with them to figure that out. I have had the wonderful opportunity to photograph their engagement pictures as well as their wedding, and I can’t say enough good things about them. The wedding this past weekend was wonderful, if just a tad hot. Even though we had to limit our outdoor pictures due to the heat, we were able to pull Read more…
Ah, the self portrait. Before this year, I hadn’t done a self portrait since college, but for some reason, I’ve done two different self portraits so far this year. I think the biggest reason is that my kids are at an age where they are tired of being photographed and I’m left with either myself or my dog to shoot. This is fine though, because it means I have more latitude with the subject matter Read more…
I’ve been working on a new project lately and needed some pictures to go along with it. The project involves brides and an old yellow bike. I’ll be shedding more light on the project shortly, but for now, enjoy this fantabulous image from the photo shoot today. The model is Liz, she was one of my wedding clients last year. I’m pretty excited about this project and can’t wait to share it with the world.
The other day I had the pleasure of taking a stroll down State Street with a happy young couple that are quite obviously in love with each other. I love photographing people who are so into each other — not only does it make my job easier, but it’s a breath of fresh air when two people can’t take their eyes off each other. If this photo session was any indication of things to come, Read more…
April showers bring May flowers, but in this case, they also bring together two wonderful young people. DJ and Milissa got married in April and the wind and rain were merely footnotes in the story of their day. Weddings like this keep me coming back for more — I absolutely love seeing two young people who are truly in love and full of energy and promise.
I’m not used to being in front of the camera, but after seeing a could of pretty cool self portraits on the interwebs, I got inspired to do my own. Here are two for your enjoyment. The second one really shows that I need a haircut — and a shave! To see me smiling, you’ll have to head on over to my Flickr page.
Quickly going over the pictures from tonight’s light painting session and here’s a wacky one I hacked together. It made me laugh, so I had to share it.
I’ve seen this guy hanging out up on his perch for the past few days during my morning commute. He didn’t seem to mind me taking his picture, though I’m sure his nest isn’t too far away.
No wedding ever goes according to plan. When you go to plan your wedding, accept that fact and you’ll have the best time of your life. This wedding was no exception. First, we had a week of gorgeous weather only to get snowed on the night before (nearly 3 inches on the ground!). Second, the church was a photographer’s dream with abundant natural light, yet the priest wouldn’t let us in the same time zone Read more…
The other day, I was talking with a gal about doing photos for her upcoming album and we got to talking about fun things you can do with lighting at night. So, as a refresher/test of the types of things we might be doing for her album, I headed out to the shores of Lake Monona the other night to try out some light painting. On one hand, it was really cool to be out Read more…
