Monthly Archives: July 2009 When I came into Melanie’s room at the Concourse Hotel in Madison there was a mini swarm of activity. She had just gotten her dress on and her bridesmaids were finishing up some final touches on it. I love the colors here – the warm light above the mirror and the blue from the window....  I wasn’t too sure what to expect from these two, and we didn’t even have a much of a plan for the shoot – just wander around downtown Appleton I think was the official plan – but it turned out great. Val and Nissa even came along and we had a great time! You know...  It’s always a little different experience when I’m photographing someone I know like a friend or family member. It’s different because we know each other already on one level, but then when I photograph them we’re seeing one another on a totally different level. They get to see how I act when I’m behind the...  This was a fun little engagement shoot. Brandon and Sarah and I walked around the Capitol square area, revisiting some classic locations like the red doors at Grace Episcopal Church and the Capitol building, but we broke some new ground using some interesting streetscape elements, and we even wandered into Candinas Chocolatier. What an awesome...  Val and I recently had the pleasure of donating our time and talent to Gilda’s Club of Madison, which is a wonderful organization that provides a place to gather for people touched by cancer. I actually helped out there before they opened, laying sod in their beautiful back yard. I remember then that the house...  Here’s some more from Abby and Brad’s wedding on the north shore of Lake Superior. Enjoy! Stay tuned for more!  It’s always cool to have photos published in a magazine, but to be a part of the story too is extra sweet! I was recently interviewed for a story in Wisconsin Bride about favorite engagement portrait locations. Check it out on newstands (I’m a fan of Barnes & Noble and their delicious coffee) or online.  ***So there was just too much cool stuff from this wedding to contain in one post. Here’s part one. Enjoy and check back soon for more!*** Abby and Brad’s wedding was one we were especially looking forward to, partially because Abby and Brad are such wonderful people and a sweet couple, but also because of...  I always like to try to incorporate something personal into my portraits whenever possible. It helps add some context for the photos and it says something more about a person than just what they look like. For Brad and Liz that “something personal” turned out to be cribbage. They are self-described HUGE cribbage fans, bordering...  I had a fun little family portrait shoot recently with the Rebstock family. It was a hot day, but the shade and the breeze off the lake at Bartel’s Beach in Lake Mills made it really nice. Little Lizzie, which is short for Lizelle (what a cool name!), is just a few months old and...  I knew Kelly and Rick’s wedding would be something special, partially because their reception was held at the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center in Appleton. It’s a spectacular space by itself, but then add in all the decorations for their reception and it all looked simply amazing! As an added bonus we were actually able... |
