The Supermodel. | Milwaukee Family Photographer

Some kids are just naturals, and Ben is one of them. From the moment I walked in the door he was giving me this perfect little "model face"...completely transfixed by the camera click...a joy to photograph.

I had a nice sitting with Ben and his family today in Racine. The weather is finally cooperating so I can get these family sittings done and not have to worry about being rained on...or worse yet, snowed in!

Enjoy the sneak peek everyone!

Is there anything better than little baby bums?

Puppy Love. | Milwaukee Family Photographer

Today I had pleasure of a sitting with some furry clients and their people. I'm not really a "dog" person, really. I'm a cat person. Cat's are far easier to photograph, I can tell you that. I compare photographing the two larger dogs here with photographing a 4 year old...that has just been given about three Mountain Dews.

But, we got it done! And quite well, if I do say so myself. We visited Whitnall Park in Franklin for these shots and the weather cooperated quite nicely.

Enjoy your sneak peek! I had a great time!

Book 'Em Dano.

Just as a public service announcement to folks, I will not be taking any more family sitting bookings this month and a very limited amount (as in: a few more) next month. I got completely booked for family holiday sittings and in order to fulfill the orders I already have on the books I have to limit them.

Thanks for understanding. I'm happy to book dates in December if you'd like, but cannot guarantee delivery by the holidays.

Freak Rain Showers and Tree Stumps. | Milwaukee Wedding Photographer

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
- Elton John

Kimberly and Robert are such a fun, sweet couple. Their wedding, held at the Devil's Head Resort in Merrimac, WI, was a testament to how much they are loved. It was standing room only at the ceremony, and later at the reception family and friends actually got up and sang for the couple!

The colors were ablaze this afternoon, providing a lovely backdrop for pictures...in between freakishly weird rain showers that would start on one side of the resort but not on the other. Very bizarre.

The wonderfully intimate ceremony was topped off with a fun-filled reception driven by the music of The Gomers who offer not only a band experience, but a "Gomer-oke" experience as well, where people can get up and sing. I don't think I've ever seen a little boy about 6 or 7 attempt The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald at any other wedding, and I don't think I ever will again....it was definitely a special experience!

Everyone enjoyed dancing, singing, and Stump-cake. It was a great time, and I'm so happy I was able to capture it for the couple.

Enjoy your sneak peek!

We joked that Kim looked like she was making some offering to the wedding gods, but really she's just waiting for makeup.





Stump Cake!

A for Effort. | Beloit Family Photography

That's what I give myself today....A for effort. Because after looking at the fruits of my labor from Madelyn and Avery's sitting today, I'm surprised there is even one of Madelyn in focus. This kid is SPEEDY. Getting her to sit still takes begging, bribery, and...at the end...some of her dad's muscle and coaxing.

But, we got it!

You may remember Madelyn from past shoots and she brings with her a new little sister Avery this time around. Avery was perfectly content to just sit and stare at the camera...which was good, because I needed every bit of energy I had for her sister.

Hope you enjoy them guys! See you soon!

Have Camera, Will Travel. | Beloit Wedding Photographer

I definitely put some miles on the car this weekend. Friday I drove to Green Lake for Wedding #1, then Saturday it was on to Racine for Wedding #2, and on Sunday I drove to Dekalb, IL for Jesse and Jennifer's engagement session.

I had never been to Dekalb and it's kind of an oddity. You drive through miles of nothing but cornfields and open road and then BAM!...there's this college town smack-dab in the middle of nowhere. The NIU campus is also deceptively larger than it looks from the outside, and has some pretty nice photo-taking opportunities.

Jennifer, Jesse, and I also hit downtown Dekalb which features an old theatre called "The Egyptian" which I thought was quite neat. It was a bit chilly but we managed to ignore the cold long enough to get some great shots.

Enjoy your sneak peek guys!
