Milwaukee Wedding Photographers | Holly & Kris

Once again we got to make some pictures of an awesome couple who really know how to light up the dance floor. These kids were so much fun to work with, and very easy to photograph... hard to go wrong with material like this. Many thanks to Foz's for opening early and putting out a wonderful spread of snacks to help soak up all those great martinis!!

You can see a slide show of the days events here.

Hard to believe that this senior girl doesn't like to have pictures taken. My view, "flaunt it while you can, there'll be a day when you wish you had more pictures that looked like this!"

On a hot and humid day dipping your toes in the water can be refreshing. More refreshing was this smiley senior.

GIRL SCOUTS


These are not the little "Brownies" I remember...pretty sweet "scout" cookies.

staying on track



This is the beauty we photographed yesterday. I always have fun taking these pictures and I think Emily did too. Great subject! A little drizzle never hurt anyone!

Memorial...

This blog has usually covered the photobiz, but on a more personal note, my mother recently passed. I got a call from my oldest brother, just as we were heading out the door for our last wedding, telling me that the time was near. I made the decision to go to the wedding, because I thought what could I do, I would be helpless to do anything to change the situation.

The next days were spent clearing out her room in the nursing home, going through numerous boxes and albums of old pictures, preparing memory boards for display at the wake, and crying with my wife. It was that moment I realized how important our work is, when all I came home with were memories and a handful of photographs...

There's only so much time we're given on this planet, so find your passion, and make sure you live life to the fullest.

My son Carl best summed it up with his blog entry seen here.
