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.

Almost forgot the star of our video clip




Good natured, fun loving, photogenic, Maria!

All in the FAMILY


you can see their closeness... :)

hearts be still...


Couldn't resist this look.......STELLA!.....that's for the older generation who remember Marlin Brando in his youth wearing this same style shirt, in "On a Hot Tin Roof" or James Dean in "Rebel Without a Cause".

Becca


It always amazes me when a new model makes a setting look completely different! Becca has an engaging smile and eyes that see right through you. Oh to be young and beautiful!

This family can get a little crazy!


Fitz family at their peak, or the top of their wave...

catch up time

since last blog, I have heard from my son in Uganda, gone to the Sieber's homestead for a rest, and had Canadians here for ten days-bid them farewell. Now it's time to catch up!

Emma Baker



What can I say? she's Cute, she's smart, she's delightful, she's EMMA.



An eye for composition, Emma knew what she wanted her pictures to look like, she even had a small diagram for the one on the left. LOVE it!

Ryne Stickney


Ryne, not only plays football, he is a snow boarder, and Willie Nelson fan. we had a good time taking these pictures, even though the mosquitoes were trying to drive us from the park.

Natalie Brown

Germantown class of 2008, Natalie has a great smile, she was lots of fun to work with!

Josh Bintz



Obviously football is Josh's game of choice. I would guess his food of choice to be pizza...since he brought a pizza costume from work with him to do humorous shots. Made me laugh at loud!

Kelsey Strelow


She can life guard at our pool any time!

It was hard not to take a good picture of this student.

Abbey Stroik




Abbey knew exactly what she had in mind for her senior portraits. It was great fun working with her on these images, she ended up with a great variety. Make sure you check the event portion of our web site to see her whole portfolio.

Melissa Konrath


Even though we didn't choose to show the soccer image of Melissa, let it be known that she is invested in the sport! Slinger is lucky to have this young lady on their team.

Kristen Runnalls

Germantown senior, ready to face the last year of High School, and she will do it with style!

UGANDA baby!





Home after 11PM and up before 5 to see Jon, my son off to the PEACE CORP. His sister, Charlie, myself and Vik, toasted him goodbye with a Starbucks.. appropriate for the hour.

Good Luck JON! We will all miss you.

Milwaukee Wedding Photographers | Sarah & Nick

We have been blessed with having the most beautiful couples, that also have have great friends, and yesterday was no exception... The bridal parties display to the newly weds (see lowest picture) featured the letters that spelled out "congratulations" on the rear of the underpants... what an unexpected surprise!
