Milwaukee photographer | photo a day-2



This is the second day of "take a picture a day challenge". I have already decided that my format throughout this assignment will be long and narrow. At the end of the year I will produce a MINI art show by converting the images to Moo Cards, and framing them.

These pictures are not special events, or special places, instead I am celebrating my own surroundings. Today I had an appointment at the clinic, and took the camera along for the ride. I love this grove of trees not far from our studio. They have extra meaning since this is where "Spottswood Photography photographed my son Jon and his wife Alice, last August on their wedding day. Their photography was fit for a KING. Had to say that in order to celebrate the wedding today of Kate and NOT---->Charles, OOOPS!!!! Freudian slip. Prince William

Milwaukee photographer | photo a day


My good friend, Steven Spottswood has decided to challenge himself by doing a photo a day. I think he is on the right track, we all need to keep fresh, and see things that may be mundane from a whole new perspective. So Steven, "I too will take on the challenge to do a photo a day, even though we are about to enter our hyper speed season! Let's try to keep this going.."

photo #1..it's cold and miserable outdoors, but I just stepped to the patio, the wind created this design on my table.

Milwaukee portrait artists | Brody




It might be miserable outside, but Brody was perfect inside, just like a trained model he smiled as soon as he was placed in the lights! He is already 9 month old, hard to believe, and growing like a weed. I suggested he was going to be tall like grandpa, who came along today as an assistant, what a fabulous assistant he was! I may hire grandpa to blow bubbles on other photo shoots.

Milwaukee portrait artists | Samantha and Madison




These two adorable little chicks,were good as gold throughout the entire shoot. Samantha was a little shy at the get go, but Madison set the pace by just giving me those adorable eyes.

In time for Easter gifts, these images are keepers.

Milwaukee portrait artists |Piera




Piera is 9, and she loves to read, and ride her scooter.

The weather outside started to cooperate by late afternoon, so we moved the last of the Easter shoots outside. Here are the results!

Milwaukee portrait artists | Sylvia and Roman





By far the funniest client of the day was Roman. He is so entertaining, and his sister obviously adores him for his antics. Apples never fall far from the trees and these two reinforce that phrase.

At one point in my teaching career, there was really no reason to hold class if Eric Moser was not in attendance, I think that was the ONE day he missed school that year. Now a dedicated daddy and teacher himself, he sets the pace for his son. Without a doubt, Roman will always be a gentleman and a scholar.

Now Sylvia, has the twinkle in her eye, just like mommy. She is a bit aloof like a cat, knows her mind, and will voice it if not by words, certainly body language!

Two of the most beautiful kids, both inside and out, these are just a couple of the adorable images captured for posterity.

Milwaukee portrait artists | Brady





This little guy was sporting his best tie for the shoot. As sweet as jelly beans, and cuter than any rabbit, Brady is the spitting image of his daddy. He is good natured, and bright eyed. Watch out mommy, soon he will have you running after him! Once he gets his stride there will be no stopping Brady.

Milwaukee portrait artists | Arden and Declyn




I first met Arden and Declyn before Christmas this year at the Busy Bee photo shoot. These two sisters are wonderful girls to work with. I think their beautiful curls lend them to be Irish dancers some day, they would not have to wear a wig! Beautiful curls, great smiles, and sweet dispositions. Enough to make any mama proud.

Milwaukee portrait artists | Isabelle



Yesterday I was Hopping all day long thanks to parents who took the time out of their day to have Easter photos of their little chicks and wabbits. The girls all looked so
"SWEET" in their darling dresses.

Isabelle is another of my favorite models, I have watched her grow these past two years, I even witnessed her baptism. It is such a pleasure to have faithful clients with great kids!

Milwaukee portrait artists | Erin






I have been photographing Erin since birth, maybe that's why she is like a little model when she comes to our studio. It's appropriate that her mommy took advantage of our Easter offer for a free session. With the help of Charlie, who created the carrots on steroids, we are using a spring set indoors-the weather just didn't want to cooperate.

Erin helped by watering those big carrots, between nibbles on a carrot of her own.
Soon to be three, I look forward to photographing her for her birthday and capturing the whole family for memories that will last forever.
xxxooooxxx, thanks Erin!

Message to mom...





Hey mom, don't worry about me I am having a great time with NANA, she takes good care of me. I love those little chocolate eggs, and running around in my skivvies, not to mention CRAZY auntie Carol.
love Nono

Milwaukee portrait artists | NONO, Nolan






He has a special place in my heart, considering I knew his mother when she was this size. Nolan is bright, inquisitive, cute as a button, but more active than a fly. I always have trouble catching him, but when I do.. he has the gleam in his eye, and usually the drool down his front. A perfect picture? Maybe not to anyone else, but when I see him in the frame he is always perfect in my book.

Milwaukee Wedding Photographers | Megan and Scott






This Denver couple left the warm weather of the West to come and continue plans for their Midwest wedding that will take place in August. They braved the cold and wind to let us take their engagement pictures. Not only did they endure the elements, but they gave us free artistic reign. We had a blast with Scott and Megan.

Megan had her first encounter with Scott when she was arranging a trip to Russia, he applied, and she approved. They seemed to us to be a perfect fit for each other.

Their ceremony will take place at St John's Military Academy chapel, and their reception will be at the Golden Mast. We are looking forward to this event!

Milwaukee portrait photographers | Meredith is 9 months old!





Meredith is the cutest little spring flower to cross our doorway since the snow has melted. She can melt your heart faster than the sun is melting the snow from the landscape.

It is always fun to have her and mommy (yoga expert) from Copper Tree wellness center..stop by for photos. Never in a bad mood, always centered, they make taking pictures easy.
