Portfolio slide show of KATE

Kate, she has great eyes and a wonderful smile!

I'm running a tad behind with the weekend interrupting work, but watch for Kate's slide show to be up soon. Her portfolio Rocks.

Kennedy Rose is 9 months old

This little cutie is ready for modeling, mommy dresses her in the most adorable outfits. She has always liked getting her picture taken, filled with giggles this time was no exception.

I'M ONE in JULY!!

Nolan, is one of the MEN in my life. I adore this little guy. He is the cutest, happiest fellow around. He is a nice cross between his daddy, Mike (the nose wrinkle look, fabulous personality, athletic prowess), his uncle Colin, (those eyes) and his beautiful mother Cara.

Wedding in August 2010

For anyone that follows this blog and is not aware, our household is planning a wedding for AUGUST. I now sympathize tremendously with all of the brides and their large portfolios of information.

Our family will become culturally diverse with the Addition of Alice Fiona AYO, as the wife of my son Jon. They met in her homeland Uganda, Africa, while Jon was away participating in the Peace Corps.

What looks like a lesson in cooking in these images, is actually the making of the rings for the wedding. Alice and Jon imprinted their fingers onto wax to be sent to the artist for the creation for their rings. The will appear as normal bands on the outside but have each others finger prints on the inside of the bands. Another step into the actual wedding process.

I will try to document our progress in this wedding.

Last week the invitations went out. That's another blog! :0

Anna and Maria as photographed by Kate

The Greeks know how to party! Anna and Maria's graduation party had it all... a DJ, dancing, volleyball and of course great food! Congratulations Anna and Maria and I will be looking for you two on the Eastside next fall. For a slide show of the day's events click here.

season's first Senior HALEY

Haley....2011 grad

Meet Haley who is years beyond her age. She is well traveled even at this young age. She has diverse interests, including one that we share..ART. It was great photographing this young lady!

Madison Wedding Photographers | Christine & Mike

Christine and Mike exchanged their vows atop of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Madison, WI. Emotionally delivered vows touched everybody. This unique wedding reception had entertainment provided by the band" Whoz Playing?", great food, and an interesting touch in that a plein air painter, Katie Musolff, who was recording the event on canvas as a gift for the groom. The whole day was a work of ART!

See a slide show of the days events here.

Milwaukee Wedding Photographers | Emily and Mike

This terrific couple enjoy life, they love music and it's obvious they love each other. It is so refreshing to see a couple this in tune to each other. It was great fun capturing Emily and Mike in preparation for their wedding which will take place in 2011.

Monday night YOGA with Dennis Hawk

Coppertree Yoga Studio in Hartford, gave us the chance to join in for a great night of yoga, accompanied musically by Dennis Hawk. Dennis plays the most beautiful introspective sounds derived from the sounds of Native American Music. It adds a new dimension to the body soul experience.

The Stevens Family

This image looks prim and proper for a family photo.. but the best image is the one with "Jack" as the leader of the parade!

What we did over the weekend..

In January we had the opportunity to travel to Mexico to photograph Holly and Kyle, but this last weekend the Kreuser family greeted the couple with their wedding wishes.

Head shots for a friendly staff.

Yesterday I took head shots for our own Insurance company staff members. Nice, helpful, competent people @ Gundrum Insurance in Slinger, WI

Award Winner!

He's da man!

Actually there were many extremely talented kids from all over the state at yesterdays 1st Annual Tommy Awards, which took place at the Overture Center in Madison. It's always a challenge between documenting the performance, and enjoying the show without feeling like we're watching it through the camera... either way, we very much enjoyed watching Connor receive the accolades he deserved (best lead) working so hard in the high school musical "All Shook Up".

Kudos to all the folks who received awards for all their hard work in their respective productions. It's ironic that these programs which have such great impact on young lives are the first to get their budgets cut at the first sign of economic duress. I am one parent that believes these programs are just as important to the development of today's youth as any sports activity.

Way to go Connor, you are a leader of tomorrow!

Milwaukee Wedding Photographers | Sara & Rodney!

You just know when personalities click, AND that's what we felt with Rodney and Sara. Sara is another beautiful woman whom we have the opportunity to photograph, and Rodney is not just handsome-- he is a barrel of fun. We know this wedding will be a blast. October cannot come soon enough.
