FOG Cast Photo

2009-08-10T13:38:00.005-05:00

What a great bunch! I attended the FOG (previously called Encore) show on Saturday night and was very entertained by these talented students. They made me proud to be one their sponsors!

Cecelia and Red Power!

Here's my daughter, Cecelia, looking very comfortable atop her Aunt Sara's 1939 Farmall "M" antique tractor.

Encore

2009-07-27T13:27:00.003-05:00

Encore is a club made up of Beaver Dam High School students and alumni. Every August they put on a musical performance to raise money for the drama department. This year they asked me to be one of their sponsors and take their program portraits. We shot the portraits in a Photobox style and had a lot of fun!

We moved what?!?

2009-07-27T11:26:00.002-05:00

We moved our carriage house (garage) to where it should have been placed on our property in the first place. It was quite an ordeal, took more than a week to complete, and was worth every pretty penny.

Lollipop Lollipop Oh Lolli-Lolli....

Megan

2009-05-26T23:06:00.004-05:00

Megan and I had a ton of fun last week shooting her senior pictures! We toured downtown Beaver Dam and discovered some unique backdrops in the old buildings.

Senior Prom!!

2009-05-12T20:52:00.004-05:00

As a favor to a good friend, I shot a senior prom in Milwaukee...what a great time! The kids seemed to appreciate my non-traditional prom style ;-)

Baby Dylan

2009-04-27T20:41:00.004-05:00

Oh what a cutie little Dylan is! Some of the most beautiful blue eyes I've seen...

Lucas's 1st Birthday

2009-03-18T20:22:00.002-05:00

Lucas turned one year old last Saturday! His parents, Diana and Paul, invited me to their home in Beaver Dam to take pictures of little Lucas before his birthday party. In their home country of Romania, it is tradition that little boys don't get their hair cut until after they turn one, thereby explaining the abundance of hair on Lucas's head!

Murder Mystery!

2009-03-17T13:06:00.002-05:00

Here are a few of my favs from a Murder Mystery party I attended a few weeks ago....what a great time!

Fun in the Tub!

2009-03-02T21:17:00.003-06:00

Who needs bath toys when you have copious amounts of BUBBLES?!

Ioana, Mario, and Nathan

2009-02-24T20:55:00.004-06:00

Ioana and Mario returned to Romania last week, but before they left I had the pleasure of photographing them as a family one more time. We wish them all the best in this next chapter of their lives.

Flowers

2009-02-11T14:15:00.003-06:00

So I'm still working on decorating my daughter's (Lily) room and am considering three large prints of these images. The pink, green, and blue are colors I pulled from a rug that we purchased for the room. Drop me a line and let me know what you think...

Potty Training!

2009-02-09T19:35:00.003-06:00

My youngest daughter, Cecelia, on her training potty with a look that says, "Mom, do you REALLY think this is going to work?"

Jonas

2009-01-22T13:56:00.003-06:00

My husband with his nifty new clip-on tie and matching suspenders that I got him for Christmas....aren't they spiffy? I forgot to pick up a coordinating pocket-protector.

Baby Baylen

2009-01-21T20:14:00.002-06:00

I am finally getting around to editing some of the family pics I took around the holidays and these are a few of my favorites. This is my nephew, Bailen, and his mother, Marsha. What a ham....

Flowers

2009-01-21T09:16:00.004-06:00

I have these 2 plants in my dining room and decided to photograph them as "art" for my daughter's new bedroom. Can you guess what color her walls are?

Mr. Brady

2009-01-16T14:11:00.005-06:00

I had some fun designing a calendar for my bother-in-law for Christmas entitled, "The Many Faces of Brady Brown". Here is a sampling of the images I included.

Happy Holidays!

2009-01-15T16:29:00.003-06:00

Our Holiday card for this past year featuring my two daughters, Lily (5) and Cecelia (2).

Baby Nathan

2009-01-15T13:13:00.002-06:00

Baby Nathan was born in October of 2008 to Mario and Ioana who are from Romania. They invited me to the hospital to capture some images of Baby Nathan for their family and friends at home. I'm catching up on posting...so please forgive me for the delay in getting these online ;-)

Sleighride!

2009-01-14T16:17:00.004-06:00

I had the pleasure of sledding and enjoying a sleighride with my family at the Hazienda clydesdale farm. It was cold, but so much fun! Here are a few of my favorite images from the day...

Fun in the Snow

2009-01-12T21:20:00.003-06:00

My brother, Jonah, and his dog enjoyed the snow at my parent's farm last week. I think it's safe to say that the dog got the best of him....

The Band

2008-05-27T21:38:00.004-05:00

I had the pleasure of shooting a band portrait last summer. Jimmy, Tom, Dale, and Mark were a lot of fun and gave me a lot of creative freedom. We went for a little walk around downtown Beaver Dam and found some cool spots to shoot. The last stop was an historic hotel that has sadly been abandoned and left to crumble.

Papa's little helper

2008-03-31T12:28:00.004-05:00

Cecelia stole her Papa's hat the other day. She just adores her grandparents and lights up when they walk in the door. It reminds us of why we gave up the beautiful Texas winters to move to Wisconsin.

Vegas

2008-03-21T20:20:00.003-05:00

I attended the WPPI (Wedding and portrait photographers) convention and trade show in Las Vegas this week. Here are a couple of my favorite images.

What a mess!

2008-03-06T09:12:00.004-06:00

My nephew, Logan, was in town visiting this week and my mom and I decided to let him and Lily make a mess of my dining room. The pictures were worth the disaster they left behind.

Uh-oh!

2008-03-05T15:27:00.003-06:00

My little lady finally said her first word, "uh-oh". She intentionally drops things on the floor so she can say it.

Lunar Eclipse

2008-03-04T11:00:00.002-06:00

The lunar eclipse was breathtaking to see, though it was a bit chilly at -10 degrees. I braved the bitter cold to take an exposure every 15 minutes for 3 hours and plan to combine them to show the entire eclipse in one frame. I went through 4 Lithium batteries and my camera was frozen with ice when I brought it in. In retrospect, I wish I had photographed the beautiful ice crystals on it before they melted.

Cecelia

2008-03-04T09:49:00.001-06:00

Cecelia decided to help Dad make breakfast so she climbed up on the stool and started "helping". She is such a delightful baby and we can't imagine life without her contagious smile and great big hugs.

Lily and Jerry

2008-03-04T09:29:00.000-06:00

Lily and Jerry are becoming best buddies. He is very tolerant of the girls and adores their attention. He will be 8 years old this year and is 14 pounds of love (4 of which are his manboobs).
