2011-09-22T02:42:00.000-05:00

This year for Countryside Veterinary Clinics annual customer appreciation day they had a dunk tank, canine massages, Gregorys Gift of Hope, pet costumes etc and free professional pet portraits (by Ciogiart!)

I had an amazing time meeting all the happy pet owners and their charasmatic pets, it truly was a treat to be able to photograph them all! Here are a few of my favorite shots:

Katie's Lifestyle Graduate Photo Session

2011-09-07T03:39:00.000-05:00

What a beautiful day for senior pictures! I was accompanied by Katie's family and a good friend of hers. We started down at the marina in Hudson taking some shots in and around the park, followed by some of my signature downtown night shots in North Hudson!

Here are some of my personal favorites from the session!

Payton Nicole's 6mos Lifestyle Session

2011-07-08T05:27:00.001-05:00

Wow has time flown by... seems like just yesterday my best friend was telling me she was having a baby! Now here we are many months later, for her beautiful daughters' six month photo session!

Photographing Payton's lifestyle session was a real treat. She is such a charismatic and photographic baby, it was almost impossible to get a bad shot of her. We have decided to do another shoot with her (simply because she is gorgeous,) so keep your eye out for more!

After much deliberation I have decided these six photographs are my personal favorites from the session:

Newborn Triplets Lifestyle Shoot

2011-06-29T20:21:00.000-05:00

Thrice the fun! These three amazing triplets definitely showed their strong individual personalities during their shoot Monday morning!

These are some of my favorite shots from the session!!

Harper and Hazel Lifestyle Shoot!

2011-06-13T23:44:00.002-05:00

What a perfect day for a lifestyle shoot with two twin girls! We had a lot of fun during their lifestyle shoot, I just let the girls play while I captured their true personalities in a grassy area surrounded by beautiful Wisconsin farmland. I couldn't have asked for a better location, weather or subjects; we had a great time playing with trees, dandelions, sticks... really anything the girls could find!

The Ryans Spring Session

2011-06-01T01:52:00.000-05:00

Every year we get together for Ashley and Chads wedding anniversary and take amazing lifestyle family photographs. Every year creates more laughter, more smiles and more great memories! This year was especially exciting, we decided to get together on a day where there were storms rolling through town on and off all day. Although, mother nature was great to us and we managed to get some great sunshine and clear skies for just enough time to get some great shots!

Here are just a few of my favorite shots:

An hour in the life of a brother and a sister...

2011-04-14T23:45:00.000-05:00

The call for rain was a concern at first, so we got started right away in the historic alleys of North Hudson, with hopes of beating the weather! With great smiles, charisma and just plain fun we started shooting. This brother/sister team was a real charm to photograph, nothing but playing and laughing for these two!

Our last stop on this adventure was at a quaint little candy and ice cream shop downtown, where we got an ice cream cone and a colorful lollipop for the kids to share and enjoy, this is where the magic really began!

As the winter months grow closer, it was decided that me and Shelby would do an indoor session for her senior pics. We had a lot of laughs and got some great pictures, she brought a lot of energy and charisma to the session!!

Take a look at what we came up with:)

Mandy

2009-09-26T10:29:00.000-05:00

Another great day for senior pictures! Mandy and I decided to take her pictures at the Boomsite in Stillwater, had a great time! After taking some great daytime shots we headed downtown for some amazing street shots at nigh, night senior pictures are really turning into my favorite!

Here are some of the pictures... please enjoy:)

Blair

2009-09-20T10:25:00.001-05:00

Blair and her boyfriend found a great park in MN to take her senior pictures at; it's such a beautiful park with a nice walking path and a great dock to walk out on and relax by a beautiful fountain! Again, a great day for taking senior pictures, and Blair's boyfriend jumped in on some photos which added to the fun!

Check them out below... :)

Jordan

2009-09-08T11:18:00.001-05:00

Jordan and I shot down at the Boomsite in Stillwater, which is one of my favorite places to shoot! We were lucky and got great weather and great pictures! Later we decided to go downtown for some night shots on the street for a more edgy and unique look, all in all, great day!

Take a peak at some of the pics....:)

Danielle's Senior Pics

2009-08-20T23:25:00.004-05:00

I had a great time taking Danielle's photos today, although I did feel a little old from the whole experience considering I used to take care of her when she was 5, now seeing here going into her senior year of high school really brought things to a new perspective! We had a great time, remembering all the good times we had and just laughing the whole time! Congratulations Dani!!!

Tasha and Josh

2009-05-12T20:08:00.000-05:00

They are such an energetic and loving couple; taking their photos was a blast! We spent about and hour in Star Prairie, WI along the Apple River taking pictures and having fun. At first I got the usual, "Your the photographer, we'll do whatever you want us to do!" For me this is quite difficult, because I like to portray what you are like as a couple/person etc. after all, they are for you, right!?! Well I decided for a fun shot that Josh should put Tasha on his shoulder and spin around, after that we just played and had a great time getting amazing shots that really show their eternal love for each other! Enjoy!

Congrats Brad and Savannah!!

2009-05-06T15:02:00.006-05:00

The reception was then held on Yellow Lake in WI; the food was amazing and the night was filled with a lot of happy people and fun memories!! Here are some of the pictures from this joyous occasion!
