Model Shoot

Model shoot: Twin sisters - Hannah and Maggie.
We did both an in-studio shoot and on-location at Nagawicka Lake....
catching a beautiful sunset. The sky was starting to get hazy at that time, but still turned out very nice. That, of course, is one of the challenges for on-location shoots. But, when weather cooperates, it pays off. I am glad that we moved it one day earlier, because the next day dropped by 10 degrees in temperature ! Hello Wisconsin weather...

Metal Prints available also

MetalPrints - Beautiful Prints on Aluminum

MetalPrints™ represent a new art medium for preserving photos by infusing dyes directly into specially coated aluminum sheets. Because the image is infused into the surface and not on it, your images will take on an almost magical luminescence. Metal Prints are available in 3 different surfaces: High Gloss, Satin and Sheer. You've never seen a more brilliant and impressive print! Colors are vibrant and the luminescence is breathtaking.

Be a tourist in your own town !!

I grew up here in the Waukesha county area.... and I moved away for 3 years. Just came back home January....

One of the major things I learned (well, there was a number of things), was that you should be a tourist in your own town. Pretend like you've never been to the area. Look up info on this wonderful internet... Go to places you haven't been to for a while.

You only live once :)
Enjoy life.
Get out and do things !!

It surprised me to hear from people that grew up in the area, that they had never been to places like the Arch... the City Museum... etc. There are LOTS of great places to visit there.
But, the same goes for everywhere. Sometimes you just have to look.
I found a great list from OnMilwaukee.com, here.
Take a peek.

Some of my fav's:
Miller Park
The Safe House ..Do YOU know the password :)
Holy Hill
The Public Museum, the ART Museum.
The ZOO
Botanical Gardens
Harley Davidson Museum
North Point Lighthouse
Discovery World
And don't forget... Milwaukee is the beer capitol of the world:
-- Brewery tours.

Fun for the whole family !!

Something that isn't real close, but VERY cool -
have you ever been to the House on the Rock.
It is a WHOLE DAY adventure. Highly recommended.

And HERE is a list of attractions ALL OVER Wisconsin.

We live in a great area, ENJOY IT !! :)

White stuff....

Anyone missing this white stuff yet... ?



NOT ME !! Bring on more 70 degree weather ! :)

Harley-Davidson Museum, Milwaukee

If you haven't been there, YOU MUST :) There are some of the coolest looking bikes and other displays, around. And, don't forget to not only look at the displays, but check out the building as well. The architect has some of the neatest features built in. Little things here and there...starting from the front doors. Oh, and at the end of the tour, go to the restaurant/bar across the bridge from the second level. Great food, beer, and more cool architecture. ENJOY>

Fox River, Waukesha

Went out to the Fox River Waterfall, downtown Waukesha...
on a cold-cold Sunday morning. Just trying to capture some water in motion.


Went out for a hike at Lapham Peak, Delafield.

What a beautiful day it was....
Even found 3 deer who were nice enough to pose for me:






Gorgeous sights. Cant WAIT for it to get (and stay) warm and start to 'green' up !!!

Fun with Light :)

Playing with long shutter speeds, an Sb-900 Nikon Speedlight, and some colored 'gels'.
This shot was not 'photoshopped' together, it was three separate POPs from the speedlight (flash).

Why.... don't know... but, why not ? :)

Circus was in town, Did YOU see it ??

Went out to see the Tripoli Shrine Circus, Thursday Feb 25th at the US Cellular Arena, Milwaukee, WI. Fun-times. Great sights and some good laughs.
Definitely a low-light challenge on the camera. But I was up for it !! :)






I caught these guys across the street before the show at Major Goolsby's :)

Kayden

Photography with children can be fun.... but can also be challenging.
Sometimes the little ones just don't want to pose or do what we want
them too... But, well, you do what you can to get the best possible images.
