CaseyBower Photography bio picture

welcome.

Hello and welcome to my photoblog. I am delighted to have you here! This blog serves as a way of sharing my most recent photo sessions with clients and their family and friends, and is also the first place to hear recent announcements about the studio as well as special blog-reader only discounts.

I am a primarily natural light portrait photographer based out of Madison, Wisconsin. My focus is on babies, children and families, although I also love to shoot a limited number of weddings per year. My portrait sessions take place entirely on location -- either at your home or at another location around Madison. I love to explore new places, so I'm very open to your suggestions. And of course, I have some favorite spots that I'm always ready to explore again as well.

In addition to my blog, please also check out my main website (it is the "my website" link on the menu above). If you have any questions or would like to book a session, please click on the "contact me" link in the menu above to send me an e-mail. Thanks again for stopping by, and please enjoy your visit!

style.

My approach toward photography is deceptively simple: catch real moments of your children really being themselves. Silly giggles, sweet kisses from mommy, tickles from a big sister, laughing while watching doggie run through the park... These are the moments that make up real life. These are the moments from childhood that pass by all too fast. And these moments, to me, are where the real beauty of childhood resides. The same philosophy governs my approach to wedding photography.

My style is largely photojournalistic and non-obtrusive, while at the same time I am always working to create beautiful and lasting memories of life as it unfolds. The most common words used to describe my photographs are the ones I have chosen as the tagline for my studio: Modern. Fun. Real. Life. People often comment that my photographs have a sense of warmth and emotion to them -- which I consider the highest compliment possible.

beautiful boy.

Meet sweet and wonderful one week old N. He and his momma came into the studio for a session on his one week birthday, and a few days later we had a shortened session so that we could get a few photos with his dad too. I don’t have to tell you that they are...

nostalgia.

Is it possible to be nostalgic for something that isn’t even really gone? It’s September now. My three year old and I are in search of a new playground since the kids are now back in school and using the one that we used to frequent.  The start of the football season is almost here...

another year older.

I’m sure I’ve said this before, but one of my absolute favorite favorite parts of this job is having the opportunity to re-connect with clients and watch their children grow. Whether I see them every three months or every year, it is always so amazing to see how their little ones...

chronology of a session, and some news

I decided to do something new with this blog post and tell a bit of the story behind the images. I thought this was the perfect session to use for this sort of endeavor on the blog and also to accompany this small announcement : I will be closing the studio portion of my business...

album share.

I just realized I have never posted one of my finished wedding albums on here. And since I just finished up with the proof of one that I really love, I thought I might as well share it here. This is the album for Alyssa and Mike’s lovely Milwaukee May wedding. My style in album...

washington island. door county.

The setting was one of the most perfect places on earth, for one of the most beautiful weddings I have ever seen. Lovely, happy couple. Amazing weather. Fantastic (seriously, beyond words) location. More photos to come, but I had to share this one…

rebecca & jeremy.

This was a very special wedding for me. Not only because every part of it, from the venue to the ceremony music to the extraordinary details at the reception, was just so incredibly creative. But also because I was there from the beginning… or at least from the beginning of their engagement. Way back in...

happy as the grass was green.

These are just cell phone camera pics, but I adore them. I wish I had my better camera with me, but I’m still so happy I took them. I guess is another example of why you should always, always have a camera with you to capture these little moments. It all goes by so fast....

dreamland.

This post features the sleepiest newborn I have ever photographed. Introducing little baby K, who was just over a week old when she had her newborn session at the studio. She was awake for maybe the first 5 minutes, then spent the rest of the session in dreamland. And she even graced me with some...
