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.

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....

my guys.

T will be 3 years old in July. He is a feisty but sensitive little guy. He talks a lot. He loves to run outside and play with his dog. He also likes to snuggle (I’m savoring each and every one of these moments, as I’m sure we’re getting near the end of the frequent...

and now for something completely different.

I’m taking a photography creativity course this winter. It’s been a bit tricky fitting it in, and I’m totally guilty of doing my project at the last minute (the class is tomorrow morning). But I still am loving the course and the excuse to do some photography just for me. This assignment was to take...

three months old (already).

Guess who is three months old — today? My littlest man, that’s who. I cannot believe that it has been three months since I was lying in a hospital bed downtown and looking out at one of the first real snowfalls of the year as I held this tiny little newborn boy. Three months later,...

new fangled technology? film? yes, please.

I’ve never been a very “technie” person. But I’m trying. Sort of. I joined a group of photographers for a creativity workshop, and I went to the first session today (I joined late, so I felt like the bad kid in class who hadn’t done the assignment when I turned up to the meeting today...

Happy Holidays!

Wishing you a very joyous holiday season and a wonderful new year. So that I can devote time to my family, the studio will be closed through January 4. I will answer your e-mails and phone calls when I return. Merry Christmas!

ps. the image above was on the front of our Christmas card this year....

A new addition.

I have been absent from the blog for quite a while, but I have a reasonably good excuse. We welcomed the newest member of our family, a beautiful little baby boy, last Thursday. I am so happy that he didn’t arrive today in the middle of all the snow!
On a business related note, I’ll be...

Thankful.

So very much to be thankful for this year. I am thankful for my health, and that of my family. I am thankful for the love of my husband and my little boy, as well as all my other family members and friends. I am thankful that we will very soon have another member of...

Autumn with the Animals (even a monkey!)

This past weekend was fantastic. Finally good weather, sunshine, and a chance to get out and do some of those fall activities that have been sitting on the backburner as we waited out the gloomy skies and rain (which I hear might be returning again tomorrow). Saturday the boys and I went to the Dane...

welcome, fall.

When we left it was summer, and when we came back it definitely felt like fall.
I am back at the studio after a fabulous weeklong vacation in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. This was my third trip there, and I am always amazed at the beauty of that place and I always am so...
