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!

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.

lauren & matt.

Get ready for a wee bit of a photo overload. Door County is easily one of my favorite places in the US. Amazingly enough, even though I grew up in Wisconsin I had never been there until a few years ago (I went for the first time to shoot this wedding).  Weddings in Door County...

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...

alyssa & mike.

This past weekend, I had the distinct pleasure of kicking off my wedding season by photographing two beautiful weddings in Milwaukee. My first 2010 wedding was the happy nuptials of Alyssa & Mike, who I had met over a year ago when I photographed their engagement session on the UW campus in Madison.  As I...

andrea & eric.

This past Saturday was one of those very bright, very crisp, very autumnal days. I was lucky enough to spend the day photographing the beautiful wedding of Andrea and Eric here in Madison. Their wedding was lovely, from the gorgeous wedding gown to the absolutely perfect flowers (I really was in love with them).  Granted,...

Heather & Potter.

I have been looking forward to writing this post for months, since cold February when I shot their engagement photos in the snow. And now, it is with great pleasure that I bring you the photos from last Saturday evening… the wedding of Heather & Potter.  Heather works down the hall from me, and over...

Megan & Jeremy.

August is a month full of weddings for me. The second this month took place on a gorgeous late summer day. It could not have been more perfect — dramatic, cloudy sky. A slight breeze. Lots of fun shooting locations… and a beautiful couple. Congratulations, you two! And again, be sure to check out...

Lauren & Rick.

Lauren and Rick were married this past Friday in downtown Milwaukee, and it was fabulous… start to finish. The weather was perfect (especially since the wedding took place at 4 pm so we were able to avoid most of the mid-day sun). The venues were gorgeous. All the details (coordinated by the super smooth and...

sometimes i feel like dancing…

I just finished up editing a wedding from earlier this summer, and I had such a fun time going through their reception photographs. Lots of times with weddings I will convert most of the reception/dancing photos to black and white. Something about black and white seems to suit these kinds of images. Maybe because the...
