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.

a {furry} tribute.

It has taken me quite a while to get this blog post up. I actually shot this session last fall, in the midst of all the craziness. And now things are somewhat less crazy, but I wanted to make sure I had the time to do this post right. I was contacted by a father...

if wishes were horses…

When I was a little girl, I was obsessed with animals (confession: I still sort of am). I wanted to be a veterinarian, but high school chemistry class ended that dream. Growing up, we had dogs, hamsters, fish and a rabbit, but I always really really wanted a horse. My aunt and uncle used to...

winter.

Not ten minutes ago, I took these two pics of my snow dog Kieran. He’s the absolute opposite of a camera hog, and usually hides from the camera. So any pics with him not hiding his face are a treasure. I love his snowy whiskers. Enjoy the snow!

wrapping up a year.

This is another one of my Baby Sprout clients. I photographed her newborn session, and then I was lucky enough to see her three more times in her first year. She’s a one year old and not a baby anymore, and this was the last session of the four. It’s always a little bittersweet for...

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...

3 dogs, 3 cats, 2 rats and a bunny later…

This morning I had the incredibly awesome opportunity to photograph some super cute animals at the Dane County Humane Society for one of their upcoming projects (details on that soon).  All of the animals I photographed were either currently up for adoption or had been adopted previously from the shelter. We had a pretty wide...

Favorite moments of 2008.

First an administrative note: The studio will be closed from this weekend through January 5 to allow me to celebrate the holidays with my family. I will be checking e-mails throughout the holidays, but it may take me just a bit longer than usual to get back to you. I also have some wonderful photos...

Snow Dog.

Since it’s only December and it seems to fit with the holiday mood, I can admit that I sort of enjoy it. It’s a different story come around February or so. Then I’m ready for summer and warm weather. My dog on the other hand? He’s frankly happy to be anywhere I am. And he...

Autumn with the Animals.

It’s almost Halloween! I have to admit that even as a full-grown adult (I guess…) Halloween is still one of my favorite holidays. I especially enjoy the little kids in costumes and all the fun decorations. I’ve recently signed up to volunteer with the Dane County Humane Society to take photographs of some of their...
