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!

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.

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...

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!

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...

completely booked for 2009.

As of a couple of weeks ago, I am completely booked for 2009.  With my second child due in December, I am taking on a reduced schedule in early 2010 (I will be photographing current Baby Sprout and past clients only) but will be back to my normal schedule starting in April 2010.  If you...

fall portraits and holiday cards.

It is officially October. Pumpkins, apple cider, football games and autumn leaves. And in my world, it also means that I am extremely busy trying to fit in a number of portrait sessions in the next few weeks before I officially start my maternity leave. I’ve had a number of inquiries in the past few...

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...

quick update, an apology, and a few sneaky peeks

First, the update: the studio will be closed starting tomorrow (September 12) through Monday, September 21.  I will be sure to respond to all inquiries and questions when I return.
Then the apology: as a related note, I have recently discovered that, due to some phone switchover shenanigans, I have possibly missed a bunch of voicemails...

my munchkin.

I apologize for the lack of blog posts in the past few days. I haven’t been in the studio much, since my little guy T just turned two years old last week and we’ve been doing lots of celebrating/exploring with his grandparents (who are still in town, but are taking him to the zoo this...

So excited… I just can’t hide it.

I wanted to let you all know that the studio will be closed for one week (until next Monday, April 13). I will be down in the beautiful state of Georgia learning all kinds of great information at Learnfest. I’m super excited, and I’m sure that the information I bring back from this experience will...
