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.

And baby makes four.

I’m delighted to introduce baby F to the world. He is the little brother of Mr. M, and the whole family came into the studio a little while back for a newborn session.  Baby F was snuggly and sleepy, big brother M was curious and sweet, and the whole thing was just pretty delightful. I’m...

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...

up north.

This was a special extended session. It involved some absolutely breathtaking scenery, one of my favorite little models (you’ve seen her a bunch of times before) and her beautiful pregnant mom.  A bit of explanation is needed… the mom-to-be is a friend of mine, and she invited me up to their absolutely beautiful cabin in...

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...

an afternoon with miss e.

I recently had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with a lovely couple from Nebraska and their adorable little 7 week old, Miss E. They came into the studio for a sort of newborn/new baby session (7 weeks is later than I’d really consider a newborn session, but she certainly still has that undeniable sense...

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...
