Our family took a trip to Key west recently and stumbled upon a pretty cool place…..A butterfly garden! It was amazing! There were hundreds of butterflies all around us and I just happened to have my camera. Enjoy!

You want your wedding to be special, to be unique. Try this on for size. As Madison Wedding Photographers, we are always on the look out for the next best thing for our brides and grooms. Antics is a local Madison company that makes flip-books of you and your guests in a matter of minutes. Megan and I met Chris and Sarah of Antics at a Wisconsin Brides Magazine get together. We thought the flip-books were impressive and a total blast. They take a short video of you, and your new Hubby, (Your guests can make their own video too) kissing, holding a Just married sign, wearing goofy props, etc; and within a few short minutes produce a flip book from that video. Vist Antics at www.AnticsFlipbooks.com and check out their video below.

Spring time came early this year in Madison and my cousin Jenny and her family took advantage of all the blossoms popping at the Olbrich Gardens. unfortunately after a 2 weeks of 70 and 80 degree weather we caught the fist day of the cool down, but the kids did really great. It was great to knock the dust off the camera after my “winter break”.
While my speciality is photographing weddings, I have been getting a lot opportunities to shoot portrait work and families. I decided that it was time to create a gallery on my website showcasing those cute kids, families and portrait work I have done in past couple years. Check out the gallery here. Remember to share us on Facebook or Pin your favorite photos at Pinterest.

While searching for fun props for a vintage type fashion shoot, I stumbled upon The Antique Mall of Madison. It had just the things I was looking for and already set up for a shoot! The Manager and Owner were very accommodating to me and agreed to let us set up shop and get some fun vintage type shots. The Antique Mall of Madison is located on Cottage Grove Rd and is a fun place to spend an hour or two.
Our model Alyssa had some great clothes for the shoot and did a terrific job keeping it classy and true to vintage style I was going for. Enjoy the photos!

We get a little down time during the winter months in beautiful Wisconsin. It’s hard to believe no one wants to get married in the lovely month of February. Thanks to our friends at Sunday’s Best, we were able to keep the studio for the month of December. The studio was located at The Peoples Art Collective on Park Street in Madison. Great people!
“The Burton Shoot”
Erin Eliza (who was fabulous) and I found each other on Model Mayhem, a site for photographers, models, makeup artist etc, to network with each other. Erin wanted to put together a “Tim Burton” themed photo shoot. I am a big fan of Tim Burton and was excited to get the chance to try to create something that fell in line with that particular style. While I don’t have endless pockets to create a magical set like Burton often does, I knew if I used high contrast materials and played with size I could give a bit of Burton feel. Creating the set was challenging to say the least (photography and set creation are two totally different arenas!), but Erin was able to tie everything together for us and the result is a good start to studio photography. The lighting was extremely challenging. I hid the strobes behind the barber chair and had difficulty blowing out all the whites due to the black cloth blocking some of the light flash.
With our remaining time we headed outside behind the studio to snap some more. It sure is easier to shoot what other people already built! Here are the results……

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 12,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 4 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

When our good friends, Amy and Emily Jolly asked us to do a photo shoot to promote their new T-shirt business, we were thrilled! We are long time fans and these Ts are great. They are soft, comfy and stylish. We had a lot of fun photographing the T’s on several great models. Be sure to visit Sunday’s Best to pick up your own.
Thanks to Kj, Keisha, Kayla and Tyler.
