knock knock – is this thing on?

well hello there!  it’s been awhile, hasn’t it?  when i wrote the most recent blog carousel post, i noticed that this blog hadn’t been updated in over two months!  that’s especially crazy because i have no less than one zillion sessions that i’m dying to post.

2012 started off with a(nother) new studio location.  i know, right?   i just think of it as my tour of milwaukee’s third ward studio spaces.  you’ll love it, though, and as soon as you see it, you’ll see why i moved again so quickly.  it’s bright and airy and bright and peaceful and did i mention bright? the window light, oh how i missed that.  nine HUGE windows bring in glorious natural light.  cream city brick, funky stained concrete, really really awesome.  as soon as the prints are up on the wall, i’ll post some photos for you.

let’s start with images from last fall’s portrait day, since i get the most requests to post these  (and yes, i will get them up on facebook for you guys, too!).  aren’t they FUN?  i love portrait day, it’s such a great way to grab a few really awesome photographs of your kids in between regular sessions.

are you ready for a LOT of photos?  they may take a bit to load!

blog carousel | alternative cameras

i think any professional photographer would agree that publicly posting their random daily snapshots can be a little bit of a nerve wracking experience.  this month’s theme for our blog carousel is “alternative cameras” and while i had big plans of pulling out one of my medium format cameras, or at least my trusty little point-n-shoot, that just never happened because the truth of the matter is, i use my iphone to document just about everything in our day to day lives.

a walk to the park on the last dry day of winter (right before milwaukee saw it’s first snow of the season).  we found a nest of some sort, and my girls invented some very elaborate game involving sticks, counting down and hiding.

a shot of rachel and me – she’s 7 now, can you believe it?   and two of ellie’s many faces – i love her face so much, i want to eat it up!

rachel in the snow, trying to catch snowflakes on her tongue.  my girls are lucky to have a daddy born and raised in wisconsin because i prefer sit in a warm house and watch the snow play from the window!  (edited with snapseed – an iphone app that i love love love – you can very quickly and easily edit any photo taken with your iphone.  it’s great!)

Anna-Karin - I loved seeing your beautiful girls and how you capture them on a daily basis. So nice to see you in one of the photographs as well!Sunday, January 22, 2012

alpana - My favorite photos tend to be random moments! It is so great to see pics of your little ones here – that pouty face is adorable!!Monday, January 23, 2012

Dena Robles - First of all I love that you say “i love her face so much, i want to eat it up!” I think a few of the great benefits of using the iphone camera for our day-to-day photos, as you show, is that we can be very discreet since it is small and catch them unaware, but on the other hand, they aren’t as intimidated when we aren’t discreet, so a lot of fun personality bursts through.Monday, January 23, 2012

marmalade - That last one made me laugh, these are wonderful. Such beautiful girls!Monday, January 23, 2012

June - Wonderful documentation of everyday life. That last image is definitely a keeper!Monday, January 23, 2012

Julie - Your baby is adorable! I love her face too! These are a wonderful use of the iphone for everyday but artistic images. So great!Monday, January 23, 2012

Mary Beth - Christine – these are adorable! Your girls are gorgeous. I read recently that professional photographers often lose the art of the simple snapshot in documenting daily life. Seeing these is inspiring because I love my iphone for the same reason and need to use it even more than I do!Monday, January 23, 2012

Samara Hutcheson - Love these! The light on the image with your girls and there stick game is so cool. xoMonday, January 23, 2012

Danna - these are all so awesome!! So many great moments. :) Tuesday, January 24, 2012
