North East Wisconsin model Dani California has been my working partner a few times in recent years. She is fun, easy to work with, and has the "sparkle" that really comes out in her work! Dani is on Instagram @danicalifornia1986 and works with Meraki Tribe and America's Most Wanted Models. Our most recent shoot was on a cold and rainy evening in Oshkosh. The plan was to shoot with the full moon rising in the background over Lake Winnebago. Wouldn't you know it but the clouds rolled in about 20 minutes before moon rise! Of course, they rolled out again…
We did a some digital portraits after a recent tintype test session. TLKonfire (also know as Tia) is a Fox Valley Wisconsin fire artist and sat for this series of impromptu portraits. We didn't really plan this set and I used a monolite strobe with a softbox to back light Tia during some fun poses. Through clever, and mostly fortuitous, manipulation of the exposure and flash level we ended up with some amazing cinematic images. Our first image, let's call it "Artist with Firefly", is an amazing silhouette of Tia with her hair and outline glowing from the light. You…
We met in Door county and spent a wonderful day together exploring their favorite spots. Part of the joy of wedding photography is to be able to have fun on an engagement shoot. This is also an important day as it is a chance to work together and build our relationship. The wedding day can be a bit hectic and stressful so it is important to build trust before hand. Our session also had a bonus day! After the Door county adventure they asked if we could do a few more pictures at Seth's Coffee. The best part was we…

I sometimes do a bit of wedding video production even though photography, still images, are my first love. I produced a wedding ceremony video for Katrina and Nick's lakeside wedding. I used three cameras for this ceremony and 4 audio recordings (the cameras and the house sound system). I placed two of the cameras on the sides of the ceremony so that each would capture a different view. These cameras were left in place for the entire ceremony. I place the third camera on my monopod and moved around to capture different views and close ups of important moments. Here…
