Green Bay Senior Pictures, Betsy – Class of 2012

Posted in: Class of 2012, Green Bay, high school senior pictures

Betsy is a 2012 high school senior at Green Bay Notre Dame. She picked a wonderful location, Heritage Hill State Historical Park, to shoot at. A place that I have never had the opportunity to shoot at. As the memories came flowing back of the many hours spent there as a child with her father, Besty and her mother shared stories of the past as I filled a few gigs of storage with pictures. Picking a location that you are comfortable in and means something to you personally makes your senior picture experience that much more fun. Best of luck on your senior year, Betsy!

I still have a few available sessions in August call 920-254-9087 or [contact me] to book your session today!

Dailies: Breakdown #2

Posted in: Dailies: Breakdown, photography

Today I’m sharing a shot that has actually surprised me with the way that the camera handled the exposure and the sharpness of the tops of the grass. It impresses me every time that I look at this shot. I was out for a mind-clearing drive through the country with the windows down and the sounds of The Black Keys coming through the speakers when I spotted this tall grass out of the corner of my eye as i checked for traffic at the only four-way-stop in miles. Gets me thinking that this shot might be a little bit of fate, if you believe in that stuff. Read more after the jump…

Dailies: Breakdown #1

Posted in: Dailies: Breakdown, Street Photography

Welcome to the first of a new series of blog posts entitled: “Dailies: Breakdown #”

This is a self assessment, critique, and discussion about a certain photograph from my Dailies collection of photographs. In no particular order I wish to simply share what I was thinking and seeing when I took the photo. How it works and doesn’t work as a picture, what I would change if I could shoot it again.

The Dailies series has been a very large amount of fun for me so far. There is a certain amount of satisfaction looking back at some of these pictures, other times there are bittersweet moments of life.

Green Bay Senior Portraits, Ava – Class of 2012

Posted in: Class of 2012, Green Bay, high school senior pictures

Introducing the beautiful Ava, a 2012 high school senior from Green Bay Notre Dame. She came to me wanting something that would be unique and would be something other than the “standard” look of senior pictures. We decided to use the exterior of her dad’s architect studio as well as a few other locations that I had carefully scouted before her session. Finding unique locations to match each session’s vision is a high priority and is what truly makes the senior portrait experience that much more memorable.

Why I Am In Love With This Black Box, My Camera

Posted in: Inspiration, What Photography is to Me

When people ask what I do for a living; I tell them that I am a Photographer. When people ask what hobbies I have; I tell them I make pictures. When they ask what my one true love is; I tell them my Camera. My Camera and I have been through more life changing, eye-opening and landmark moments together than anything in my life.
