Stella + Striker’s Halloween…

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

Stella & Striker (and their parents) attended a fundraiser at the Humane Society last Tuesday, the Halloween Howl.

It was an absolute blast and we got a bunch of laughs at our doggies’ expense… haha.

Stella&Striker went as a Bride & Groom… (I made Stella’s dress FYI) … anyways we made a quick stop to the studio to shoot a few corny photos of Striker&Stella on their wedding day… haha

Enjoy.
Happy Halloween.

Gallery Night @Gloss…

Thursday, October 29th, 2009
We had such an amazing even last weekend as we hosted a Gallery Night at Gloss. We featured an amazing painter, Ted Wilcox. It was an awesome turn out and a lot of fun!

Ted Wilcox

fun cheeses & refreshments… yummy!

Sam Winters = our DJ for the evening providing some great tunes

I love getting flowers :)

owners of SHOP, Mary & Liz Leblanc

Anne in deep, deep conversation with Ted (sorry Anne, just had to add this one) ha.

We had a lil’ visitor: Rosie!

And unfortunately, when the studio got packed I all-of-a-sudden had a million things to do and stopped shooting…
Thanks to EVERYONE who made it out to our quarterly Gallery Night. It was a total success. Paintings by Ted Wilcox will remain on display until the end of December & there are still a few pieces that have not sold… stop on in or call the studio for a private showing.
If you or someone you know might be interested in being featured at Gloss for our Gallery Night please contact us.

Cutsy Ella…

What an adorable session we had with Ella not too long ago… this little Princess was perfect for Demask & Tutus all the way!

What a doll…

I’m a ‘anything-for-the-shot’ type of gal… we had a beautifully stressful few moments as we propped baby Ella up on a fabulous antique painted console… Daddy was nearby for the dive on a few occassions, as Mommy paced behind me… it was hilarious! All of us were giggling through this whole shoot!

Enjoy the Sneak Peeks…

(my favorite) which is being hung in our storefront window as I type… :)

Chrissy+Brett | Downtown Mke

Here’s the funtabulous story of the who, the what, the where, AND the why…

I photographed Chrissy’s sister, Jen’s, wedding this past summer. Chrissy totally freaked at my style and how beautiful her sister’s photographs were. I didn’t realize it at the time, but she was really excited and bummed about it at the same time…

Chrissy and Brett got married 3 years ago at a beautiful church on the East side, and the reception at Pier Wisconsin/Discovery World, but have no photographs… nothing… to show from their beautiful day! Something happened with the photographer, which I will not disclose on my blog or discuss in general, but because of that they have NOTHING! It is so, so sad!

My past bride, her other sister, and Brett set up this whole amazing day for Chrissy. They snuck her dress out from storage and had it hanging in the studio. Jen told everyone she had to pick up some photography products from Gloss and they had to make a stop before brunch… SURPRISE! Chrissy thought her day would consist of driving back home to Chicago and relaxin’…. but NOOOO…. we had an amazing day of shootin’!

I am so happy we were able to give Chrissy and Brett back some of their incredibly special day.

Enjoy the Sneak Peeks.
