Out & About… | Milwaukee Nature Photography

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

So… as a lot of you know we have been asked by Shorewood to be the official photographers for the Shorewood BID’s Public Art event again this year, which is: Best Seats in the House. This event is going to be absolutely amazing, as 40 artists have created masterpieces by painting, mosaicing, and other mediums to the benches and will be displayed at 41 area  businesses in the Business District of Shorewood. (yes, Gloss is hosting yet another amazing artist this year).

Anyways, we photographed all of these beautiful benches at different Shorewood locations, and the last of the benches on Day 3 were photographed at a beautiful home on Lake Drive in Shorewood.

Sorry people, I am not giving any Sneak Peeks of the amazing benches to come, but here are some Sneak Peeks of some of the beautiful landscaping at this home…

Enjoy…

my favorite… look at that view behind me! That’s all cliff and Lake Michigan… wowza!

ProjectStella has been going strong with shoots, even though the Pet Contest is over and the votes have been tallied… I am not going to tell you the very special winners who raised the most money. I will say, there might be some honorable mentions at the ProjectStella event.

With the newest press in Milwaukee Magazine online, we have extended our pet shoot opportunity of ProjectStella until next Friday…

And then Saturday the 27th is the BIG day, the ProjectStella Open House from 3-7pm… we are going to have a blast with our amazing Silent Auction, music, refreshments, snacks, & winner announcements.

Brady Street… | Milwaukee Commercial Photography

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

 

I had the great pleasure of shooting this very fine couple on Brady Street for some upcoming promotional materials for the Brady Street BID.

Brady Street has such an awesome, unique environment! Great shopping and cafes all along their strip… it’s perfect!

We look forward to working with our new friends in the near future on some really exciting marketing ideas and photography for Brady Street’s Business District.

Here are a few of my favorites from the shoot with a tie-in to Valentine’s Day & shopping on Brady Street…

Shorewood Holiday Shopwalk…

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009
Shorewood’s Annual Holiday Shopwalk was last Saturday… and boy, was it a blast.
We hosted one of 20 of the area ice carvers who made an amazing ice sculpture of a waterfall… falling into the street… it was great! Which ended up literally falling into the street over the night:( There were also carolers and other fun things going on at Gloss and other businesses this day… it truly was a magnificent day!
Come out to Shorewood and walk up Oakland & Capitol to view all these beautiful masterpieces of ice.
Happy Holidays.
… remember to Shop local this season.
