I am in fabulous Boston!!! I just got done shooting a wedding on the 33rd floor of 60 State Street. The venue was amazing. I am so exhausted right now I can't even think of all the amazing shots I took.
I am so excited! I just booked my trip to Boston to second shoot a wedding for Gwyneth Colleen Photography. This opportunity is amazing. The wedding is going to be held here and overlooks Quincy Market which will still be decorated for Christmas. I hope to have many wonderful shots of my trip and the wedding.
Another amazing weekend of shooting! I had one "fearless" bridal session and one engagement session. I feel like I took some chances and got some great shots!

I thought I'd post this one in the spirit of Halloween. This is an image taken at sunset on October 27, 2007 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The temperature outside was a chilling 46 degrees. Once that sun went down it got cold in a hurry.
Happy Halloween!

These shots are so much fun! I was able to photograph the Oberweiser family at Alicia Park in Appleton, Wisconsin. I posted a few of my favs.... I love the expression on the kids' faces. The artistic nature of the pose and the expression made me want to try something a little different in post production. I desaturated it a bit to make it real moody.

This image is part of the amazing "fearless bride/groom" session I shot on October 7, 2007 at my Aunt's farm in Kaukauna, WI. This shot was so cool because I told them to run towards each other. This is the end product of that direction. I love the embrace, the light, the movement of the hair and gown. Uh, this is why I am a photographer.
Some more reasons why I love what I do!
This amazing photo is from Theresa and Andy's wedding in Menasha, Wisconsin on September 15, 2007. They had an outdoor ceremony at Smith Park, the weather was cool and the sun was shinning!
I've really been getting into macro work. I am so happy to be able to offer this kind of photo for my couples. Every wedding I try something different. This shot was set up on the couple's program.
This shot is the second (only to one lighting test shot I did) of an unbelievable day of shooting. The location was in Kaukauna, Wisconsin at my Aunt Patti's farm. The bride is from July 14, 2007 and this day she was completely fearless!

I had the pleasure of working with Janelle and Eric again - and I invited the Great Scoobs of CS Photography in Milwaukee (aka Craig) to shoot along side me. It was so much fun feeding off of all the energy in the air. I almost couldn't sleep a wink last night because every shot kept popping out again in my mind. This shot was sniped by Craig. I love the way he composed the shot and the colors are amazing! Thanks for taking this!
This photo is from the last of 5 weddings in September. This was my second marathon shooting spree this season. It was a blast.
This wedding had the largest wedding party I've ever shot! There were 10 bridesmaids and 10 groomsmen, two bell-ringers, a miniature bride, a miniature groom and 2 ushers. It took a lot of work to keep everyone together and organized but we were able to capture all the special moments the bride and groom wanted. Including a balloon release!
This weekend I am planning on doing a "Fearless Bride/Trash the Dress" session. I will keep you posted on what location we end up with... it has been a hassle since the Green Bay Botanical Gardens are now closed on the weekend. We'll make it work.
UPDATE: Craig from CS Photography in Milwaukee is coming up on Sunday to join me in a few sessions. He is actually going to do some photos of myself in a gown which I am very excited about! Then we are headed down to Oshkosh to do a "Fearless Bride/Trash the Dress" session at M. Schettl, then we are off to a farm location in Kaukauna.

This is Becky and Jason. I had the pleasure of photographing their engagement session in the beginning of September. We had to hurry to get the location shots done before the storm rolled in. I can't wait to kick off the 2008 season with their wedding next spring!
Drew is turning one in a couple of weeks. I love him more and more everyday.
He is starting to learn to "turn it on" for the camera. I can't wait to see what kind of photo adventures we will share! He is my little doll.
This photo was taken at my cousin's wedding. They had unique place cards and collected corks for quite a while.
I was not the photographer of the wedding but I took some pretty neat shots - this is one. I am so happy for them. Congratulations Ben and Colleen!

I love looking back on photos from weddings I've shot. I am moving so fast and directing so many people. It is nice to look at a shot like this and see that I captured the "moment" that the couple will look back on and remember the way they felt at that moment!

I love this shot. I just dug it out from last season. I am having the time of my life this summer! I am shooting weddings every weekend and am booked until October. So far I've shot 8 weddings and have 9 more scheduled.
Some locations coming up are Cudahy, Delevan, Neenah and Milwaukee. Next weekend Craig from CS Photography in Milwaukee, and I are headed to the Green Bay Botanical Gardens to do a bridal session. It might end up being a little Trash the Dress, but never the less I am sooo excited to dress up in a designer gown and have my photos taken!
This photo was taken in the ladies room at the reception. I loved the 1930's original subway tiles. I applied a Kubota action to this to try to add some drama to the photo.
The bride and groom did this themselves. Like I said... DREAM COUPLE! I just told them to go into this structure. I originally wanted to do just the bride, but the groom's silouette just looked too amazing. I'm glad I saw the bigger picture.
This photo was inspired by Scoobs1969... what a great way to showcase the wedding bands. This shot is straight out of the camera... however I did do a slight color balance modification in Camera Raw.
This photo is one of the MANY awesome frames that I took at yesterday's wedding. Janelle and Eric were the dream couple. Sophisticated, stylish, and most of all totally in love! They just fell into every "pose".
I also tried something new at this wedding. I downloaded frames to my MacBook and did a small slideshow before we left. By this morning I had 3 brides inquiring for 2008! YAY!!!
I will create a set of more shots soon.
I love this shot. Look at the love that is beaming from their eyes! I nailed this one! Very proud!
This belly was photographed at 39 weeks! Nadine had half of her photos taken in her wedding gown - she is one great looking mamma!

Waiting area of Orthopedic Specialists in Appleton. Their new building showcases furniture from Nordon Business Environments.
This image is a panoramic created in Photomerge in Photoshop. I took 3 images and merged them to create a wide angle view of the lobby area.
I was hired to take photos for my husband's company, Nordon Business Environments. The interiors of these buildings are quite beautiful. In this lobby to the right there is a 2 story water feature. Windows allow natural light to fall into the enormous waiting area. In the winter the fireplace can keep patients warm while catching up with a magazine.
Nordon Business Environments has the ability to design entire office interiors. They specialize in space planning, installation, system furniture and much more.
