Reed and Family – Extended Family Portraits, Baraboo WI Photographer

Reed just celebrated his first birthday! His Grandma invited me to his house in Baraboo WI to capture him at this milestone age. Since everybody was there for his party it was also a great opportunity to create some extended family portraits. We were hoping that an unusually warm weather will last until the day of our session and allow us to have some outdoor fun. But it didn’t, so when I arrived to their house on one freezing January morning  we decided to stay indoors. The house was bright and with some furniture moved aside one wall turned into a perfect portrait background. Reed is not walking yet, but he is FAST. Together with his 3-year-old brother they did their best to challenge my chasing skills. Here are a few sneak peeks of what I was able to capture Happy Birthday, Reed!

Modern Headshots – Madison WI Headshots Photographer

Almost everybody nowadays has some kind of online presence. It’s a must if you are a business owner. If your business has a website – you need a great headshot to go with it to make your business more personal. You only have a few seconds to make a great first impression . Chris and Mark contacted me recently because they needed some contemporary headshots for their websites and company brochures and I was happy to help them with that. We worked outside in natural light (they were brave in cold Wisconsin winter) and created these relaxed business portraits. Here are a few of their favorites…

Wisconsin River on a Frosty Morning – Prairie du Sac, WI Photographer

This is how the world three blocks from our house looked this morning. Normally we just drive by it without paying much attention. Today (even though it was close to zero F) I decided to stop and just look. I need to do this more often

Thank you so much for participating in my first ever best photo contest I hope you had as much fun as I did following your excitement and all the comments and “likes” on Facebook. This week I was faced with a challenging task of validating and tallying up all the votes.  After counting and re-checking everything three times I can share with you now that the winners are… Kathleen and Ryan from image #31! Their prize is a beautiful 16×20 float wrap with a wedding image of their choice. Congratulations! But that is not all… Originally I didn’t plan on having a second place, however I decided to offer it after all the effort that Jessica and Brett (from image #26) put into campaigning for their winning portrait. With just a few votes less than the winning couple, they will receive an 11×14 art print.

Thanks again for all your kind words and support, it truly means a lot It was a great 2011 thanks to all of you and now I am looking forward to an even better 2012!
