Shoot the Moon Photography was so excited to be commissioned by Scott and Laura to capture their beautiful Milwaukee wedding!   The ceremony was in a beautiful church in Racine, Wisconsin.  Laura wore a beautiful designer gown and Scott looked handsome too!  They were joined by their siblings Mike and Maren as attendants.  After the beautiful fall wedding reception, we trekked between Racine and Milwaukee making a few stops along the way– a beautiful pond, a fun arch, a third ward location (complete with a quick Snakebite shot at The Wicked Hop in the Third Ward!) before heading to the Pfister for their beautiful Reception.

Belle Fiori did the amazing flowers and Sound By Design implemented both beautiful and classic uplighting as well as great DJ services with David and Luke.

We set up a photo booth at the reception which was a hoot!  Enjoy your sneak peek– more to come!  Thank you for selecting Shoot the Moon Photography to capture your beautiful wedding day!

In 10+ years a photography studio has not been featured, so you can imagine our delight when Shoot the Moon Photography was named into the “Best Of” Edition of Milwaukee Magazine!  Its in the October issue.. check it out!

Yesterday I was able to spend the day working with a talented photographer from MN who wanted to tweak the business aspect and get some fresh new ideas!  We spent the day (and a yummy lunch!) chatting, brainstorming and coming up with a game plan!  Thank you so much for a fun day!

I had a wonderful testimonial waiting for me in my am email box!  You made my day. I look forward to all of your profitable updates, Christina!

Anyone looking for a fresh photographer in Minneapolis, I would highly recommend!

After wrapping up spending my day working with Joy I am truly inspired. I have met a lot of incredible people but Joy, her ambition, motivation, confidence (but no ego), sassy attitude & sense of humor has to be at the top of the list. I loved her no nonsense, no fluff sense of style and am excited for the next level in my photography business. If you are ready… I highly recommend spending the day with Joy!! I would do it again if she would have me back!

best, Christina McCormick

UPDATE:  Christina emailed me less than a week after her private mentoring session to say that she just had her first $4000+ sale! (up 10x her previous average prior to mentoring!)

In Conjunction with the Delafield Art Walk and in celebration of Mother’s day, the merchants of Downtown Delafield hosted a “Queen for a Day” Raffle.  Our lucky winner, Kate was treated to breakfast, a makeover, photo session from us, lunch, treats from all the area businesses and much much more!

She chose to spend the day with her friend and daughter, and I was lucky enough to have photographed them all!  Kate- you are beautiful! Thank you for the amazing photo shoot today!

You know when you find an amazing product and you want to just tell everyone?  I am in love with personalized books from “Where in the World”.

As the mom of two children with somewhat uncommon names, they look in every trinket shop for a license plate, keychain or thimble with their name on it. They are also amazed that I can find so many Holiday Ornaments with my name on it (Joy) and they can’t!   I found the perfect gift..

Where in the World Books makes personalized books and products that are truly special.  The stories and artwork are about the child they are meant for.  T

For example, there is a book called “Thats my Dog” (Also available in Spanish) where you personalize not only the BREED of your dog, but the name.  The name isnt even woven only throughout the story, but its also in the illustration as well.

In the book “I want to Read my Name in Lights”  your child will be an integrated part of the story.

I spoke with the Author and creator, Jan Krystkowiak, and she has great plans for the next release which is coming out April 1 and will be focused on the active military duty, talking about why they are gone from home, how much they love their son, daughter, nephew etc, and allows for not only personalization of the person but also the line of duty (i.e. navy, airforce etc.)

If it wasnt good enough, this amazing company donates a significant amount to relevant charities!  This is my new favorite gift to give.. it will make amazing baby gifts and also my kids will have fun giving them to their friends!  No more worries over duplicate gifts– this is one of a kind!

Whenever I get my haircut I always leave the salon feeling so stylish and smelling so clean from all the perfect potions they use on my head.  Not only do I smell good but the stylists at De Riah Salon and Spa in Cedarburg, Wisconsin also massage your head, neck and shoulders!  De Riah has a trained staff that really takes the time to get to know their clientele.  They don’t just put you in a chair, ask what you are wanting done that day and start to cut away.  They listen to what it is that you want, ask how you do your own hair on a daily basis and if you notice anything that bothers you about your hair.  They don’t tell you that its the products that you are using and ask that you purchase their products, they actually train you on how you should do your hair based on the type of hair that you have and the style that you are used to wearing.  When I told my stylist what I had trouble with when I style my hair she actually helped me understand why I was having an issue and then taught me how to fix it.  Yes, I see her using product and I always ask her what she’s using and how she uses it but I never hear that the reason I have trouble with my hair is because of the products that I am using or NOT using.  With me, its user error!  I’m just not that talented with a hairdryer and a round brush.  They also fill out a prescription sheet of all the products that they used on my hair.  That way, I can continue to use what I have but if I want to purchase something, anyone at De Riah can help me.  Its an educational experience that I truly look forward to and one of these days I will walk around everyday, not just “hair day”, as if I just walked out of the De Riah!  However, I first need to get rid of my 2 left hands.  Find out how fun it is to relax, have your hair played with and your shoulders massaged at De Riah Salon and Spa in the historic Wittenburg Mansion in downtown Cedarburg Wisconsin.   deriahsalon.com   262-376-1988  Give them a call and book your spa day just because!
