Jessica: Senior Model 2010

Jessica had quite the morning. First, track meet, then photo shoot! I was really glad she could come in and model for us. Here are a few of her images. I used some new fabric in the studio and really love how it looks. Also we snuck outside to get some shots before the snow comes 🙂

How do you spend your day off?

Yesterday I was lucky enough to spend Maya’s day off of school with her when she came to the studio to be my mini-model! Not only did Maya and her mom bring great outfits, they brought lots of spunk which made for an awesome session! Check out a few favorites!

We look forward to your next session!milwaukeesenior picturesmilwaukee_graduation_photographydelafield_photographymilwaukee_senior_photossenior_pictureshigh_school_graduation

Jack

I can’t believe Jack is already 1 year old! It seems like just last week we were photographing him at only days old…

Jack has the most unbelievable eyelashes as well! Even as a newborn they were long!

Thank you for a great first year Jack! I look forward to many more birthdays together!

Really great marketing materials!

We are often approached by other businesses regarding our marketing materials. We put great time and thought into our marketing pieces and love to put a little flair into our marketing just as we do for our portraits. Our literature is all custom designed in-house by our amazing graphic design and digital art team, but we do our unqiue printing at various sources.

One place we have found for awesome postcards and business cards is 4colorprint.com <a href=”http://4colorprint.com”>4colorprint.com</a> Their “silk cards” are lovely. Customer service has been impeccable and their pricing very competitive, plus they do custom die cutting, which when you are looking for something a little out of the ordinary is a plus!

Shoot the Moon Model: Steph

I was really happy to meet Steph today. She came in with a great attitude and we had a lot of fun during her shoot. We even chatted about our common interest, photography! Check out a few of her images. Shoot the Moon ModelShoot the Moon ModelShoot the Moon Model
