Austin and Sammy

Sammy and Austin were referrals from another Model, Ali… and were so much fun to shoot outside at our Delafield studio on one of our early spring days! Thanks so much for modeling for Shoot the Moon! We look forward to your next session! milwaukeesenior pictures milwaukee_graduation_photography delafield_photography milwaukee_senior_photos senior_pictures high_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!

FRED Models Rock the Cold!

Models really do do it all! Despite freezing temps outside, a couple of weekends ago I was lucky enough to work with some great models who rocked some fun spring fashion! The girls were modeling the latest trends from Fred Boutique (524 N Water St, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202 ) Check out their stuff at www.fredboutique.com and get ready for spring!

Two great photography sessions!

First I was able to photography Aubrey. I’ll nickname her Aubrey Hepburn. She came in on her birthday for a fun session at Shoot the Moon Photography. Happy birthday! We are glad you shared it with us!

Emma and Evan: Fun Family Portraits!

Emma and Evan were so great to work with! I love Emma’s beautiful skin and hair and Evan had a really fun attitude! Thanks for coming into Shoot the Moon Photography for family portraits! milwaukeefamilyportraits milwaukeekidphotography

2010 Senior Picture Model: Ellie

Ellie is another model for Shoot the Moon. Ellie attends Cedarburg High School and was so much fun to work with for her senior portraits! Ellie let us totally play and try fun, new techniques and modeled a new vintage hat we had. So very cool!

Coming in for portraits? We love funky. Bring it on.

We are still looking for additional models from each school. Friends of Ellie can also see her to get an “invitation” to use Shoot the Moon Photography for your senior photos and get a cool, special offer! Milwaukee_Senior_Pictures Senior_pictures_Milwaukee

Scarves: No longer just keeping you warm, they keep you in style

I’m always looking for ways to accent my plain jeans and a t-shirt look. You know, the grocery shopping, errand running, late-for-class outfit that just seems to pull itself out of your closet. One of my favorite accessories to add is a colorful, textured scarf. From bright yellow to white and black plaid, scarves give something boring and easy, thought and style. Don’t think you need to spend $90 on a nice scarf from Bloomingdales. Some of my favorite places to go to find these amazing and affordable scarves are H&M, Forever21 and Fred. This accessory is also a great way to add that “something” to your portraits!

2010 Senior Photography Model: Erika

Erika was such fun today! She had the best hair! I’m so excited to do the 2nd half of her model session in Spring! Erika goes to Nicolet High School and is a senior photography model for Shoot the Moon Photography

*Note: We are still on the hunt for a few more models from the class of 2010. Contact us at joy@stmphoto.com or 262-240-9848 if you are interested * You will earn free senior pictures!

Shoot the Moon Photography: High School Senior Portrait models!

Shoot the Moon is still accepting models for the Class of 2010 for senior pictures! If you yourself would like to model, or know someone, we would be happy to inform you about the program. Please email info@stmphoto.com or call 262-240-9848 for information. Shoot the Moon Photography specializes in hip, trendy high school senior pictures and graduation photos in Milwaukee and the surrounding areas.

I was lucky enough to have a great model session today! She had a great attitude and made the session a breeze. She also knew to bring in great green hues that brought out her amazing green eyes. Good choice! Thanks for coming in!
