Being a photographer, you end up shooting your family. A lot. What you don't realize is how you shoot them. It's usually a "oh, you need a picture for this program or this poster, ect" and we shoot it in under 20 minutes. My sister has been begging me to do a "real" shoot with her, and so, for her 13th birthday we went out and shot these. It was a "real" shoot where I actually put a good amount of time and thought in, and it was worth it. She was really happy with result, and so am I!

All the best, Maddison

Christa-Senior Pictures

So excited I'm finally posting the Senior pictures I shot with Miss Christa. What a beautiful smile this girl has! We had a great time and even though the weather was a little chilly, she wanted to wear that dress! Beauty is pain, right?

Engagement - Dan and Laura

Shot with Dan and Laura near lake Michigan on a lovely fall day. We had a great time and I am looking forward to shooting a beautiful January wedding. Congratulations Dan and Laura!

Stacey- Senior Pictures

Here's some shots from Stacey's senior picture session. I've known Stacey for forever, so doing her pictures was a blast, if a little strange...can't believe she's a senior already. Guess we're all growing up fast!

Wedding - Tom and Becca

Our first wedding. Fantastic. It is quite possible that I was more excited and nervous then the bride or groom. I had been looking forward to this ever since I first got the job in December. The few days before the wedding were full of making checklists and getting lenses/cameras/chargers organized. Then, at last the wedding day was here. I was incredibly nervous, but like anything else I do, as soon as I got my camera out and started shooting, I felt great. Don't get me wrong, it was bit stressful and there were a few bumps along the way, but on the whole, it was a wonderful day. Can't wait to shoot another!

All the best, Maddison

Some non-portraits

In the world of photography, it's easy to get stuck in a phase where you only shoot portraits. Now, while portraits are necessary and quite fun to do, I try and keep it somewhat balanced with what I call my "concept" photography. A picture that tells a story, or portrays a certain mood or emotion. Well, that's my intent at any rate...

Emily

A few shots from a fashion shoot with the beautiful Emily. Wore that dress in the 37 degree weather in the freezing cold water. What a dedicated model!

Marika

Great photoshoot with the lovely Marika!

Caroline

Lauren

Been taking quite a few portraits of children lately...

The Begining

Well. Here we are starting a photography blog. I don't know that when either of us picked up a camera for the first time we instantly knew this is what we were going to do, or had some incredible "revelation" as to how we would photograph things. I guess it just sort of "happened". At any rate, we hope you enjoy our work. Please comment and let us know what you think!

All the best,

Maddison and Ian
