Driftless Ridge

Ten days ago I made my way down into the nearby park. I usually test shoot my gear just before entering. I use a farm on the next ridge over as my focal point. That day there was a really nice contrast when sunlight broke through the clouds behind me.

Out There

Here's another photo from my session covering the equestrian trails in Donald County Park. This particular assignment came at a very critical time. On the day before I took this photo I had been at the gym when I I got the call to do the shoot. It was a beautifully sunny week. I really loved the vivid colors of fall that all around our town. I felt like I needed to be doing some sort of promotional shot for the for the local Chamber of Commerce. Not ten minutes later they called me to set up this local travel shot. And then the shoot turned out to be an amazing experience. I got to know a couple of interesting people who were very welcoming to me as well a finally "discover" just how amazing the trails in this park actually are. It has also brought home to me that I really never go into the park directly beside my house. A place I'd once spent so many hours. Hmmmm...

Genuine Mirth

As the Bride recites her wedding vows she mentions something of a personal, humorous nature that causes her Groom to react. It's these honest interactions that I enjoy capturing the most. There's no set up. No staging. Just two people who know how to laugh together.

Painting with Light

After a lovely ceremony at the always beautiful Olbrich Gardens it was time for the portrait session. This particular couple hired me specifically for this part of the photographic journey that is taking wedding photos. They patiently waited while I set up my flash systems. I believe I used six Canon Speedlite 600EX II‑RT controlled by a shoe mounted Canon St‑e3‑rt Speedlite. I love this system. I can carefully control the light output of each of the units until I get the exact look I want. It can take a few minutes to get everything just right but it's well worth it for the couple if they want a nicely designed portrait. Once I have everything set I just tell them to be themselves and the love naturally seems to come through.

White Collar Boxing

I have finally completed processing the photos from the White Collar Boxing event. I shot around 7,000 photos over the course of ten bouts. It took a while to sort through them all, let me tell you. The galleries can be accessed via the Featured Content section on my Homepage which linked on my profile. To any of the fighters who want to purchase copies, if you want more than just a few prints please contact me directly. I can create a custom ordering package to save you some money. I am sharing a percentage of my profits with the Bob Lynch Boxing Foundation. Their aim is to promote amateur boxing here in the Madison area through training.

The First Kiss

It was perfect lakeside wedding ceremony on a brilliantly sunny day. As the officiant prepared to say, "You may now kiss the Bride." I quickly and unobtrusively knelt down in the aisle. Little did I know this wasn't going to be just any kiss but a grand gesture of romance and adoration. I love how happy she looks!
