Slideshow

Stephanie and Mark's Wedding


With a bucket of products strewn about the table, the bride, not yet in the gown, gets her makeup applied. Its wedding time! I teamed up with Sean McCabe over at http://www.seanmccabedesign.com/main.html to shoot this fun couple's wedding. We got there early and had plenty of time to fiddle around with our gear and get some unique and interesting shots.

Head past the jump to see more amazing shots from the wedding

Kruszka Family Portraits


We drove up to Wisconsin for some family photos with the Kruszkas. The pictures were a surprise for their mom for Christmas. To get everyone in the shot, we moved outside and I moved onto a wobbly ladder.

Indoors, we set up a nice tan background for more formal shots.

Ally Senior Portraits


We met Ally over at her high school to take some scenic senior portraits. We walked all around the school looking for nice locations. This bell behind the school is on top of the hill overlooking the football fields.

The Kohouts Family Portraits


The Kohouts had their family pictures taken in their favorite local park. I took them into the woods for the shot above. The light coming through the trees made for a nice background. I had the ambient exposed at about -1.5ev and brought them back up using the strobes and shoot through umbrellas.

Then we moved to a brighter location. The whole family sat on the side of the bridge. Then we took some smaller group shots.

David and Ashley Engagement Portraits


We met David and Ashley at the Katherine Legge Lodge for a stunning engagement shoot.

One of their favorite photos was both of them upside down, hanging off a couch. We "updated" the photo by having them hang off a stone wall.

Random portraits of Michelle


This is just a set of photos of Michelle.

This was shot with a pretty basic clamshell setup. I had a Vivitar 2800-d on full power about 2 feet in front and 1 foot above her into a white shoot through umbrella. She held some white poster board below as a reflector. For the background, I had a Lumopro lp120 on 1/2 power hitting the white wall behind her.

Ria Senior Portraits



Ria isn't your typical senior and we didn't want to give her typical senior portraits. We went out to Indiana to an abandoned factory for some unique shots.

The rain came down just as we got there. It really added a nice touch to the background of some of the shots.

Matt and Katie



We took newlyweds Matt and Katie to Cantigny Park for some fun autumn portraits.

Brad and Amanda Family Portraits



We met Brad, Amanda, Philip and Maddie at a local park for some family pictures. Using all natural light, we captured some pretty special images.

Tracy and Larry



We met Tracy and Larry for some fun pictures in a local park. This was one of our first shoots. We used all natural light.
