Milwaukee Child Photographer

Jax, such a handsome guy! Being a Milwaukee child photographer means working with lots of fun personalities! Even from one year to the next, children grow and their personalities change so much. This cute guy came to me last year for his first birthday cake smash session at my previous studio. You can check out his smash session here on my blog!

Pouty Face

Being a two year old can be a big tough. Children are more aware if they are in a different kind of location they aren’t used to. Jax was a bit shy for his session this time vs. his cake smash last year. He really loved that gold balloon though. It was actually one thing he smiled and laughed at! Luckily his awesome Mom was fine with it being within most of his shots. As a Milwaukee child photographer, I’m usually working up a sweat trying to get kiddos to laugh and have fun! He kept wanted to go to Mom and Grandma during his session, so we tried a little trick to keep them in the front of my studio where he couldn’t see them. Jax decided after a while he was going to come to me, and ultimately didn’t want to let me go at the end of his session. We got quite a few adorable photos of this handsome boy, as well as a few hilarious pouty face images as well. He was the king of this towards the end of his 2nd birthday milestone session!

Ever hear of image stacking? Edit this snowflake along with me…

I decided a few weeks ago to pick up my macro lens, that I haven’t used in a while to try out some snowflake shots. ❄️

Not super easy. A lot of patience is required. 😂

I needed some special equipment to photograph these incredibly tiny and delicate snowflakes.

But it was so worth it. 💯

Since macro photography has a very shallow depth of field, it can be hard to get the entire snowflake on the same focal plane without moving it or having it lay completely flat on my surface. Resulting in some post process image stacking! Taking multiple shots with different parts of the snowflake in focus, then essentially stacking the images on top of each other so the entire snowflake is in focus. 🤗

Although this is a very simple tutorial using only 2 images, and the bottom of snowflake isn’t in focus. It gives you a great appreciation for macro photography, and the unseen beauty of winter in Wisconsin! ❄️❄️❄️

A fun little experiment this morning in the -37 degree weather here in Wisconsin. This happened within about 30 seconds! Yes I have some videos too, but putting together a ton of still images I took was way more fun. ❄️

WOW. 🤩

Not at all client related…. But absolutely worth a permanent spot on my feed!

I was so excited to catch a few shots of this beautiful, elusive snowy owl hanging out in Oak Creek. ❄️These owls come down from the arctic every few years, so it’s pretty rare for it to be hanging around. I had to walk across a frozen field for a slightly closer shot, while giving it lots of space. Of course like a true Wisconsinite I left my house with no hat or gloves in 23 degrees (11 with the wind chill). 😂 It was totally worth the frozen hands!
