Sara and Chris Milwaukee Engagement Session


Meaning of “Sara” – Princess. In the Bible, Sara was the wife of Abraham and mother of Isaac. Her name was originally Sarai (quarrelsome), but God commanded that her name be changed to Sara before the birth of her son

Meaning of “Chris” – Diminutive of Christian: Follower of Christ.

Together a Christian Princess… sounds pretty good to me. In the short time I have known Sara and Chris it seems to fit. Their smiles and laughter are more than warm, they are as genuine as it gets… and they didn’t let up for a second during our engagement session with them. I can not wait to photograph their wedding in just a few months.

Here are my favorites from both Simon and I:

I know they are also located at Comet Cafe, Ians Pizza, Stonefly, Project M, Art Bar, and Alterra on Humbolt – just to name a few…

2 Cents MKE – Milwaukee Fashion Story


Two Cents is a new visual resource guide for Milwaukee, by Milwaukee. Simon and I had the pleasure of working with Publisher, Editor In Chief, and art director, Katie Donoghue, of Two Cents for their latest issue. Every issue contains an 8 page photo spread that deals with the overall issue topic. Issue #5, the issue we were working on, was all about Riverwest. So we got together with Ms Katie and brainstormed about what we wanted to do. After a lot of thoughts we decided to do a two person story, which ended up being called “Passing”. We came up with a loose story, and Katie went to work on organizing… and man, she is good. So with the fantastic team that Katie put together, with the great Riverwest locations we had to work with, we made the story come to life in photographs and video.

A quick synopsis of the team:
For – 2 Cents MKE
Photography and Video: Valo Photography – Jake Rohde & Simon McConico
Art Director: Katie Donoghue
Fashion Stylist: Bree Rose | Project M Boutique
Makeup Artist: Kristin Lindemann
Hair Stylist: Maggie Connolly
Models: Svetlana Stoycheva & David Taniguchi

Again, I can’t say how great this team was. Everyone was awesome.

So take a look at the issue… some of my photographs from the issue… and go out and get an issue, because there is nothing like the real thing. Oh and also watch the short fashion movie for “Passing” if you haven’t already…
