Milwaukee Senior Photos – Bai


About two weeks ago Simon and I had the chance to work with a charming girl named Bai (pronounced “bay”). Her name is short for Bailey, but it is cool none-the-less. The young film enthusiast, future film maker said she wants to create movies that make you want to kill yourself… Not literally, but depressing type movies… She told us this when we were talking before the shoot at the Alterra Foundry. I knew after that short introduction conversation that we were going to have to be a little more gritty than some senior shoots. We headed out into the urban setting of the 5th ward of Milwaukee, WI and started shooting…

This is my take on the day. A little grit, a little urban, and a few smiles for mom…

Bai – Senior Photos – Rockstar Edit – Sneak Peek – Experiment


Bai was a ton of fun to work with. She was looking for something different, something a little rock star… Wanting something a little bit different, I thought I would play around with some heavy edits. Playing with light mixed with some post processing. This is way more than I usually do with a photograph, and it was more for fun than anything… The rest will probably be more photographic, and less post, but I thought I would share my experiment here.

Valo Photography Street Team


Valo Photography is looking for a few juniors to help us spread the word about our senior photos by being a part or our Street Team in their school. We are looking for a team of two seniors from each high school who are involved in activities and have a great individual style. Valo photography is edgy, modern, and cool and we want juniors who reflect us and to be our face in their school. Your photos will be used to advertise our studio on our website and in print.

What’s in it for you?

  1. You get 75% off of the top photo session with Valo photography. That is $375 that you save.
  2. You will get sweet cards to pass out at school or wherever you and your friends hang out.The cards will have a code that will be individualized to you so that we know when you refer people because…
  3. Everyone you send our way will get you entered another time into a drawing for a Nintendo Wii, Gift Cards, and Prints that will be drawn monthly.
  4. You will also get a 50% discount on the prints that you order and once the senior season is over (November) we will give you any large prints we make of you, some of which are valued over $100.

All right, all right… by now you are probably wondering how you can get in on this sweet deal. Next week we will have a sheet that you can download from our site, fill out, and mail/email back to us. We will contact the senior that we select and set up a time in March/April to shoot your photos.

So keep checking our blogs next week for your chance to be a part of the Valo Street Team.

If you are not a senior, not in high school, but know someone who is a Junior, we would appreciate it if you sent them on over to check out the site.
