Benno’s 25th at the Milwaukee Wisconsin State Fair

Benno has been a big part of the Wisconsin State Fair for 25 years now. Concessions, Micro Brews, Wine Bars, and more… along the way he has made a lot of great people. In celebration of his 25th year at the State Fair, a party was thrown in his honor. Simon and I set up a Crazy Booth, and rocked out with everyone for the celebration. It was a ton of fun, and here are my favorite shots:

Had a Bell’s Two Hearted after the shoot, one of my favorite brews… I love The Micro! Check them out on twitter: @themicro

LILLY – Cool Senior Photos in Milwaukee

Mr Simon McConico and I met up with Lilly and her mom in the heart of some crazy Milwaukee summer festival traffic/lots of people. We wanted to shoot a little down by Lake Michigan, and then head out and shoot some urban scenes. Anyone from Milwaukee knows how crazy the Lakefront gets in summer. We finally got to a meeting spot and didn’t waste any time… the light was perfect, golden, and waiting for us. Lilly was a lot of fun to work with, and her mom was very cool as well. I think Simon hit the nail on the head with this quote: “If I didn’t have to eat, I would do this for free”. So very true…

Here are my favorites from the shoot… so many good shots, it was hard to pick my favs:
