Justin had an idea. He wanted to rock some photos in a super cool swank lobby of the Hyatt Hotel downtown. He gave them a call, got permission, and it was on like Donkey Kong. We got some sweet pics there then ran around outside for a bit. Check out his photos.
Sometimes you have things planned and they go wrong, other times you have things planned and they go even better than planned. I was planning on shooting in the fifth ward with Samantha, which we did, but we also got to shoot in a pretty cool club, which was not planned, but was super cool.
Check out her photos:
I’ve known Alex for quite some time. We have talked photography back and forth for about two years. From lenses to lighting, we have talked about lots of stuff. He contacted me for his senior photos and we rocked and rolled. He plays tons of beach volleyball at Bradford beach in Milwaukee, so we decided to do some photos there. Check out his session.
Hola! Things are still crazy at Valo, which is good, but is an interesting time as well. TONs of senior shoots have happened and are coming up as well. So much fun and always a good time.
Kelsey met me downtown and we ran around shooting photos all over the place. The light was great in Milwaukee and we worked it for all it was worth. Check out the photos.
Oh man. I really hate Chicago traffic. I have learned that google maps times do not always translate into real world time. I pulled in about 45 minuets late to the shoot and felt so horrible! We got to shooting right away and I totally forgot to pay the meter. Gah! There goes money down the drain.
We rocked some photos down by the lake and as we got back to the cars the light started to go down. It was actually fortunate that I came late because we got some really cool photos in the evening by Lake Drive. Enough rambling, here are the photos.
P.s. Things are CRAZY at Valo right now. Lots of weddings and photo shoots. Balance is key and tough to figure out. Thank you all so much for being such great customers/blog readers/people!
Ashley was all smiles and very excited about rocking her senior photos. She had seen lots of her friends photos and was ready for her own. We met down by the lake and shot some photos around there. The light was fantastic and the breeze was cool. From there we went around town shooting some urban grunge. We got some super sweet photos and I feel sorry for her mom having to order 
Ciera was scheduled to get her photos taken about a week ago, but then it rained. That is the downside of living in the Midwest where it rains, where there are mosquitos, and where it is muuuuuugy! We rescheduled and got a fantastic day. We rocked photos at Dr’s Park, which is really sweet. Check it out if you haven’t. It is tucked away and has a nice little beach on lake Michigan. Check out some of the photos we took.
This is her Twilight photo. She yelled at me for not seeing the movies or reading the books… Sorry?
We hit a lull in the wedding season this month and we are getting caught up on editing and rocking senior sessions. We are booking into August now for seniors and shooting almost every day. Cool to see how the photos are making their rounds, people are seeing them, then calling saying that they need to have them. Love that! Here’s another senior hitting the blog. You can’t stop this senior train! So many fun and good photos. Good luck to mom who needs to order photos 
DAAAAAAAAAAANG!!!! I hate having fun on photo shoots. Wait. That’s a lie. I do, however, hate all the “Fests” that take up some great spots in Milwaukee. We were going to be shooting over by Discovery world, but we ended up moving around quite a bit. In the end, it was super worth it and Lilly rocked the photos. Nuf said. Check out the photos!
Part numba 2 comeing at you. If you haven’t seen Part 1, check it out here first.
Sometimes there are just so many photos that you want to show you need to do it in two posts as to not overwhelm the audience. This was one of those weddings.
The Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee is such a gorgeous place. So many beautiful things and lots of ornate details that transform a wedding into a fairy tale. Everyone was looking their best and ready to shake it on the dance floor. Jake and I partied with everyone and were able to capture some of the energy on the camera.
Bon appetit!
The two sexiest dudes on the dance floor. (Their words, not mine)
Yess!!! Ali and Brandon are getting married in August and I get to shoot it!
We snuck outside for some photos. Awe yeah!
There were a lot of folks getting Iced. Granted it was @blatzliqor’s wedding…
Joe might, or might not have Iced me…
One last photo from a fantastic wedding.
