Fabulous Wedding Workshop

Posted on February 23, 2010

So as I am always one to want to learn as much as I can, I attended an all day Wedding Workshop in Chicago, IL.  During this workshop I learned fun new techniques for lighting, posing, and interaction with our couples.  The models used during this workshop were absolutely fabulous and wonderful!  I can’t wait to apply everything we’ve been learning to this seasons weddings.  Here’s a couple images I took from the workshop, I hope you enjoy!

Nina… Our Protector.

Posted on February 2, 2010

With the New Year upon us and moving too fast already, I told myself I would write a little every week.  Not just about weddings, photography and the like, but also a little about who we are, in hopes it helps define who we are and the life we live.

So with that said, today’s blog is about our Protector, Nina.  She is our 6 year old German Shepard.  She became a part of this family when she was just 5 months old.  Since day one she has been the best dog ever.  Don’t get me wrong, she definitely has tested us, seen how far she can push us, and has definitely been called a “bad dog” every so often.  But even though those times come and go she has never let us down.  She watches over my children and warns anyone coming to the house that she is here.  Her bark is a ferocious one, often times making people think twice about even approaching her, but behind that bark is the most sweetest, loyal, and loving dog ever.

So today, my tribute goes out to our Protector, Nina.  We love you!

“Heavy Metal” Photoshoot

Posted on January 30, 2010

As we, Bill and I, are always looking for ways to learn, expand and broaden our photography skills, I attended a photo shoot last Sunday on the 17^th.  Bill, being the awesome guy he is, stayed home so he could take care of the kids, as I went out and played.  I just adore him!!

The theme of this photo shoot was called “Heavy Metal” and let me tell you it certainly was “Heavy Metal”.  A local photography group, STUN, was the host of this shoot.  They rounded up around 50 models, had hair and make-up stylists on hand, and had costume changes throughout the shoot.  They also brought in some vintage cars and the shoot took place at a real working machine shop.  From 12-4, we photographers could shoot to our hearts content using anything and everything the place had to offer.  Creativity was a must and I must admit I was like a little girl in a theme park.  Every time I turned around I saw new opportunities, amazing models and great ideas other photographers were coming up with.

I had so much fun at this amazing event that I wanted to share with our fans some of the images that were created from this day.  I have to admit; this day reminded me of why I love photography and definitely got my creative juices flowing again.

We hope you enjoy these images as much as I enjoyed creating them!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Posted on November 25, 2009

Thanksgiving is such a wonderful time of year.  Families come together, delicious meals are prepared, and lots of love and laughter is everywhere.  It is a time to give thanks for everything and everyone we are thankful for and reflect upon the year that is almost at an end.

Bill and I have a lot to be thankful for this year.  We started B&B in January of this year not knowing just where this little business venture of ours would end up.  It is because of all of our wonderful, wonderful couples, families and clients; we have had a very successful year!  We are thankful for everyone and everything that has helped us along the way and we are blessed with all the new relationships that have been created because of this journey.

To all of the men and women serving our country and protecting us, we wish you all to be safe and come home soon!  Thank you for risking your lives so we back home can live our lives.

 With that said, Bill and I would like to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving from our home to yours!

Derek & Shelli’s E-Session

Posted on August 11, 2009

Last Wednesday we had the pleasure of doing an engagement session with Derek & Shelli!  We went to a local park here in Janesville, Palmer Park, and we had a great time.  They brought along their little boy, Parker, who was so cute we couldn’t help but snap some photos of him too!

We had fun with bubbles, park equipment, and a little one-on-one time while the ever so gracious better half of mine played with the little guy so I could steal the parents away for a bit.  Their wedding is in November and we are very excited.  We hope you enjoy this little sneak peek and we can’t wait to show the rest to the happy couple!
