birthday giveaway!

3.13.15

what a beautiful day we are finally having…and what a great time to announce my annual birthday giveaway.

(first park visit this year and someone was NOT happy about leaving!)

this time each year i love to give a session away. temps are slowly rising, the sun is still out after dinner and my photography calendar is quickly filling up. i am again reminded of how lucky i am! i know many fret about age but i honestly feel as though my life just gets better each year. i am older, but i am also wiser, more confident and just more comfortable in my life overall. so, with all that said, thanks for being here! it is hard for me to put into words, but i so appreciate the support and encouragement i have received along the way from each of you!

now to the details (it couldn’t be easier!)

* share the facebook post on your wall

*comment below here (or click here) that you shared

~~i will announce the winner here on saturday (3/14) in the afternoon – good luck!~~

hey tanya gaedke — you are the lucky winner! email me for the details!!

please note: one hour session with up to 6 family members and is good in april or may of 2015 in the milwaukee area.

new here? you can check out my work here.

lastly, since facebook pages are getting more and more difficult to see, i will be sharing my work here and here also. would love for you to follow along!

achieving goals.

3.10.15

i have a little note that i see daily where i keep a running list of things i want to accomplish in my photography business. some big. some small. some simple. some not so simple. near the end of 2014 i made a list for the upcoming year. one of my many 2015 goals was to get published in a magazine. i was giving myself a year to make this happen. so, it was a complete surprise when mid january i received an email asking permission to feature my images in the upcoming edition of mozi magazine! (a photography magazine packed with tons of info + inspiration)

i still can’t believe it. it is so crazy to see my images of my family in print, BUT the absolute coolest part of it for me is that my silly little lists paid off! something i thought of as far, far, far off in the future, turned out to be attainable and a lot sooner than expected.

so go write your goals down – no matter how crazy or silly they may seem to reach, you have that constant reminder to work towards it and make things happen!

want to check it out?

this issue is jam packed with talent and great articles for both the professional and the hobbiest and mozi magazine has been kind enough to give a digital copy of this ‘love’ issue to one lucky winner. simply follow mozi magazine on facebook here and leave a comment below telling me what you LOVE to photograph! good luck.

~~winner announced here on monday, march 16, 2005.~~

hey claudia! congrats!! email me for how to receive a digital copy of the mozi magazine. thanks everyone for your comments!

somewhere between all the workshops, pdfs, hashtags and photo blogs, i lost my free spirited love for photography. it seemed i started to shoot worrying about all the rules and fell into the classic routine of what was safe and comfortable. that spark that had once been there as i picked up my camera had now just become another shot. i was struggling to get that wow factor that i so dearly wanted. so i continued with safe and to me, rather blah.

then, last week i attended a workshop. a workshop i never dreamed i would attend. after reading review after review and each person stating what a game changer this was for them, i knew i had to make this happen. long story short, best investment in me ever. this was exactly what i needed. after a full day with yan palmer and some amazing fellow photographers, i got the push i needed. i learned a ton. i discovered so much about myself AND the best part, i left feeling completely inspired and motivated to actually do what i need to do to get where i want to be. it was just awesome!

with all that said, i need something from you. if you are in the milwaukee area and would love to book a family session, contact me. or pass on my info to someone who is interested in a family session. i am looking for 5-7 interested families to photograph and will be heavily discounting my session fee. you will get all the images, i just ask that you relax and let me do my thing!

it is a tad scary putting something like this out there as i may get crickets, but i gotta start somewhere! i will hunt down my ideal clients if it comes to that – but if you are a family, and all LOVVVVVe each other most days, enjoy dressing your children for these events, have a home that you love + love spending time in and if you can follow directions, please contact me! even if you are not all of the above, contact me for the details!

ready? go!
