Candice Walker Wedding






































I think the simplest of things or actions can create the most beautiful photos on your wedding day. The small things make the biggest difference in capturing these emotions or periods in time throughout your day. As a photographer I am very passionate about capturing this emotion and action in real time as it is happening allowing you just to BE, is where the real beauty and memories live.

State Fair!




































































Visiting the WI, State Fair for the very 1st time was a fun experience that I or my belly won't soon forget (so much yummy carney food!). The smells, the patterns, the animals, the food & the people are all part of the excitement at the fair. Although I wasn't sure how I felt about seeing all the animals caged up for show and tell time, it was bitter sweet for me I think because the animals are all so beautiful looking their best, yet you can still see that caged mentality and lack of freedom in their eye. While being entertaining and educational for many children it is a good way to get the community involved in their local FFA.

Visual Imagery is found all over the place!


























Beauty is truly found in the eye of the beholder, however I would argue beauty and compelling imagery can be found in normal objects and places others would not normally look twice at. As a photographer these sort of things compel me to take photographs to show the viewer that normal things can effect and inspire the mind and eye to look twice!

The Ark Band






















































The Ark Band in Chicago let me back stage on Saturday to snap a few photos of their upbeat, roots/reggae/soca/calypso style show. They definitely were very entertaining with the crowd jumping in the middle of the afternoon with a great sound and performance, go check them out!
