Dave Strickland- artist at work





Meet Dave Strickland, talented artist and all around nice guy. I had wanted to see Dave's studio and how he worked, after meeting him years ago through my friend Nancy. He's known for his restoration, decorative painting, trompe l'oeil, faux finishes, murals and historic paint analysis.

Stella at Play





This is Stella. A sweet & silly girl that is a talented artist like her mother, Sarah Mann, also a dear freind. Since Stella is into making art, I decided that was a great way to take photos of her. As you can see, she had a blast!

And this is what Stella's mama had to say " Steph, those are great! You were so good with her and made her relaxed, open and playful for the shoot which is clearly reflected in the results.
xo-s "

This is a great time to make memories of kids of all ages! Book me now through August 31st and receive 15% off of print orders.

To see Sarah Mann's beautiful jewelry http://www.mannstudio.com/welcome.html. Plus she's at the MAM Lakefront Festival of the Arts this weekend. June 17-19th.

Art on Wheels




I received an email from Rachel Coolbroth, community director and Karen Sparapani, executive director, from Elmbrook Humane Society asking if I'd like have my dog & cat photos on their van. WHAT!? Of course I would! What a HUGE honor to be asked! The van looks amazing in person. So keep your eyes peeled, you just might see this puppy (hee hee) rolling around in the area. Thank you EBHS for supporting local!

Up-cycled art with WIP

Nancy's framed art


Sarah's books


Nan's art piece


K.Lee's greeting cards


Stef's magnets

About a month ago I showed you what my art group WIP painted. It was then divided into 5 pieces. We then went home with them and up-cycled the art. I love that we all went in totally different directions.

Happy Birthday Molly!





Molly is my parent's sweet, high energy, fun- loving, and sometimes a little naughty mini golden-doodle. She goes bananas when I walk through the door. And I'm just as happy to see her. Happy Birthday Molly!

Elliott & Kayla




It takes a lot of play to wear these Blue Heelers (A.K.A Australian Cattle dogs) out! I photographed the sweet & energetic Elliott (red) & Kayla (black) for an exciting project for Elmbrook Humane Society. http://www.ebhs.org/ I'll reveal that fun in a few weeks.
