This kid rocks...no really

She drums and spends time Irish dancing. This was the first time I met Elizabeth for her high school senior photos and felt like we were well matched. I geeked out when her mom, told me she'd like to have her photos taken in the Black Cat Alley,which is an alley filled with art on the East Side of Milwaukee. Thank you Elizabeth and Kerry for hanging out in the cooler temps that day and having coffee after.

More about the art here. It's a must see in person. I did not capture ALL of the murals in and around the alley.

Fun x three

 

It's tricky for me to put into words how much I enjoyed spending time with these kiddos. I love when I can capture sweet quiet moments with kids and of course silly fun ones as well. I smiled and laughed during this shoot as much as when I was editing these cuties.

N&E

Boy does time fly! I photographed these two, 3 years ago! As you can see Evie loved photo-bombing her sister! Norah came around and smiled for us. These two = fun!

It takes countless volunteers and hours to put on one of the best (in my humble opinion) charity event for feeding the hungry.

You may have remembered my post back from May - Throwin' Down - showing the making of bowls at Murry Hill Pottery Works.

Seven recipients in the community will reciev funds from this event.

Mark your calendars for October 9th 11-2pm Kern center at MSOE - free parking in the lot and street that day.

I'll be there photographing the event and eating soup donated from local restaurants.
 Buy a bowl or two they make great gifts!

Over Labor Day Weekend I visited with my dear friend, Kay and her sweet pup, Vivian. She made for a great lil coffee companion while we hung out on the patio surrounded by trees. Also, it's one of her quirks I found endearing that she lies under furniture like the cart  in the kitchen.
