Logo design refresh that I recently did for a fellow fish decoy carver, Ruesinks Carvings. Always fun to help others take their branding up a notch for their businesses and creative outlets.
Was a beautiful day for drive up to Arkdale (Castle Rock Lake) to take photos for a new AirBnB listing. If it could only just stay these temps with no bugs or humidity. Even if it did, winter would probably still be my favorite season.
Been a great week of commercial video shoots, real estate photography, and working on some logo designs for small businesses. Even managed to sneak in a little decoy carving time. This foldable cart has been worth it's weight in gold. Especially on gear heavy video shoots.
Some work shirts I recently made for Mr Plumber LLC. I've gotten to help my friend Mario with a number of cool projects over the years for his business. From building his website, designing his logos, designing his van wrap, and creating some fun holiday illustrations. If you're located in the Jefferson County area and are in need of a great plumber, Mario is your guy. You can even book him through his website, whoismrplumber.com
I've got a half dozen shows on the books for this year. Currently in the six week home stretch of my prepping for the National Fish Decoy Association show in Perham, MN. It's a favorite for me as it's always great to see my fellow fish decoy carvers from around the country.

I had a great conversation with host and fellow maker Brent Hashimoto on his podcast, Made to Cast. We talk about my passion for fish decoy carving, darkhouse spearing, whiskey and more. Go give the episode a listen!

Thanks to my friend Mario for embracing a bit of holiday humor with this illustration I did for his business.

What an amazing evening last night at the Magic On Janesville Avenue event! Thanks to everyone who braved the weather and came out to see Santa and support the many great non-profits groups. All the photos have been posted to the gallery and you will have been emailed the link. Over half the proceeds from the photos will go to supporting next years holiday lights and making it even better for the community to enjoy. Happy Holidays!
Fellow deer hunters, you asked, I listened. Here is my first hunting themed shirt that I designed and screen printed. It's now available in my Etsy shop. For you local peeps, I'll have it for sale at my booth at the Fort Holiday Market this Saturday. You'll find me located at Luther Elementary.
Not my usual portrait work but as a hunter myself I understand how important it is to preserve the memories of a successful harvest. So when Mitch asked if I'd capture a few shots of his awesome drop tine buck, I didn't hesitate to grab my camera. Nothing like Wisconsin whitetail hunting, deer camps, spending time in the woods, putting food in the freezer, and maybe, if you're lucky like Mitch, getting a giant buck too.
Wrapped up my 2022 wedding photography season with Anna and Christian's beautiful (maybe a little chilly) day at Koshkonong Mounds!
Sneak peeks from Brock and Caitlin's engagement session that we shot on their family farms in Dodge County.
Another ideal Wisconsin fall day for this evenings engagement session with Daniel and Rachel.
Sneak peeks from my session with Bauer family. It's been an excellent fall portrait season with some of the best tree colors we've had in years.
We had some fall light last night that made the landscape almost feel like paintings for Skyler and Abby's engagement session. Here’s a sneak peek from their session outside of Lodi, WI. Looking forward to capturing their wedding next October!

Another perfect fall day for photos with the wonderful Norris family. We got in a nice workout hiking to the top of Heiliger Huegel Ski hill but it was worth it with the best views one could ask for.
We're really starting to get some great fall colors here in southern Wisconsin. Made for the perfect backdrop for Stephanie and Colten's maternity session this evening.
Congratulations to Mitch and Sarah! Here are some sneak peeks from their perfect day. Married yesterday outside of Fort Atkinson, WI.
