In between shooting weddings and some family portraits, I’ve been living the life of leisure. It’s fun. But to keep it from getting boring, I like to spice it up with short trips to places like Milwaukee.
Milwaukee. When Milwaukee is a short trip away, that’s when you know you live in the Midwest, which, if I haven’t said it before, is not something I ever anticipated happening.
I must confess that I was pleasantly surprised with the city, knowing only that it was home to several breweries. I found it to be a clean & charming city with a strong urban feel. As my friend Jodi – who I was visiting – and I wandered the streets, I was envisioning family & wedding portraits done in the various grungy alleys and lush, green parks with iron bridges looming overhead. In short, it was much cooler than I had anticipated.
Jodi is a friend I met through another friend back in LA several years ago. Originally from the Milwaukee area, she recently returned from LA to be closer to the ones (and one in particular 
) that she loves. Although I brought my camera with me, I pulled it out only once, when I made Jodi model for me.
Work it girl.
