Simmons Island on Ice

In one of my wondrous explorations of the lakefront of Simmons Island I came across some curious abstract ice transformations. There were so many kinds! Glaze ice on the pier and on grass blades, frozen sand ice shelves, baby glacier formations. It was non-stop ice formation discoveries. Ivory came along and trotted along the lakefront like she didn't mind the cold. She loved it.

Winter in Kenosha

A winter in Kenosha, Wisconsin is pretty unique in that since we are adjacent to Lake Michigan we experience a major dynamic confluence of weather systems. Sometimes this causes less snow or more snow. Regardless, I love the weather phenomenon this brings. February of this year was filled with many interesting photographic opportunities.

Pet Photography and Tips

A few tips on working with animals during a photo session

1. Always have a lint roller or wide masking tape present. (For your own clothes and of course

    your props.          

2. Have a shiny, stringy, and noisy toy at the ready. (Ex:A small bell with a metal chain)

This will grab their attention and should get them to focus on your lens when working on  portraits.

3. Pet the animal and make it comfortable. Many of them love attention.

4. If they are allowed to,have a treat ready.

These aren't all the tips, but they are the most useful.

The lovely cat, Libby.
