Curtis & Shana Schroeder | June 6, 2015

          Congratulations to Curtis and Shana Schroeder on their marriage as of last Saturday, June 6, 2015!

          I was given the wonderful privilege to break the ice with my first wedding of 2015 in Mount Vernon, Wisconsin. It's been a few years since I have drove through the middle of Wisconsin. I forget how beautiful the rolling country is - definitely a treat. Curtis and Shana had their ceremony and reception at and around Shana's family horse farm. It is here that Shana was raised and grew a deep love and appreciation for horses. It also happens to be the place where Curtis proposed. I hope you all will enjoy this tease from their wedding day.

          Thanks again, Curtis and Shana Schroeder, for letting me be such a huge part of your special day. I truly hope the best for you two as you move to Indiana to pursue your careers!

While photographing this side street, I heard a woman yell "This is why I'm not marrying you!"

             The man in the black coat some how mistaken me for a woman (even though I have a beard), asking, "Miss? I mean sir, sorry, can you help me find the Metro PCS store?"

          Although technically homeless, Mike Hartzell (A.K.A. Bones) has become an icon along Rice Street - the place where he grew up and still calls home to this day. Bones spends his days patrolling the area, meeting passers-by, and working odd jobs for local businesses. Bones is appreciated so much that local business owners say they hope to some day erect a statue in his honor.

Vote for Ellen

          I collaborated with friends, Ellen Hopson (Hair Stylist) and Magdalene Nitschke (Model), on shooting some photos of hair styles to be entered in a hair and fashion contest for Bumble and Bumble. Help Ellen win a trip to New York to participate in a hair styling class by clicking on the link below and "liking" her image on Facebook. This would be a great opportunity for her to grow in her field!
