ME

I can probably be found hanging out with my family around MKE, snapping pictures, meeting with interesting people, reading a book, listening to music - especially on vinyl, catching a new film, or working on some project around the house or neighborhood.

Currently I am working on two new projects: photography + re-imagined church 

I am really excited about both.

The lakefront was real cold this morning.
I’m feeling a little hot about my @roostmke account being hidden by @instagram - so I’m posting fire images over here. Also - I love these images from @sierra.hammond’s wedding! #marriedinmilwaukee #roostmke #roostweddings

Ok - random - but I’m temporarily posting my @roostmke content here, cause Instagram apparently flagged that account for “not meeting @instagram’s community guidelines.” Who knew - weddings, engagements, and babies were so controversial. . ——————————— . I call dibs on all the MKE courthouse weddings. I can do that, right? Seriously though - if you know someone whose looking to elope, it’s a beautiful venue and I’d love to tell their story! This is Patrick + Elizabeth, a rad couple who I just adore - their wedding was so intimate AND they asked me to be a witness, so I got to sign their marriage license (a first for me as a photographer).

Wausau
I drove to Wausau on Thursday to photograph a ribbon cutting for Greenfire - my longest running corportate client. Normally the send me urban-spelunking for their upcoming renovation projects, but also events, ground-breakings, and ribbon cuttings. (I don’t post this work anywhere, because it doesn’t really fit with my @roostmke wedding work or the sunsets and landscapes I post here). When a sunset blows up its always important to look both ways - both at the beautiful sunset and at how the golden light illuminated the world around it. It was glorious outside -AND the golden light spilled into a coat room - transforming it into a dazzling studio space - and sitting right there, ready to jump into the golden light and strike some serious poses was my new friend Brielle (She was in charge of the coats). Yay secret spontaneous 3 minute mini-sessions.
