What started out as a hobby when I was a child has grown into a lifelong love affair with photography. I am very passionate about taking pictures and capturing memories. The best part of being a photographer is preserving special moments in people’s lives. Sometimes it is simply the love that you feel for your family, or that your little ones are growing up so fast and you want to capture that moment in time or your children's sports. I consider it a privilege to be the one to capture the special day when two peoples’ lives become entwined forever. I'm also available for other events whether personal or corporate. Family photographer, wedding photographer, sports photographer, senior pictures and event photographer serving Madison, Waunakee, Windsor, Marshall, Sun Prairie, Verona, Middleton, Cottage Grove WI and surrounding communities

Forward Madison FC Home Opener

It was a snowy evening as Forward Madison FC kicked off their first season at Madison’s Breese Stevens Field. Perfect Wisconsin weather to begin history. It’s come along way from when I was working at Dairyland Insurance and while exiting the building with the VP on my way to capture a Wisconsin Women’s soccer game, I suggested something that I had been thinking about that we should sponsor the new soccer team coming to Madison and have the Dairyland logo on their jersey. The VP thought it was a great idea and and I can still hear him repeating “Dave that is a really great idea”. I had no idea what I started in motion that afternoon, I just knew that for American Family Insurance my previous employer, they had some good exposure having their logo on Atlanta United’s jersey so I thought it would be good for Dairyland to do something similar. We definitely had the resources and could use some brand recognition. So it was great to see my idea out there on the pitch in a game.

The season ended after the UW fell 1-0 in the NCAA tournament’s third round

The Wisconsin Badgers women’s soccer team plowed through the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament defeating Memphis and Hofstra. Although the Badgers fell to the No. 1 seed and defending champs, Stanford 1-0, holding Stanford (20-0-2, 10-0-1 Pac 12) to one goal was a testament of the Badger’s skill considering Stanford put 13 goals on the board in its last four games.
