Trisha asked me to take some shots as an anniversary gift for her boyfriend, which I held until the surprise was revealed. Trisha looked so beautiful! I hope he enjoyed them!

I was thrilled to shoot a senior portrait session with Lacie, Menomonee Falls High School Class of 2012.  Lacie was a photographer’s dream because not only is she beautiful, but she was willing to try so many different locations and so many different poses, including twirling around in 4-inch high wedges!  In the end, we had so many shots, it was hard to choose which to feature.  Here are my favorites. Thanks, Lacie!

Desirae’s “Rock the Dress” Session08.18.11

I had the pleasure of shooting Desirae and Phillip’s wedding in April of last year, so when Desirae said she was interested in doing a location shoot in her gown, I was thrilled.  These shoots are sometimes known as “Trash the Dress” shoots, and oftentimes involve submersion in bodies of water.  I really did not want to trash this beautiful gown, so instead, we did a “Rock the Dress” session.  No submersion was involved, although we did cross some interesting terrain.  Lovely Grant Park in South Milwaukee was the location, specifically the Seven Bridges Trail down to Lake Michigan.  It’s a beautiful park and well worth a visit.  Desirae was a great model and a great sport, even when the cool Lake Michigan waters splashed up on the beach.  Thanks Desirae for a great shoot, and I hope you enjoy the images!

Portfolio Shoot with Brenna08.30.09

All words and images ©2006-2012 Wendy G. Gunderson
Last week, I had the privilege to shoot with an upcoming young model, Brenna Schwartz. Brenna is a student at Carroll College in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Although she was busy with preparations for school and a number of shoots this week, I was glad that she could fit me into her schedule. She was quite impressive and professional, and I have no doubt that she will find success in whatever she chooses. Here are a few shots from our session. Brenna can be reached through Model Mayhem, Brenna Schwartz, MM#1311553
