When asked this question I generally say "people on location!" because this is the most precise answer I can give to a question that would otherwise take a long time to answer. I do mostly location work but I also do have a studio where the majority of my work is portraiture. Most of my work is in industrial setting for brochures of people and equipment, public relations and news releases, and special occasions (reunions, award ceremonies, weddings, etc). I also do architectural photography, aerial photography, and portraits of small to large groups ( portraiture, family reunions, class photos, etc.)
I have enjoyed being a professional photographer for over twenty years. I graduated from Milwaukee Area Technical College with an A. A.. Degree in Photography in 1980 and have been employed in various aspects of photography ever since. Please refer to my home page for a short bio of my work experience.

I am booked most Saturdays from mid April through mid October with wedding photography. I am most readily available days particularly toward the end of the work week (Thursdays and Friday). Generally, evenings are busier then daytime hours.
