  • Studio Noveau features photography that is beautiful and real. You won't find stiff, traditional portraits here! Instead, you'll find a mix of casual and relaxed subjects, fun locations, and a variety of lighting (including natural, on-camera, and off-camera). Studio Noveau is a backdrop-free studio, and prefers to shoot on-location.

    Good photography is meant to last generations, and your portraits from Studio Noveau will be timeless and lovely. Photos are processed cleanly, naturally, and with the belief that fads will come and go, but your photos will last for generations.

New Blog!

Happy Easter Everybody!

 

I’m just too excited to wait until tomorrow to post about my new blog.  Genevieve from Lilac Creations has just designed this fancy-schmancy new blog, and it’s  finally finished!  It’s so much  more flexible and nicer looking than my last blog.  What do you think?  I love comments, so please feel free to leave me a note!

 

And what’s a blog post without a pretty picture?  Here’s one of my favorites from an engagement session last summer.

Albums and DVD cases

I can’t even begin to tell you how much I’m looking forward to wedding season starting up again! Three more weeks until my first wedding of the year! I’m getting tired of not having any fun, new pictures to post. BUT I did promise a certain bride that I’d get her pictures of some of the albums. So here we go!

First of all, I’m constantly trying out new album companies. So this year I will plan on keeping these albums PLUS adding a higher quality artistic album. I don’t have a sample of that one yet, but when I get my sample designed and ordered, I’ll make sure to post some pictures!

But in the meantime, these are a few of the albums Studio Noveau offers. This first one is one of my favorites. It features the images printed right onto the page, and it’s a magazine style album with a hard cover. The pages are glossy and heavy weight but flexible. The cover is really cool: it has the image printed right onto the cover, and it can either wrap around the front and back, OR you can put one image on front and another on the back. Here are some photos:

I also used this same style of album to create a custom Guest Book. For this, we use images from an engagement session, and place them throughout the book. Then guests are able to sign it like a traditional guest book. One great thing about this book is you are able to share you engagement pictures with your guests, plus this is one guest book that you will definitely look back through even years after your wedding! Another benefit: guests can write you messages instead of just their names. Here are a few pictures of one guest book:





This is a different company that offers similar style book pages. The biggest difference is the covers. This company offers linen and leather cover options. Here is an example of linen, and I’m showing taupe. But it also comes in about 8 other colors (black, slate gray, poppy red, forest green, navy blue, and a few others.)


Leather examples in black and brown:






The last type of album I currently have studio samples of is completely different style. It features a cover in a variety of finishes: anything from leather to silk to faux aligator skin to metallic. The pages are
thicker and not flexible at all. The image is right on top of the page, and is a bit sturdier than the traditional magazine style page you saw above. This book has one image per page and comes in a lot more sizes. This particular sample is 4×6 and it’s great to give to parents and grandparents. I like to call it the Little Brag Book. But it does come in any standard size: wallet, 4×6, 5×7, 8×8, 10×10, 8×10, 12×12. Here are a few pictures of it:




Lastly, this is the packaging your DVD will arrive in. I love these aluminum cases! And I appreciate that they will protect your images without crushing or cracking the contents.



Don’t forget to check back soon for new pictures!

Happy Spring!

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to give you two important pieces of information.

1) If you are getting married in 2009, please know that I have only two openings left: one in November and one in December. Thank you, thank you, thank you to the 20+ couples who have already chosen Studio Noveau to shoot their 2009 wedding!

2) Prices will be raised on April 1st. (No, it’s not an April Fools joke!) If you have been thinking about booking Studio Noveau for your wedding, make sure to contact me and sign your contract prior to 4/1/09. If you have already returned your contract and deposit, your pricing is secure and will not be affected.

So I promise that this blog will get more exciting soon! April should be filled with engagement sessions and other fun stuff, and weddings will start again on the first Saturday in May when Mandie and I are heading to Green Bay. January to March is generally pretty slow, so I’m looking forward to getting out to shoot again. And I’m going to get a shiny new blog in the next few weeks! Genevieve from Lilac Creative is working hard a custom blog design so check back soon for an update.

Have a great day!

Check me out in Modern Bride Magazine! | Wisconsin Wedding Photographer

When I was interviewed by Modern Bride magazine last year, I wasn’t sure if the article would even be published, much less include any of my information! But it was a pleasant surprise to open up this month’s issue and see my name in an article!

If any of you are Modern Bride magazine readers, please open up the April issue to page 310, the article on bartering for wedding photography. I’m mentioned in the paragraph on the bottom of page 312 and 313. Cool, huh?:)

While bartering isn’t for everyone, it can often be a great way to make a wedding more affordable if you have services and skills or products that are in demand to the person you are bartering with. In case you are curious, I’m definitely open to bartering certain products or services for my photography. Of course, it needs to be a good barter for both of us, but I’m willing to give it a shot!

News, News, News

, I will be out of town from Wednesday, February 24th until Wednesday, March 4th.  I’ll be checking email, but may not get back to you with my usual lightning-fast speed.  So please be patient, and I’ll reply as soon as I can!
Exciting news!  I’ve applied for and been accepted to join Operation:Love ReUnited!  This is such a fantastic group of photographers that have joined together to support our military service members who are either a) deploying soon, b) currently deployed and miss their families, or c) returning home from deployment.  Basically, I will be capturing one of these events with my camera for families in the area.  
Most of you probably don’t know that I spent five years in the US Navy.  :)  And my husband is in the National Guard.  So it’s safe to say that I definitely can empathize with the families of our service members, and would like to be able to give something to those who have sacrificed SO much.
So if you or a family member/spouse are deploying soon, currently deployed, or if you have a service member returning home from deployment soon, please contact me for details!  As a participating member, I will be offering a free session and set of 4×6 prints for those who qualify.  You can learn more at www.oplove.org.
