Rich Portrait Collage
And finally... the photoshopped version of the collage is now displayed below.
Portrait with Rich through a thousand unspoken words
Rich... what can we say about Rich? The question is what can't we say about Rich? Or was it what shouldn't we say about Rich? A recently retired bachelor (yes ladies, he's single) Rich needed a new profile photo for his company's web site.
After we did the basic "corporate headshot" we got to play around with some experimental lighting techniques. Using both wide lighting and some fixed lightl, I got some interested photos. I was interested in the "Time" magazine look, as seen on Gregory Heisler (www.gregoryheisler.com). Since every model is different, every photo had it's own life. Below is one of my favorites from today.
Flower and wedding ring
Editing a few images from the wedding two weeks ago, and found I was deeply intrigued by the rings inside flowers photo. Though rather a standard photo from today's modern weddings, I find this image to be inspirational. It suggests life and love and the contiued glow of togetherness.
After my emotional moment passed, I thought about how it would be fun to play around with Photoshop with the sharpening of images. Image 1 is the original photo, unedited while Image 2 is the super sharpened version. Enjoy.
The Artist’s Way
An artist must have downtime, time to do nothing. Defending our right to such time takes courage, conviction, and resiliency. Such time, space, and quiet will strike our family and friends as withdrawal from them. It is.
For an artist, withdrawal is necessary. Without it, the artist in us feels vexed, angry, out of sort. If such deprivation continues, our artist becomes sullen, depressed, hostile. We eventually became like cornered animals, snarling at our family and friends to leave us alone and stop making unreasonable demands.
We are the ones making unreasonable demands. We expect our artist to be able to function without giving it what it needs to do so. An artist requires the upkeep of solitude. An artist requires the healing of time alone.
-Julia Cameron in The Artist’s Way

Wedding Missy and John December 27 2008
Lead Photographer Personal
Many of our clients ask us about the photographers at the studio. Who are we? What are we like? Get to know us by spending some time on the website and reviewing our galleries.
New: At each wedding, events and portrait session we try to capture photographs of our “imagery athletes” (also known as photographers) in action. Whether it be running through the rain to get a photo of the brides coming out of the limousine, spending a 10 hour day in the blazing 100 degree sun, meowing at the puppies to get that cute head turn, or jiggling sparkly things to get baby to smile… we are ready for it and will show you ourselves in the gallery below. Updated quarterly, the images will reflect us and our passion in photography!
IMAGE 1: The following images were taken at the Dodd Wedding in December 2008. Photographers on staff were Agnes (Lead Photographer and Portrait Artist) and Ben (Photojournalist).
IMAGE 2: Every wonder what photographers do when they are not working? They find creative ways to express themselves to their loyal fans and future clients. As always, comments are welcome!
IMAGE 3 (Agnes): Below are images of personal expression, I am not afraid to show who I am. I laugh, I cry, I smile, I sigh.
Engagement Photo Adrienne and Lamar
Today we had Adrienne and Lamar at the Studio for their engagement photos. This morning was also a horrible winter blizzard. Temperatures plummeted. We got about 4 inches of snow. The plows were out in force all day from morning until night. And yet, these two lovely souls still made it in through the storm for their scheduled appointment. They receive the trooper of the day award! I could think of no better way to spend the evening snow storm then by taking pictures of two people in love!
The couple took advantage of our portrait discount and received 50% off of their engagement portrait, by booking their wedding photography with Plum Tree Studio. Contact us today if you are interested in the 2008 discount!!!
Congratulations Adrienne and Lamar!
See you in April 2009 for your wedding day!
Family Portrait James Kathryn Kelly Jim
This morning we had at our studio a former client of mine, which I have kept in contact with over the years. We photographed using the Canon 5D and the 20mm-70mm L-series pro lens. Light were set at only 1/4 power and background was standard white backdrop paper. Kelly's two little angels (twins) had just as much energy as their momma, coupled with dads enthusiasm and made for a fun adventure! Born in the winter of 2007, these little ones were a mere one year old yet had brought tons of energy and joy to the photo shoot! The Photo collage from the morning studio session is below, and more images coming within a few weeks. Both James and Kathryn crawled around and explored the studio, always inquisitive and ready for new sites. In between cries, snacks, and snuggles we managed to get a whole bunch of fabulous photos. If I did not know better, I would have guessed these two little ones had taken modeling classes.
If you are interested in scheduling your own baby or infant portraits, please email us directly using the "contact" link above. We glady will photograph your baby in communion clothes, anywhere in Chicago, and full of smiles! Happy Holidays!!

Photos with Santa Paws at Who's Your Puppy in Libertyville
This weekend Plum Tree Studio Pet Photography was out with tails a-waggin' in Libertyville, Illinois photographying the annual event called "Photo Op with Santa Paws". Santa Paws was at the "Who's Your Puppy" Salon and Spa on Saturday (December 6th) and Sunday (December 7th). The salon offers pet stylists, relaxation at the spa, accesories, toys, collars, and above all else a knowledgable and friendly staff. I was amazed and pleased to see that every guest was personally greeted and given a tour of the facility. Talk about personalized service! Take a look at their web site and stop over -- and make sure you tell them Agnes from Plum Tree Studio sent you (they'll treat you extra special!).
And if you were among the lucky humans and canines who stopped in for a visit, your photos are available online for purchase and your free 5x7 photograph will be available for pick up on December 20th 2008.

Pet Potraits Bucky
This evening we had a Pet Portrait with Calvin, Janet and "Bucky" from Grayslake. Our gorgeous red headed friend (below) was 70 pounds of pure muscle and a ton of love and energy. He bounded around the studio, exploring everything he could. Sniff sniff, what's that? And that? And ohh ohh that too? What is it?!?!? His young nose was not yet used to the "other dog" smells in this world, and as we all know Plum Tree Studio is frequently visited by four legged buddies ready to smile for their annual portraits.
As soon as his care givers sat down for their portraits, he promptly joined them on the floor (obviously ready for his evening tummy rub). To get his attention I did my usual "critter sounds" as I like to call them -- a few cat meows, some like arfs, then a bit of the quack quack, and finally closing with a general squeel. Buckey responded really well to the "go to the car?" sentence (since we all love car rides, photographer included!). After a few photos, Bucky realized that no real critters were actually in my throat and thus was bored of me. Overall, it was a great session for Bucky and his adopted parents! Woof Woof Buckey!
Portrait Kristen Polizzi
Last weekend I photographed with Kristen Poilzzi and true to her own description, she was a bubbly, sincere and kind person, very open to new idea's and new poses. Kristen was very comfortable with her 5'10" physique and "worked it" in the photos, as we say in the biz. You can tell from the images below that she could replicate emotions as needed and gave a great deal of variety in poses and motions. Fab! Thanks girl!
She loves me then she loves me not
She loves me, she loves me not... sometimes I just don't know who to trust. And sometimes I can't remember how I got here. But those eyes. Those beautiful blue eyes. I was pulled in. Into the fire. Into the flame. I walked in like a fool and I heard the voices. I didn't turn back. Who would have turned back when the blue flames roared higher into the night. They called to me and pleased for my entry. I gave in. I stepped into the flame. And yet... she loves me... she loves me not...

Maternity Portraits for Beth and Al
This evening I had Beth and Alberto over at the studio for a maternity session. Beth is now 6 months pregnant with twin girls! She was simply glowing with maternal happiness. Together, they were a very comfortable and stress free couple, which made my job way more fun. They comfortable with their poses and comfortable with me. When I said close your eyes and relax, their bodies relaxed and made for an awesome photo. In between somber and relaxed moment I even got them to laugh out loud (LOL), which made for an even more honest and natural photo. Looking forward to having them back in the studio for “after” photos with their two new angels.
Wedding Kristin and Jimmie November 23 2008
Images from today's bridal session with Kristin and Jimmie. Such a cute couple, one could tell they have been friends for quite some time. Amazing couple, full of emotion and fun. They warmed up today with their excitement!

Baby Matthew
Happy 1 year birthday Matthew! This morning I went to the home of Erin, Chuck, & baby Matthew. Already mr matthew was engrossed in books and "reading". At only one year of age, he was very perceptive to everything around him and his eyes displayed wonder and curiosity. With a little help from Elmo and his singing mommy, we got this handsome young man to strike his cute whimsical smile.

This evening I had the honor of photographying the wedding of Heidi and Adam. Their ceremony and reception were in the same location - The Shores of Turtle Creek. This is the second wedding this month were I have been to the shores and both wedding we marvelous. During the wedding Adam sang a new song specially written for his new bride. Needless to say, there were many many tears of joy. Below are just a few of the best images from the day. The rest will be posted online in a few weeks, so please check back after Thanksgiving.
Congratulations to Heidi and Adam!!!


Roxie
Meet Roxie! She is a 1.5 year old boxer lab mix with a wonderfully inquisitive nature. From the moment she stepped into the studio she was off with nose to sniff every corner and every scent. A little skiddish at first, normal for a pound puppy, she quickly warmed up to a friendly face. We played for a bit on the floor until she got comfortable with me and my camera. The lights didn't bother her at all, as long as there were treats nearby. Nom nom nom she said as she nibbled on a scooby snack. Her human mommy picked her from the dog shelter and you could feel the love Roxie gave back! For a puppy, she was amazingly well behaved. Nothing was broken, knocked over, yellowed or torn. She listened when she got a command, even if a little delayed. Her heart was warm and loving and she was a wonderful little girl to have in the studio. Look forward to having the family back in soon for a family portrait.

The Long Voyage
Anyone can appreciate the sentiment in this photo, which is appropriately titled "Long Voyage". The image represents childhood moving into womanhood; crossing the path from one world and into another. The experience of youth and innocence is short lived and blurred, and the wedding day is a small depiction of the speed of life and memories. Blink once and you may miss both, blink twice and you've seen nothing.
At Plum Tree Studio Wedding Photography, you are our inspiration. It is photos and opportunities such as these which continue to light out lives as much as our equipment. Working with each client inspires our photographers to try different angles, different poses, different lighting, and a different perspective.
Each wedding as unique as thumbprint. The DNA of every wedding is the same – the white dress, the tuxes, the flowers, the dj’s, the flower girl and ring bearer, and the wedding cake. But each couple brings to the ceremony their own proclamation of love and devotion. Each reception party bring to it a unique sense of life and energy. Every “first dance” is the beginning of a new life. This is what inspires us as wedding photographers.
You inspire us!

Wedding Laura and Peter November 2008
Below are some of my favorite images from the wedding of Laura and Peter. Such a warm and fun couple; the main thing I noticed about them is that they were both always smiling and laughing. Made the day even more amazing for everyone!

Congratulations to Laura and Peter Jedrzejewski!

Engagement Portrait Erin and Brian
This morning we met with newly engaged couple, Erin and Brian, at Butler Park in Libertyville, Illinois. As this is the fall season, we were blessed with every color imaginable. There were trees turning yellow, orange, red, and green still basking in the afternoon sun. We did get some perfect weather today, especially for a Midwest fall!
