Photographer in Madison

Professional shutterbug Darlene Grasham seeks honest, candid shots that capture cherished moments of seniors, couples, and families. During shoots inside the studio or great outdoors, professional lenses look for both posed and photojournalistic shots. Children can frolic through verdant fields brimming with natural light, or business executives can flash their pearly credentials before a neutral studio backdrop. Shots aim for natural scenes, avoiding the staged, stiff portrait poses commonly pasted on action figures of politicians. Following the shoot, Darlene uploads proofs to a private online viewing gallery, where subjects can choose their favorite pose to wring through a digital editing tool. Retouched prints then glide onto a shiny CD or traditional print.

Capture memories in their natural habitat with a one-hour, on-location photography session in which the studio comes to you. With experience shooting family portraits, baby photos, kids, and more, professional photographer Danielle Smith braves indoor AC blasts or squint-inducing solar rays to freeze a multitude of carefully composed moments in time at a location of your choosing. Danielle’s friendly expertise translates into stunning group shots and solo poses for future mantle-piece ornamentation or library-card identification extravagance. The one-hour session ($75) includes a DVD of 25 retouched photos ($75) as well as password-protected, secure online proof viewing, affording photo subjects the ability to grant looking privileges to only the most complimentary of family members.

The brainchild of Patrick Wallace, Focused Xposure Photography specializes in weddings, capturing every moment of the big day from the ceremony to the traditional removal of the garter snake that crashed the reception. Well before the wedding, Wallace can capture couples in engagement portraits, and he also catches newborns and families in his lenses.

Andrew Kenworthy specializes in wedding, engagement, maternity, and family photography. But his skills don’t stop there; his website also shows off a bevy of fashion and glamour shots and documentations of live events. Some of his fine art photographs have even been exhibited at the Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego. Though Kenworthy's subjects might vary widely—from a child amid pumpkins to a fire-swallowing beauty bathed in blue neon light—his skilled eye for photography frames them well. Smiles and natural interactions between people shine through against backgrounds such as stages or pastoral scenes, enhancing and immortalizing subject personalities in prints, digital galleries, or latte art.

Forever October Photography's skilled picture mavens snap digital freeze-frames of subjects seeking memory preservation. Collect candid shots of siblings, children, couples, or other social combos with the aid of props and crafty posing, positioned against an indoor or outdoor backdrop of choice. Expectant mothers can forge a record of their swelling belly or final encounter with solid food for the subsequent decade. Holiday-themed photos constitute a colorful keepsake, and struggling actors may acquire a series of headshots to propel a career in the respected discipline of phrenology. After the shoot, models will receive a CD loaded with up to 30 digital images that they can save and send to loved ones.

Armed with an army of innovative and certified shutterbugs, Olan Mills Portrait Studio provides families with high-quality portraits, continuing a mission that was established more than 75 years ago by founder Olan Mills Sr. Skilled in the art of capturing infants, children, families, and bunny-ears-giving ghost orbs on film, Olan Mills’s experienced smile snappers will take a series of poses amid a variety of backgrounds and lighting options. The studio is equipped with a selection of props—including numbers for birthdays, toys, and boxes—and patrons may bring their own photo-enlivening items from home. The resulting photos find their way to prints in natural color, black and white, or sepia tones; they can also be immortalized in the studio's signature Old Masters style, a canvas brushed with highlights to recreate look of an oil painting. Like the gentlemanly mariners of ages past with their full schedule of sea-battles, the photographers welcome appointments, but do not require them.
