32nd birthday in Chicago

Jake was out of town at a work commitment for the entire week of my birthday this year. So I made a bunch of plans, including spending my actual birthday in Chicago with my immediate family. Since I got a DSLR, most of my Chicago trips haven't allowed for a lot of random wandering and picture taking. It was great to spend a few hours out in the city with family, camera in hand, on my birthday.

 

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who made my birthday and my entire solo week so great. I am blessed to live near a lot of family and to have so many good friends in Milwaukee.

a foggy weekend in Milwaukee

We had an exceptionally foggy weekend in Milwaukee. It is not unusual to see fog downtown, due to its proximity to Lake Michigan. However, it's rare to see it stick around for the better part of two days. In three years of living here, this is the first time I've ever photographed the fog, and I'm sharing it with you today.

We were blessed with some beautiful weather in Milwaukee on Easter Day this year, and Jake and I were able to get out and enjoy it a little bit.

Are you ready for the next installment of Alphabe Thursday? Let's go!

We're starting a brand new round of Alphabe Thursday today. If you've been thinking about participating this time, it's not too late!

For this installment, sometimes I'll be sharing brand new topics. Other times I'll be revisiting favorite topics. This is one of those weeks where I'm revisiting. The Milwaukee Art Museum is one of the most photographed places in the city, but it's not hard to understand why. I'm sharing a set of museum pictures that I took back in September. Enjoy.

Check out what the other Alphabe participants posted for the letter A this week right here!

photo share: Milwaukee at night

Night photography is still largely unexplored territory for me, but I enjoy venturing into it when I have the chance. Of course I love Milwaukee at night and photograph it as often as possible.

Share your tips and tricks for night photography!
