Madison Musician Brandy Held

I did a fun shoot with Madison's Brandy Held over the weekend.  Brandy is a local musician and owner of Brandy Held Music Studio.  Brandy offers both piano and guitar lessons, and is also a pianist and vocalist for weddings.  Please visit her site here: Brandy Held Music Studio and make sure to catch her at one of her shows!

Rave! Great Results with Google AdWords Express!

After much dilemma, I finally decided to give Google's AdWords Express a try.  This is my first experience with any of Google's AdWords advertising.  I had looked into AdWords a couple times, but was confused by the numerous settings and options, so I never ran an ad. 

I decided to check into AdWords Express, which I didn't know existed until just recently.  It was simple to use, and with a few clicks my ad was up and running. This is a "pay-per-click" format, so I set my max bid at $1.64 and my total limit at $50.00.  I had immediate results.  Using major search phrases in Google, I show up at the top, or on the right side almost every time.  I have had 4 clicks so far, totaling $6.56, and have had one serious inquiry for a portrait session - which is $150.00. If that session is booked, Google AdWords Express and outdone my expectations!

I recommend giving it a try!

Variety Showcase with Sound Mindset at Lazy Oaf Lounge

My friend Travis, owner of Sound Mindset, holds a variety show once a month at the Lazy Oaf Lounge in Madison, Wisconsin.  He asked me to photograph the most recent one with feature artist Skylar Nahn for his LP release party.  If you are in need of guitar lessons, DJ service or recording services be sure to contact Travis at Sound Mindset LLC and to learn more about Skylar, check out his page here: Skylar Nahn Music.

The photos turned out great!

Senior Portraits with Jordan - Madison, WI

Jordan will be attending UW Madison next year, so we thought it would be appropriate to do her senior portraits around the downtown Madison areas. We photographed around State St, the Memorial Union, State Capitol and the Overture Center. I am quite happy with how the portraits turned out and so is Jordan!
