This is a concept I've been interested in photographing for awhile and I finally got the chance to shoot with a neighbor of mine. First time model, Shianna, did an excellent job and a big thanks goes out to mom for all your help. We got some great photos, here's a sample:

Lydia

2011-07-11T13:31:00.002-05:00

I can't believe she is 3 already, where did the time go!? I've known Lydia her entire life and she's almost the same age as my little girl so it was great to see her and mom again and catch up. What a little cutie...

One of my favorite families came over yesterday for a shoot. Good times...great pics!

Marco!

2011-02-05T13:56:00.002-06:00

Had a fun shoot with Marco and his dad this morning. After a little shyness Marco opened up and we had fun playing chase and throwing snowballs. That big smile and those big brown eyes are going to melt some hearts in a few years...

P90X Fitness Photography

2010-12-10T09:17:00.002-06:00

P90X is a big fitness video right now and I've always admired the photography that accompanies the cd's and marketing so I thought I'd try to hook up a P90X style photoshoot.

3k pictures, 7 models, 3 different light setups, and a photo marathon at my new studio space. Let the results speak for themselves!

Jerod and I kayaked the Vermillion River in MN a few weeks back. I brought my camera with and am just now getting to the pictures. The Verm is a pretty fun play river where we can practice a lot of surfing. Here is Jerod getting it done:

Hartig girls

2010-10-22T16:03:00.003-05:00

I had most of the Hartig girls over for a photo session earlier today. What an adorable and fun group of young women! Here are a few favorites:

Ha Ha, I'm liking the monkey jump in the middle!

Pictures in Print

2010-09-28T14:35:00.005-05:00

I've had nearly 5,000 of my images licensed as stock in the past couple of years but have discovered it is really difficult to figure out where they are being used.

Monica, one of the model's I work with, sent me an email a few days ago telling me she found her pictures(that I took) in print!

I wanted to share some images from this morning's senior session with Eric who attends Middleton High School. He's hoping to be accepted to UW-Madison and study Engineering or Pre-Med and he's passionate about snowboarding. We photographed using a combination of studio and natural light:

Ahh the Memorial Union Terrace, so many good memories from college and a great place for a photo shoot! Molly and family met me there today for her 1 year session. Hard to believe it's been one entire year already, from this to this:

2010-08-28T21:32:00.002-05:00

New model Nicole rocked it in front of the camera for a few hours today. She did a great job and as a result I was able to capture some great photographs for both of our portfolios:

Family Photos

2010-08-21T15:28:00.004-05:00

I photographed this family on their property near Evansville. Their place had a ton of sweet spots to shoot, old barns and doorways and rusted tin. Here are a few of my favs from the session:

Wedding: Nick and Jennifer

2010-08-07T23:30:00.003-05:00

Timepiece Studio photographed a sweet little wedding in Mequon today. The couple had a really relaxed attitude so it felt good to just capture the moments as they happened. We also stopped at Lake Michigan for some quick photos, nice! Congrats guys, thanks for having us be part of your day!

Twins!

2010-08-06T14:50:00.003-05:00

A big "thank you" goes out to mom and dad for 1. Making the drive to my place and 2. Being super wranglers for these two active boys!
They were a moving target almost the entire time but I was still able to grab some great photos, take a look:

Senior: Steve

2010-07-31T16:42:00.003-05:00

I met Steve at his farm a few days ago for his senior pictures, he did an awesome job! He's a multi sport athlete and all-around nice guy..his family was teasing him about becoming a model but I don't think that's his first career choice over farming. Anyway, on to some sweet pictures:

Might be my favorite one...

Toddler: Lydia

2010-07-31T16:10:00.004-05:00

Check out this cute little girl! Her mom and I are good friends so it was great to see both of them and to catch up a bit. I did my best to capture some great portraits of "miss independent" playing in the park and at the beach. Enjoy!

I like how she runs on her tippy-toes...

Wedding dress year 2

2010-07-25T17:45:00.002-05:00

Ann from Timepiece Studio captured this great portrait of Sierra in Erin's wedding gown. We plan on taking one every year and hopefully the series will be really special to her someday.

Here is year 2 from a couple of days ago (year 1 below it)

Wedding: Kaci and Jerod

2010-07-25T08:48:00.003-05:00

2010-07-11T12:35:00.004-05:00

Madison Mustangs, our semi-pro football team, thrashed the Milwaukee Storm 55-0 last night. However, the big news of the evening was that the team's owner and coach, Bob Gingras, was going to strap on a helmet and play a few series at QB(He's 55)! Here is some of the action from the night:

Engagement: Nick and Jennifer

2010-07-08T22:15:00.005-05:00

I had the pleasure of photographing Nick, Jennifer, and baby M yesterday. They made the trip from Milwaukee despite being banged up from a recent auto accident. The wedding is only a month away and if these photos are any indicator then Timepiece Studio will capture some great photos of their wedding day too!

Start it out with this great B&W

What a cute and happy baby

Good looking family!

Engagement: Andy and Nicole

2010-07-06T17:34:00.002-05:00

Ann and I split this engagement session. She took the studio shots and I captured the outside ones. Should be lot of variety for this couple...Andy and Nicole are engaged to be married this fall and Timepiece Studio can't wait for the wedding because we'll have a chance for some great color with the leaves changing and it doesn't hurt that this couple in good looking too! Let's have a quick sneak peak at the outside photos I took.

Love the color on this one

Another favorite...

Baby B!

2010-07-06T14:53:00.003-05:00

Here is a slideshow video of David and Amy's wedding day and reception. Amy is my cousin so it was really nice to see her with such a great guy! The weather was good and more importantly, in my humble opinion, Timepiece Studio was able to capture so many great photos of this blessed event.

Here are a couple favorites incase the video doesn't play for you:

2010-06-21T06:25:00.003-05:00

I enjoyed the great weather with the Peine family yesterday. I photographed the youngest, Mitzi, for her senior pictures back in March so I was supper happy when they asked me to come back and photograph the entire family. Captured some great photos:

Mom and Dad still got it after all these years ;)

Wedding: Kyle and Heidi

2010-05-04T10:49:00.002-05:00

I just returned from California where I photographed a wedding for some good friends of mine. Kyle and Heidi hold a special place in my heart and I'm very honored to have been involved in their amazing wedding. The day was perfect, the bride and groom looked phenomenal, and I was able to capture so many wonderful moments!

Heidi...wow!

Kyle cleans up nicely too

Ruby in the Rough

2010-04-18T20:23:00.003-05:00

Madison Engagement: Landon + Kate

2010-04-11T20:02:00.005-05:00

Landon and I go way back to our early college years so it's awesome to see him so happy and in love with Kate. I had the distinct honor of photographing their engagement photos and we grabbed some business head-shots for their new careers too. Busy beautiful day behind the camera:

Results for the Winter Photo Contest and Giveaway!

2010-03-08T07:43:00.004-06:00

Congratulations to Nathan and Fallon for winning Timepiece Studio's First ever Photo contest!
This beautiful wedding day photo was captured in an old church in Menomonie, WI. I reached my vantage point by climbing the stairs to the Choir loft, walking through the bell tower room and onto the service platform for the pipe organ. From there I just leaned over the railing, composed my shot and radio triggered the remote flash on the ground.

I feel the photo works because it is romantic, has great lines, and is unique. I'm sure their new float wrap will look stunning on the wall!

Congratulation also go out to Kent and Lauren for their second place winning wedding day photo. This great photo was narrowly edged out by only two votes. It was captured at the reception site on the edge of a golf course. I purposely crouched to place the sun directly behind the embraced couple giving the photo a faded look. Special post-processing gives the photo its great color and feel. The stand out will be a great way to display your new photo!

Thank you to everyone who participated! If you liked the photography, feel free to contact me: adam@timepiecestudio.com and we can talk about your photographic needs.

Thanks again and I look forward to working with you. -Adam Turner, Timepiece Studio

6 months old and a broken camera

2009-12-20T19:57:00.005-06:00

I traveled to DeForest this morning for a 6 month session, everything was going great until my camera went crazy and kept taking pictures even when I wasn't pressing the shutter button. Even when I powered down the camera it kept taking pictures! Only way to make it stop was to remove the battery. So, session cut short.

I was worried because we hadn't been taking pictures very long and I had mistakenly thought we took maybe 50 photos total but when I downloaded the files I was pleased to find we had taken nearly 150, nice! So without further adieu, here are some of my favorites from this morning's broken camera session:

Beautiful photo of mom and her adorable baby!

Sweet B&W

Little Bird

2009-12-13T22:56:00.002-06:00

This is "Little Bird"...and she is cute! She made the trip with her mom from Kenosha by way of Boscobel (the long route) and it was great to catch up with everyone. We met at a mutual friends house and it was fun to see how much the kids have grown. Lydia was not in the best of moods but we still got her to smile a bunch and captured some great shots!

Sweet boots...

Sierra is Adorable

2009-10-21T16:30:00.007-05:00

I think Sierra is adorable...but I might be a little biased considering I'm her father :) Anyway, Sierra has a cold so she didn't sleep well today and woke up after only an hour nap. So we took the opportunity to run to the studio to try out my new lights. She was a perfect little model...

Unsure of the camera

Yawn...not enough sleep today

Performing incredible feats of strength!

Classic Sierra smile

What a beautiful day for Kent and Lauren's wedding! As a photographer, it is great when the wedding party is down for trying anything and always finds a way to have fun no matter what they're doing. We shot so many great photos that it was almost a chore just to figure out which ones to post... Have fun on the west coast!

Corporate Headshot

2009-08-10T16:47:00.004-05:00

So this is a first for me, but I think the Corporate Headshot I took of our friend and Lawyer, Nadiya, turned out really well. First impressions are big and I think this will make a good one!

Remember these Maternity pictures? Well, Here is Xander in the flesh and he's a big cute boy! Thanks to Nick and Jess for having me over this morning, I had fun taking pictures and getting to meet your little man.

Didn't exactly fit in the bowl...

Katie and Chris were married yesterday in Menomonie, what a great day for a wedding! Beautiful weather, handsome couple and a great party to work with. Here's a sampling from the day...

Soon to be Mrs. Fahey

Stunning!

Flowers by Allure

Fact: Katie gets distracted by sparkly things... so her ring should keep her attention for a long time!

Mr. and Mrs. Koskie!

What a great day for a wedding! Josiah and Dina were married at the Lutheran Church in S.V. yesterday and we had a great time at their celebration and snagged some awesome photos of them. Good luck guys and have fun in Texas!

Arbini Family Photos

Check out the super sweet photos we took! I'm really liking the first one...we had tons of fun taking photos of the Arbini family, I just wish it wasn't so hot and humid! But no worries because the camera was still liking the beautiful people I was pointing it at. Check out the gallery below:

Seriously, what a doll!

Jess and Nick are having a baby!

2009-06-15T22:11:00.007-05:00

Nick and Jess came over a few weeks back to take some photos at the farm and we had tons of fun making some great pictures. I'm super excited for them and can't wait to meet the little man. This will be their first and I already know his name...bet you can't guess what it is (see pictures below for a little help on the name thing)!

This one looks like a postcard

Did you guess his name?

Josh and Courtney get married!

2009-06-14T13:19:00.007-05:00

My cousin and his beautiful bride were married last weekend at a quaint little country church just outside of where we grew up. It was like a mini family and class reunion all in one. The weather wasn't cooperating but that's o.k. because we still got some really great shots of the two of them and check out how phenomenal Courtney looked!

B-EAU-TIF-UL!

Bling-Bling!

Hey guys, what are you hiding behind there?

The Cult of Done Manifesto

2009-06-14T10:33:00.002-05:00

Love this post! This is for all of you out there that have a problem getting things done. If you're anything like me then you can take a few pointers from the following Manifesto:

The Cult of Done Manifesto

There are three states of being. Not knowing, action and completion.
Accept that everything is a draft. It helps to get it done.
There is no editing stage.
Pretending you know what you're doing is almost the same as knowing what you are doing, so just accept that you know what you're doing even if you don't and do it.
Banish procrastination. If you wait more than a week to get an idea done, abandon it.
The point of being done is not to finish but to get other things done.
Once you're done you can throw it away.
Laugh at perfection. It's boring and keeps you from being done.
People without dirty hands are wrong. Doing something makes you right.
Failure counts as done. So do mistakes.
Destruction is a variant of done.
If you have an idea and publish it on the internet, that counts as a ghost of done.
Done is the engine of more.

Slager Family Photos

Check out the previews to this family photo shoot I took out at the farm a couple days ago. Thanks to the Slager family for putting up with crazy amounts of Dogwood Cotton floating in the air. When the wind picked up it looked like it was snowing!

Arrr!!

Cute girl...

Love this one

The fire's still burning!
