Dusting off for 2012 | Janesville Wisconsin Portrait & Wedding Photographer

Stephanie Natale — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 18:03:18 +0000

It’s been awhile since I’ve blogged.

2 months to be exact.

Wow.

So I’m dusting things off & getting things started again.

During the buys season it gets quite difficult to keep up with workflow & posting sneak peeks on Facebook, so often the BLOG takes a back seat.

My goal for 2012 is for that to change, to be a better blogger.

Over the next few weeks I’ll be catching up on some BLOG posts both portrait & wedding, stay tuned.

Also wanted to let you know over the next couple weeks/months I’m excited to roll out Natale Photography’s brand new website & BLOG that I’m hard at work with right now.

For the most up to date images in my portfolio please swing by Facebook or shoot me an email, I’d be happy to email you a current slideshow!

In the meantime watch for some new BLOG posts coming out this week, one today in fact.

We are into full swing Wedding booking season for both 2012-2013. We are a little over half booked for 2012 & anticipating that we’ll be fully booked by the start of Wedding Season in May. If you are still looking for a photographer call the studio to set up your personal Bridal Consultation.

Speaking of Weddings, here is a small iPhone pic of my booth this past weekend @ the EngagedMilwaukee Bridal Show

Change is a comin’ for Natale Photography

I released a very small sneak peek of the new marketing rolling out in the next few months.

New branding. New website. New blog.

Fresh design & Fresh ideas.

What do you think? Like it? Love it? Gotta have it? {ha, that’s from Coldstone Creamery}

I’m so excited, it’s been a long over due.

So with that I decided to be a little sneaky, just put it up on the BLOG & held a little impromptu contest to see who pays attention to the details…

It was fun, to read the responses I received both on FB & via e-mail. {thank-you for those that participated}

We had over 25 entries & three people that included all the same amount of detail in their answers {& some details that actually weren’t even new} & the person that was randomly selected as a winner was :

Kiara Krohn = CONGRATS

Contact the studio for information on how to use your $75 studio credit!

Would love to hear your thoughts on the new logo?

Scott Robert Lim | Lighting Workshop | Chicago Illinois Photography Workshop

Stephanie Natale — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 17:31:41 +0000

I had the pleasure this summer to attend a fabulous workshop in Chicago with the amazing photographer

Scott Robert Lim

This was the view from our room @ the Allerton Hotel in Chicago

I traveled with a few very talented photographer friends of mine from the Madison area.

Michelle from Michelle Martin Photography

&
Mandie from Red Gecko Studio

This was Mandie & I on our “romantic” carriage ride the night before the workshop {image from my iPhone}

{Ok enough of the name dropping}

All in all we had a wonderful trip & learned a lot from Scott. He is just full of knowledge, advice & gives so much of himself back to our community.

It was my first workshop with SRL & I look forward to more in the future!

Not to mention Chicago as a city is just lovely!

Necessary to credit these fabulous people who helped make the day happen

Dresses & Hair Accessories | Rebekah Jacobs Couture

Makeup | Barb Zanzig of BZ Artistry

Hair | Tony, owner of Hybrid Salon

These are a sample of the images taken that day, enjoy!

Thanks again Scott, it was a pleasure to spend the day with you!

A few pullbacks from how we were shooting

Love the Trolley @ Navy Pier

We ended our 12+ hour day with watching the fireworks from Navy Pier

Jack & Sawyer | Brothers | Janesville Wisconsin Portrait Photographer

Stephanie Natale — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 22:21:07 +0000

Jack & Sawyer

These little boys are simply adorable & were so much fun to photograph.

It was helpful that we were outside & they were able to get some energy out @ the same time.

This session worked out perfectly for them. We shot @ a nearby local ‘woodsy’ park & then ended up at their elementary school. Which worked out great for a nice backdrop for some of their portraits as well as a few of them playing baseball @ the end of the session.

Which for this family is a must. They love baseball!

Enjoy the Sneak Peek, Fields family!

{s. natale}

Doing what boys do best, especially these boys!

Lynzee & Jason | Engaged | Janesville Wisconsin Wedding Photographer

Stephanie Natale — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 12:00:07 +0000

Lynzee & Jason {Engaged}
Wedding Date | September 17th, 2011

I met Lynzee last year through one of my 2010 Bride & Grooms.

We hit it off right away & I loved how upbeat & bubbly her personality was, I was so excited to hear from her when they got engaged last year!

Lynzee & Jason are perfect for each other, always laughing, always smiling & they are the type of couple you just can’t help but be happy when you are around them!

We had a blast during their E-session & I loved getting to know them better!

I can’t wait to be apart of your big day this September, coming up so SOON!

Enjoy the sneak peeks!

{S. Natale}

Who said a few random little props can’t be fun?

When we were planning out their session we knew that one of our stops would HAVE to be Rivers Edge Bowl in Janesville.

That is where they first met & they share a lot of memories from this place!

Thank-you SO much to the owners of Rivers Edge Bowl for allowing us to come in & kind of take over for a few hours.

They were very very accommodating!

Sterling turns TWO | Janesville Wisconsin Family Portrait Photographer

Stephanie Natale — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 03:14:14 +0000

Mr. Sterling turns TWO

Happy Birthday, little guy!

This is family number two for the month of June that added a new baby to their family within days of our session.

We had Sterling’s two year session on a Friday evening & Scarlett was born that following Monday!

So glad we were able to get one last session in before Miss Scarlett joined the family.

It has been such a pleasure to watch Sterling grow into such a handsome young toddler & now a Big Brother!

I love working with families every year & have really enjoyed working with Sarah & Matt over the last three years!

Enjoy the Sneak Peeks & coming soon will be Scarlett’s Newborn BLOG post.

{S. Natale}

Sterling is this many!

This was the “I’m not pleased with this idea”

He is two & has is own agenda

Talking to his little sister
