Milwaukee Portrait Photographer: Charlie, Jackie and Maeve!

We met this lovely family through the Milwaukee event community, as Jackie is the event coordinator for Pizza Man! If you haven’t experienced this Milwaukee staple, make it a priority. It is on Downer Avenue on Milwaukee’s East Side and has some of the best Italian food in town. Jackie and Charlie knew she needed a Milwaukee portrait photographer when she and her husband Charlie blinked and realized Maeve was no longer the little baby they brought home from the hospital.

Being ensconced in the Milwaukee event scene for years we have formed wonderful friendships with a whole community of gracious people! These are basically professional hosts of parties, so there is a consistent warm and welcoming vibe that runs through everyone. These relationships are rooted in professionalism, but there is also a feeling akin to family as we have all bonded over shared experiences over the years. When any of us get the chance to use our talents personally benefit each other, it feels extra special and is an opportunity we seize.

We were thrilled to have them over to the studio for a quick shoot. Maeve could not have been a better model. She’s at that perfect age where she’s engaged, expressive and sitting like a champ. In a few months, she will be at the photographically challenging stage where she is completely mobile but immune to bribery. That’s when we like to get out to a park where there is a little more room to roam.

It was cool to see how Maeve reacted differently Jackie and Charlie. It was clear that they each have their own bond with her and it was very sweet to document.

We absolutely adore this yellow cardigan Maeve has! It was the perfect pop of color to complement the muted tones of this shoot.
