Hey Everyone! Welcome if you’re new here and thank you to everyone who’s come back for another post!

     I’ve done a lot of photos in the past four years and I’ve been extremely lucky over the last few years! I put my heart behind all my photos and love to share them all as often as possible. 

     I’ve been lucky enough to photograph some very cool bands perform and some very beautiful places in the United States. I’ve captured the portraits of people who were taking their next step in life whether it was leaving high school or making their family bigger.  

      I want to share these photos with the world as often as possible, I’ve been very lucky. I strive to work hard to continue to show off new work as it comes. Thank you all for the support!

Hello and welcome everyone!

Thank you for coming back if you’ve been here before and welcome if you’re new here! I had the wonderful opportunity to catch Puddle of Mudd perform last night before they set out on another run for Mudd Fest There were four bands in total and every single one of them grabbed the crowds attention and killed their sets at The Q & Z Expo Center.

Pudge started off the show for the night. They are a grungy rock 4 piece band out of Appleton, WI. I highly recommend checking these guys out if you have the chance! Below are a few ways you can check these guys out and also a few of the photos I captured of them performing.

Coprophage took the stage next for the night. They are out of Central Wisconsin! The 3 guys that makeup this group are some amazing people. They have a lot of fun on stage and off! They have been around for a few years and just recently decided to start putting on shows more and having fun! Below are a few ways you can check these guys out and also a few of the photos I captured of them performing.

Direct support of the night was The Alloy Plot. They are a 4 piece alternative rock band out of Appleton, WI. This was the second time I have gotten a chance to photograph these guys and be able to rock out with them. They definitely don’t disappoint and put on a fantastic show! Below are a few ways you can check these guys out and also a few of the photos I captured of them performing.

Finally, the one you’ve all been waiting for while being here, Puddle of Mudd took the stage as the headliners of the night. This band has been at the top and the bottom of the music world but they have always and will always be one of my favorites to see live. The first time I saw them was quite a few years ago in Green Bay, WI at the Riverside Ballroom and I never missed a chance to see them live after that. They’re a 4 piece grungy alternative rock band that absolutely captivates the stage every time they take it. Please go see them live if you haven’t caught them before. Below are a few of the ways you can check these guys out or see where they’re playing next! There are also some photos that I was able to capture of them during there set at The Q & Z Expo Center.

Hello and welcome to all of my followers!

I hope everyone out there is having a wonderful day and if you’re not I hope it gets better for you! Today I’m writing about an embarrassing moment I’ve had while in the world of photography. But today’s edition is all about those embarrassing moments while shooting concerts. I’m pretty sure I’ve done some embarrassing things that even I don’t remember. But here are the few I do fully remember.

  One of my favorite that has happened this far into photographing concerts has been one of my first ever concerts in the photo pit. I was trying to stay under crowd viewing level, so I wasn’t blocking anyone’s view. When I went to move forward I tripped over my own feet and fell onto my butt. One of the band members caught this happen and got a good kick out of it also. This has since happened quite a bit in photo pits over the last 4 years. This is also one of my most memorable embarrassing moments. It has since been brought up in a lot of conversations and brought joy to a lot of people.

At one point a couple years ago I was photographing a show that didn’t have a specific photo pit area. At these shows you just kind of make the crowed your own. In doing this, you’re making your way around people who are just trying to enjoy the show without blocking their view. This is where my embarrassing moment comes in. I got super close to the front speakers and was trying to inch my way just inside this are to crouch down and snap a few photos closer up that the back of the crowed. When I finally got down in front, the singer of the band had just decided to move his mic stand to the side. It happened to fall right on top of me. While this isn’t the most embarrassing thing, it still makes the list being the butt of the jokes the rest of the night for being ‘in the way’.

While being in the photo pit, there are many moments where the band might jump down into the photo pit and you must move out of their way quickly. One of those moments I was standing off to the side of the stage and the singer was jumping down to go into the crowd, I had to move backwards quickly and try to not trip. In concentrating on moving, I tripped over my own feet once again and fell back into the wall. I sat and laughed on the side for a few moments before I started taking photos again.

I wouldn’t trade any of these moments for the world. I’ve met amazing people over the last few years doing this, and I have some amazing memories from doing this. Thank you all for reading this.

Have a wonderful day!
