Yep, my downstairs neighbors are now married. And rightly so, because they’re great together. The wedding was a blast, as you can see – the perfect mix of elegance and party (which I’ve been told is 1 part elegance, 2 parts party). We even stopped at the Red Dragon on the way to the reception [...]

Man…  sometimes there’s so much going on it’s tough to find time to blog.  I pulled out a few images I loved from some sessions that I haven’t blogged yet.  Enjoy, and I’ll try to keep it coming.  By the way, I checked the stats the other day and the blog has topped 150 visitors [...]

We all gathered on Saturday for the celebration of Nate Kopetka and Jill Podgorski, who are now Nate and Jill Kopetka. We did, indeed, celebrate. The game Farkle made a glorious return to my life, but I did not lose this time, which made me quite happy. Here are some images I shot on Saturday. [...]

I’m really into these images.  I love the confidence she shows in them and the grit of the city and her shoes.  I love the quietude. To some people senior portraits are something that’s required by the school. Something necessary, maybe even a minor annoyance. Something that will be put in a drawer at the [...]

This blog post took me an hour and a half to put together, so you better enjoy it. Two shoots in 2 days, 2 different feels. How about the polka-dot dress? And the Aviators? Why are these kids so much cooler than I was? Don’t answer that.

We found some really cool locations to shoot at tonight. There was a ton of wind but we endured and came away with some awesome images. Also, we have some really exciting news for ya’ll but we can’t break it yet because things are pending. I can’t wait until we can blab though… Enjoy some [...]

I started editing to blog and I couldn’t stop. I love these 2. Seriously. And Hayward, WI, you put on a good show, too. Thank you Back Roads Coffee or Back Country Coffee or whatever it was for keeping my energy high. Enjoy the images.

Just in case you haven’t noticed, we really love our jobs here at Matt Blum Photography. This session is just another example of how we all love expressing ourselves through other people. Exploring new locations to shoot, goofing around, and taking chances are all part of the fun. Thanks for being so cool, Natalie.

I’m loving these senior sessions.  I’ve had the chance to work with all kinds of sweet people and make art with them.  I think one of the things that people underestimate before they take part in the shoot is the size of their role in everything.  My good friend Marc over at Studio 306 often [...]

I arrived in Hayward Wisconsin yesterday to find the town much like I anticipated only with one unexpected perk: they have espresso.  I’ve found that small town people don’t often take to the idea of spending more than $1.50 on a cup of coffee.  When I meet aformentioned people I feel it’s my responsibility to [...]
