Here I actually took their photo on the bleachers inside Verona High. Then the special effects were added to give it some artistic interest.

Here is the VAHS Boys Basketball team poster. Since this is the last year in the Badger Conference we wanted to make note of that.

The VAHS Girls Basketball team decided to do a no-nonsense shot with the help of the local police department. This effect was done with “Sculpture” technique. One mother came up to me at the wedding show and said her daughter looked cold. I’m sure she was, it was shot outside in November at their request!

The hockey program was different this year because there were only 2 seniors . It is tradition to put the seniors on the cover as an honor to recognize their committment and hard work.

I’m currenly working on the VAHS Hockey program.

I’ve also done the VAHS Volleyball poster, based on the “America’s Next Top Model” ad. The initial photograph was taken at the high school in the auditorium. The rest….Photoshop with Blowout!

I’ve been doing many of the VAHS team posters for the last few years. I love doing them, working with the athletes, meshing creative ideas. I depend on them to come up with the theme and we go from there, usually taking individual photos of each person and putting them together separately. A lot of work, but I enjoy the challenge of coming up with new looks for each poster.

Working with Paul was a pleasure. His low-key personality put Megan at ease immediately and he was able to capture the essence of who she is…both serious and fun-loving. We loved his location shots and the fact that he was open to new ideas and spontaneity, even heading outdoors in the middle of a snowstorm when the opportunity presented itself! The most difficult part of the experience was narrowing down the selections because he did such a great job. We would definitely recommend Paul to other seniors and/or their families.

Want to thank you, truly from the bottom of our hearts for ‘getting’ Leanna and who she is on film! She (along with us, of course) is REALLY excited about the pictures, what we all saw and what she had hoped for, happened with you! Really can’t thank you enough for your patience, time, and talents!!

Thanks again! We’ll look forward to hearing from you in two - three weeks!
