Feet


With this photo I am actually much more interested in the feet that go in the shoes than the shot of the shoes themselves. I took this with  my point and shoot. No big deal; I just wanted to highlight the community of the people there. I was there to work and hang out; not to take pictures. So... some shoes on the feet of some beautiful human beings fighting to get out of homelessness. And fighting they are; and beautiful beyond my capacity as a wordsmith. (I wish I could show you their faces.) These feet are feet I quite admire, even if their shoes have seen multiple owners and many, many tumultuous, inhumane miles. Much respect to these shoes. And the people in them.

Ticklebugs Photography

Welcome! Ticklebugs Photography is an offshoot of RobynBeckleyViningStudios. It's named after a fun family tradition started by my dad: Ticklebugs. You know when you're lying on the floor and think you've laughed the hardest you can laugh and then you see a big hand of wiggling fingers coming at you and someone saying, "Here comes the TICKELBUGS!"? Well, I personally don't like being tickled anymore, but my kids love it and the tradition has continued. This is a way to say thanks to my Dad and Mom for believing in me and helping me get my photography business started, and to my husband for continuing the tradition of (believing in me and) laughs and giggles and love with our own kids. I should note that signing up for a photoshoot with me does not mean you'll be tickled. Well, maybe...But I like life when you've laughed as hard as you think you can laugh, and then you laugh some more.  And I like to try to capture that kind of fun.

Stay tuned for group shoot locations and times (mini-sessions that save you money!). Located in the Milwaukee area.
