Mini-Session Shoot this Thursday!!!

So, I'm toying with a last minute mini-session shoot this Thursday. That means I book at least 3 back-t0-back shoots that last 20-25 minutes rather than 60-90 minutes. This is an economical portrait shoot--- for that 1 portrait that you need. We'll likely get good 10 shots, but are gaming for that 1 that you need to send off to Grandma or post with a birthday picture. Or a blog photo update. Or something to turn into wallets. Or a nice, large cut-out for your lawn. (Kidding.)

Bradford Beach.
This Thursday.
AFter 10:30am.
Contact me if you're interested.
$35/ child, or
$25 if you are a "facebook fan".

Proofs ready in 10-14 days due to a busy week this week and next. Likely able to get you one proof via internet rather quickly.

*Other mini-sessions to come for family Christmas cards.

Little Girl, Big Bridge



I had fun with this one.
(Just pretend the blogger margins aren't knocking off the right side of the composition.)

Oh, and...




My dad took these this weekend while visiting us. He almost didn't take his camera out on the beach, but I coaxed him to. I like dueling cameras. Turns out? I got caught. And you know what? Pictures with me and my daughter? I couldn't love them more. My daughter & me as shot by my Dad: perfect. I think I will treasure these for a long time. A long, long time.

Sorry I've been away...


Melissa & David.
And when I get these margins fixed, I'm posting my favorites!
Melissa and David were so fun that we shot for um, a lot of hours (sorry, honey!), and I took 798 shots. Not normal. But it was fun.
I've been using my facebook page more than anything lately, but hope to get back here once I get some time to fix these here margins :)

I'm almost entirely booked for August, so please let me know if you want to squeez something in. I am hoping to pull off a Christmas Card shoot (did you shutter at the mentioning? I know!), and if I can, a mini-session at Bradford Beach.

Apple-picking mini session in September and Pumpkin picking mini-sessions in October. And maybe one more Christmas Card mini-session. Otherwise, book up. I love what I do, and consider it a privilege to call it a job!

BTW, I'll likely run a facebook special for September bookings for all fans on facebook. Just a heads up; if you're a fan, you'll get a discount. Just keeping you in the loopity loop.

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.
