Maternity Photography


I'm taking a light shooting schedule this January and February to:
A) Catch up on web site development (and blog updates!)
B) Build my indoor studio & learn interior lighting
C) Fall totally in love with interior lighting strategies (and taking them outdoors!)
D) Create sets and story telling techniques for Maternity and Newborn photography.

*E) All of the above!!!

In tune, I'm making a word web/ mind map for maternity photography set design. What, in all seriousness, are words that you want to describe you (in an ideal way) when you are pregnant? In other words, what adjectives would you want your maternity portrait to breathe?

I like a photograph that speaks, or is able to tell a good story. Sometimes the photograph simply speaks an emotion, and a good maternity portrait in my opinion, should do just that. So, pipe up, will ya? =) I'd love some input!

(Just an FYI, I am already 25% booked for March, so contact me if you want to get on the March schedule. I can take 1, maybe 2 more new-new-newborns in March.)

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.
