Leah & Jake & Baby: Maternity Studio Shoot


I learned one of the things I love about studio shooting is getting to be in charge of "set design", & "art direction".
As an artist, it's fun to get back to those design roots.

& To me, maternity photography is incomplete without a thorough philosophy behind it, so I've been working on putting mine into words. That will come soon. Not today, but look- blog posts!
Maternity Photography philosophy to come soon enough...
And storytelling.
Photographers have to be good storytellers.
I don't know if I am, but I aim to be a really good storyteller.
So, I study good writers- their writings as well as their thoughts on writing.
I think studying good writing makes me a better photographer.
Who knew?

I'm looking forward to the arrival of their baby in a few weeks.
I love my job!

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.
