The world has stopped, I mean bars are closed. But let's make the best out of it?
As a photographer, I typically spend hours every week capturing images of families in times of joy. Those moments are still there but they are in curfew right now.
Like everyone, Northwoods residents are doing their part to stay at home.
Starting today, I am offering to take five minute ‘Front Steps Portraits” of Northwoods residents. I am taking three hours each day to scurry around town and snap super fast images of Northwoods families on their front steps.
You will know when I am coming. You can step outside, where I’ll be standing near your driveway or street, at least 12 feet away. I’ll take a couple of quick shots and leave. I physically interact with no one, and touch nothing, during these sessions. I *do* smile and laugh with you, however, I keep our "social distance" and don’t we all need a little bit of that right now?
After your quick session, I will email you the digital file of your portrait. In exchange, I am asking you to make a good faith donation to Northwoods Alliance of Temporary Housing or a non-profit organization of your choice to support our elderly and in-need.

I will be posting these images on Facebook and Instagram using the hashtag #thefrontstepsproject. Please share these posts. Let’s spread the word!
The purpose of this project is to bring us together and take care of our neighbors. I aim to highlight the faces of our community during a time when we might not see them in passing at the grocery store, coffee shop, restaurants, bars or at the gym. Participating in this project is also an opportunity to step up to help those who need it most right now in Northwoods.
To be clear: I will be taking images outside ONLY and from at least 12 feet away. Our session will be brief, likely just 5 minutes. This is not a typical get-dressed-up-and-pose-for-the-photographer session. Want to stand outside in your pajamas and slippers? Sounds good to me. Kids in mismatched clothes but you’re thrilled they got dressed? Fantastic. Wearing your bike gear because you’re headed off to ride a trail in the nice weather? Love it! Be you.
Please message me to schedule your session.
Coverage: Rhinelander, Eagle River, Tomahawk, Crandon, Three Lakes, Minocqua, Hazelhurst and more (any town in 60 minutes drive distance).
