The Refinery Photo Studio

Meet Tim!

Tim just moved to Milwaukee from Chicago and stopped by the studio to get some new headshots.

We kept it classic, but added a little extra flavor by using a colored backdrop. We also shot on our textured wall. I love the variety we were able to capture during this business headshot session.

Good luck on your future endeavors Tim, and thanks for a great session!

P.S. Fun Fact, my fellow MIAD classmate, Colleen painted our textured wall when we first moved into this space. You can check out her work at Drew Art Inc.

Meet Montana!

Montana is an actor who came to us for update actor headshots! He has a lot of horror films under his belt, and is looking forward to expanding his portfolio.

Thanks for a great session Montana!

Past work that I did with Milwaukee Ballet popped up in my Facebook memories today, and I thought I’d share! I always enjoy the challenge of using still photography to capture an art form that’s all about movement.

Meet Arthur Ircink!

Arthur is a Documentary Filmmaker and Content Producer, Founder and Director of Wisconsin Foodie, and Owner and Editor-in-Chief of Edible Milwaukee.

I photographed some headshots for Arthur a number of years ago, but it was time for a refresh! I really enjoyed creating this cinematic set at the studio, and we got to incorporate some of the cameras that he uses in his work.

Arthur is also responsible for bringing me on for an Edible Milwaukee photoshoot at Dominion Family Farm where I created one of my all time favorite portraits - of a Turkey! At the end of the shoot, one of the turkeys flew and jumped off my shoulder, while another one flew right through the backdrop paper.

Thanks again for a great shoot Arthur!

Jessica recently finished her degree and wanted to up her game on Linked In.

We did a classic headshot and then more of a portrait option. Sometimes it's nice to have more than one photo in your personal Image Library so that you can choose the right photo for the location it will be used.

Thanks for a great session Jessica! Wishing you much success.
