Monkey See, Monkey Do

What great fun a mother & daughter can have in a studio session when given the chance to just be themselves. Forget the formality of rigid poses or the casual outdoor phone snapshot – these two were right at home having some great fun together making memories that both will remember for a lifetime.

Twilight Beauty Glows

Hans Rupert — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 01:10:16 +0000

This senior took my encouragement to keep going for her photo session even after the sun had set. Even as we had a harder and harder time seeing one another, and I struggled with focus (yes, I still use manual focus for shoots like this), we were able to achieve a look that can only [...]

Prenuptial Glow

Hans Rupert — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 09:52:38 +0000

This bride was absolutely glowing in front of a window when I captured this image before she was about to don her train & veil. Sneaking in these quiet, lovely moments before a wedding ceremony often proves to deliver some of the most lovely shots.

Academic All Stars

Hans Rupert — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 09:02:19 +0000

It really is great to see students treated like celebrities. I was asked to produce this as a covering shot to capture the feel of the night honoring Rockford’s finest students for the year. They were all invited to a gala event at the Coronado Theater with their families, friends and teachers to be recognized [...]

Brick. House.

Hans Rupert — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 00:20:37 +0000

Shake it down, shake it down now… At the last River District Association Red Ball, the theme was a ’70s disco party, and these girls really brought down the house. Photos of parties & events like this are always a blast. All the lighting you see here was produced by us to replicate the ’70s [...]

Babies Love Balloons

Really, they do.

North Woods Charm

Hans Rupert — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 09:49:38 +0000

This couple from the SanFrancisco bay area traveled all the way back to the family lake home in the north woods of Wisconsin to be married at the Knights Templar lodge house. How many brides will kick up their heels, smiling in front of a Northern Pike? Weddings should be fun, and this couple is [...]

Icelandic Bride

Hans Rupert — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 09:38:44 +0000

Well, okay so anyone who knows me, knows that I’m cheating here. This is my lovely bride, and we eloped to Iceland to get married. Being of Scotch-Irish & Swedish descent however, everyone in Iceland mistook her for being native though anyway; so much so that they would just speak Icelandic to her, assuming she [...]

Chromazones revisited: pick a color, any color

Hans Rupert — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 21:52:47 +0000

If I told you I could create any one of the colors you see above at a client’s request in under 5 minutes, would you believe me? What if I told you I’d do it all in camera, without ever launching Photoshop? Or, that I could deliver the precise RGB or CMYK values, and assure [...]

Cycloramas: nothing else will do

Hans Rupert — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 10:16:39 +0000

Seamless paper comes in some lovely colors. But, it doesn’t come in every color, and certainly not in 20ft. widths. Plus, paper wrinkles, tears, gets dirty beyond salvation, and frankly isn’t exactly “eco-friendly”. That’s why I really love our studio’s cyclorama. We had some friends over for dinner one night, and all the kids wanted [...]
