Our goal at Wehmeier Portraits is to provide
interpretive and artful reminders of your everyday moments. From
Life to Art is not just a slogan, but our philosophy. We
enjoy preserving the precious, fleeting moments of your child
and family in the form of an Artist Original that will quickly
become a family treasure. It is the love of photographing
our own children that has motivated Rob to offer his interpretive
style of photography to you.
We specialize in creating portraits on location (in your home
or a location of your choice) where you, your children, or your
family are most comfortable. We want to create an
artistic, sensitive portrait for you which is truly a work of
art. To aid you in displaying your portrait we will offer
suggestions on how to present the final piece.
Rob first explored photography at the age of 13 and later worked
to create an individualized major in Photography at Valparaiso
University. This time of exploration and experimentation
laid the foundation for Rob's present photographic style. His
entry into professional photography began as an assistant to
commercial photographers in Chicago, concentrating primarily
in the advertising and catalog markets. In 1995 the decision
was made to move away from assisting and direct all energies
into honing a style and direction for Rob and Wehmeier Photography. This
transitional period allowed for varied opportunities and clients
in addition to creative experimentation with formats, lighting
and subjects.
Today Rob's work has evolved from that of technician to artist. His
creative eye brings out the "wow" in life's ordinary
objects, be they people, places or things. Taking the
mundane and bringing it to life photographically is both energizing
and
motivating for Rob.
Working alongside Rob is his wife Elise. Elise manages
the studio and provides valuable insight into image selections
and presentation recommendations for each client and often accompanies
Rob to photo sessions. Her favorite "task" is raising
their favorite models, daughters Courtney and Brooke.
As an owner operated studio, we strive to offer the very best
in photography, service, and a personal relationship with every
client. Your satisfaction with our work is fully guaranteed.
