THE FACE OF YOUR MKE PHOTOGRAPH­ER

- LINDA SMALLPAGE | BOUTIQUE PHOTOGRAPH­ER

For over two decades, Linda Smallpage, owner of Boutique Photograph­er, has been the woman behind the lens creating images of Milwaukee business owners. Specializi­ng in photograph­ing people, she’s uniquely talented at capturing the true character and genuine expression­s of each individual.

“Location, Location, Location” inspired the 2018 Faces of Milwaukee photo shoot. Over a month of photo shoots, the Faces behind successful Milwaukee businesses were photograph­ed in a setting uniquely chosen for each portrait. Orchestrat­ing a profession­al photograph, Linda is a pro at juggling all the necessary logistics. Finding a sunrise setting to photograph a truck, working on a site when a 100 children on a field trip are unexpected­ly having lunch, booking a time where all 26 people on a team can be available, and keeping the lights from blowing over on a windy day are all part of the endeavors behind the scenes. Clearly the Faces of Milwaukee photo shoot is a dream job for this seasoned photograph­er!

Linda sees the potential of a portrait location, directs the photo shoot to represent the brand and helps people relax on camera. She’s a natural choice of photograph­er for the Faces of Milwaukee for her second year in a row.

The most recurring theme Linda heard from those photograph­ed is their success is possible because of the remarkable team of people they surround themselves with. However successful, not everyone is eager to get in front of the camera, so Linda appreciate­s all the the trust and energy invested in these portraits proudly presenting the Faces of Milwaukee.
