Jeremy Braun Photography

Working toward the goal of being the best photographer I can be. Born and raised in the northwoods, I have always been fascinated with photography.

It started with covering the sports photography for our high school yearbook. After high school I really found my stride working hard to capture the most important moments for my friends and family. My passion has only grown since then as I have continued to gain experience in photographing all of life's most memorable moments - newborns, graduating seniors, weddings, families, as well as landscap

es and sporting events. Please don't hesitate to contact me and I can show you how Jeremy Braun Photography starts with you.

"Sometimes we need to recognize that the closure we are seeking is actually just control we seek over how we want things to go. But you will always receive the clarity that you need in how a person considers you. Because anything that we care about, anything we consider, anything that we find necessary we will nurture." - Isaiah Frizzelle

“When you try to be for everyone, you become no one.”

This is a lesson I want to make sure Oliver is acutely aware of. He should continue to be himself. He's in his fast era; speed is king, and his feet are his method. Stripes on the side of the head can only mean one thing... speed. He gets it, I get it, running is fun. Not in that insufferable exercise-you-dread-as-an-adult-and-anyone-who-decides-to-do-it-must-be-crazy kind of way, but in that “I can beat you to that tree, Dad!” kind of way, or in that “You see that kid? He was 10 and I BEAT him!” kind of way.

I get it; I love to win. I mean, face it, winning fu***ng rocks. So, I think I'll encourage him to push himself, to love himself, to be himself, for as long as I live.

I'm glad year 32 taught me something.

“Grief is the price we pay for love.” - Queen Elizabeth

Happy Birthday Meg. I miss you every day. I could have shared a photo of my sister from when she was here on earth with all of us, but I decided to share a photo of where I tend to feel her presence with me most. When I am out in nature, hiking, thinking, reflecting on my life is when I feel her spirit closest to me.

Feeling that my sister is close with me since her passing has given me strength to get through my most difficult times. I also think frequently about if she would be proud of the man I’m becoming. I made so many changes in my life since her passing, it’s often thought of in my life as my catalyst to starting to improve myself.

I love my sister and I can hear her voice so clearly years after her passing. I can hear her saying “Jerm” in her “come on brother, you can’t be a sarcastic prick all the time” voice. Sarcasm, one of my many defense mechanisms, one she could see clearly through. She was an anchor for our family, able to balance our personalities, communicate in ways that connected us all.

She was incredibly wise, understood so much of the bu****it that exists in our society today and read right through it. She had a truly good spirit, and authentic care, a loving soul, something that seems so difficult to come by today.

I would love to spend one more day with her, get her advice on life, and tell her about being a dad. Her last text to me was how I would be a great parent. I wish I could bond with her over it, over anything, one more time. However, grief is the price we pay for love. Happy Birthday Sis. Me and Ollie talked about you a lot today. He exclaimed, “SHES 36?!? THAT’S 30 YEARS OLDER THAN ME!” so I hope you feel old. I love you.

"Just because I let go, doesn't mean I stop climbing"

Time to push forward.

In this season of giving thanks, I'm thankful to all of those who continually support me, reach out to me, and share love with me. I have been inactive, or less active in the social media sphere as my life has shifted dramatically and I navigate what it will look like going forward.

One aspect I know about myself is my love for photography, people, animals, nature and stories. I like to understand people, to hear the knowledge and wisdom they can impart on me. I look forward to implementing more of that into my work.

Art is also such an integral part of who I am as a human that I can feel an intense longing for it when I go without creating it. Sometimes you have to take a break to reignite the passion again.

I have immense gratitude for the life I have lived, and am starting to look forward to the life I have yet to live. I am looking forward to sharing it with you more frequently and continually evolving myself into a better person.

I look forward to sharing my vulnerabilities, reflections, and honest feelings as always going forward.

What is something you're grateful for this time of year? (Mine is my evolving relationship with Oliver)

“Letting go involves being aware of a feeling, letting it come up, staying with it, and letting it run its course without wanting to make it different or do anything about” - David Hawkins

The yellow jacket, producer of many stings including two on my fingers two summers ago. A story Ollie remembers, getting in the car and I didn’t notice they were building a nest behind my side view mirror. Me, blissfully unaware, slammed my door and rolled down my window and felt them crawling on my hand. I shook them off and yelled for Ollie to run. He was close to me and he took off like a dart back to the house. Two stings, and a story that will be remembered by Ollie forever. He frequently brings it up when we see wasps, he remembers, “Dad is that like the one that stung you”. Ollie gets it, connecting the dots and building knowledge from experience.

Luckily we get opportunities to revise how things can be understood. Yes the wasp caused me great pain in that instance, and yes it is notoriously aggressive, still has purpose and does wonderful things. We get the opportunity to see the good and the bad, and tonight I was able to explain that even though that wasp hurt me, here it is a pollinator doing one of the most important jobs for our earth. It didn’t sting me tonight, it just was doing a job it does over and over again and is often unappreciated because of its reputation. We have a terrible habit as humans of subcategorization, deeming people, things, life preferences either good or bad.

Lots of things in my life lately have followed parallel to this. I’m trying to remember that even though I hated those wasps on that day, they are incredibly important and I love what they do.
From the wasps perspective, my hand was invading its space and it had every right to sting me, to get me away from what was theirs. I’m sure it would have rather not stung me and just kept building the nest behind my mirror. I forgive those wasps because the anger and resentment from that is not worth the weight of carrying going forward. I also hope they forgive me for encroaching on an area they thought was safe, next time I’ll be more diligent about checking before(hand). (Pun Intended)

"You help people when they need help, not when you are ready to help them." - James Clear

I have a bad habit of trying to fix things right away. I don't like sitting in discomfort of things not feeling right. I am starting to do more reflection on that aspect of my personality and learning that not all relationships are mine to fix. Sometimes time and space are what's needed and I have to sit with faith that I will be guided where I need to go.

Sunsets are beautiful and sad to me. They bookmark the end to a day that we never get back. Make the most of today, be present and share your love with someone today.

Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers out there. I am so proud and see so many wonderful men leading such a powerful and transformative fatherhood experience to their children. Keep learning, growing and teaching the valuable tools to our kids.

I am grateful for my father who guided my growth and was always there for me. He is wonderful and accepting of all of us kids and helped teach me some of my most foundational core values of acceptance, meaning, and emotion.

I am working on being a better father. I like to look back at every fathers day and reflect if I’ve made an effort in my own emotional, physical and spiritual growth. I know that making the effort to better myself is amplified in how my child perceives what it is to be a boy/man in our society. I make an effort to teach him how to love, how to be open and vulnerable about his emotions, how to be accepting and how to roll with the punches of life that are continually thrown.

I had the opportunity yesterday to practice what I preach. Me being 31 but still a kid at heart made an effort to catch a football and took a dive on my shoulder and broke my collar bone. It stinks but it’s life. I now have a bit more time to reflect on what got me to where I am in life and how I can use this hurdle as a building block towards what I want out of life. Some of my goals for this year might be a bit on hold but life is unpredictable. Approach it with acceptance of what happens and you won’t ever get too discouraged.

Sensitivity is not a weakness.

Sensitivity is not a weakness. To be sensitive to others, everyone around you, those that you love dearly is a gift. It allows you to allow space in the relationship for honesty. There is no judgment, there is only time and space to grow. I have learned to love my sensitivity, I used to hate it or mask it. I used to do the things to try and fit in, but now I’m embracing it. It allows me to be a better friend, a better partner, and a better father. Truthfully I cry a lot, the little things, Ollie’s last day of 4k, any episode of the show Q***r Eye, when someone is honest and vulnerable in any way, those things erupt me with emotion. I love crying, it's a release and it feels good, it also allows you to feel acutely with another person, which fills a deep purpose in my life.

Let your kids be sensitive, and embrace that emotion when they are sensitive, because it’s a beautiful vulnerable experience they are letting you be a part of. Especially with our sons, our boys need to be more connected to their emotions and their feelings. Learn how to express emotions positively, communicate through them, and enjoy them. Grow our children, our next generation can be better and it's our job to do so.

You are not an inconvenience in life. The way that you are, and the way that you function is all part of the human experience. From addiction, depression, anxiety, sadness, to being a person who is self destructive of the relationships they have in their lives, these all are under the umbrella of being human. Also who you are and who you choose to love and how you choose to love falls under that same umbrella. The sooner we realize we are all in this together and stop picking apart our differences the sooner we will have a significantly better society. Try and meet people where they are in life without a preconceived notion of who they are or how they are based on stereotypes or what the media says, we are all humans having individual human experiences. You are loved, you are not a burden, you are valued. Be exactly who you want to be, I’ll be there to accept you as you are.

Also two days of bird photos because I've truly missed nature photography and I'm getting back into it! :)
