My family surname, Beausoleil, means Beautiful Sun in English. I am a “beautiful sun” photographer. It’s all about the light – at sunrise or dark of night.

In English, my last name (Beausoleil) means Beautiful Sun. I've always lived up to my name, up early with the sun, and almost always with a camera in hand. I've been a landscape and night photographer for over 15 years, and just recently started displaying my work on my website - BeautifulSunPhotography.com.
As the saying goes, a picture might be worth a thousand words, but for me, there's always a backstory. That what this blog is about. To tell the story behind my photography.

Timing the Sunrise
There is a major difference in timing when photographing a sunrise on the Great Lakes vs the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Winter Night at the Milwaukee Art Museum
It is always a treat to find the wings open on the Milwaukee Art Museum. Especially on a cold December night under a full moon.
Self Portrait
Even though I’d never been there, I felt a sense of familiarity when looking out over the Pacific Ocean in Big Sur. I felt like I was finally at home.
Being Prepared In Case of Emergency
An accident while out photographing nature can happen to anyone. Here’s what I learned after I had a hard fall recently and what I did to help prevent further mishaps.
