Truly don't have the luxury of time to be fooling around like this, but sometimes it's fun to experiment. 🙈

From one perfect spot to the next, Addison absolutely glowed in the midst of all that the Mary Jo Wegner Arboretum had to offer! 🌸 🌳

Had such a fun time with her (and her glam squad 😄) this past weekend, I couldn't resist sharing a few favorites right away!

🤔Poll: which edit do you like best?

Hopefully you prefer at least one! 😆

Isn't it amazing how much an edit can transform a picture?

None of these are the original, by the way. I'm just experimenting and can't decide. Sometimes, this is the hardest part of completing a session--deciding how to move forward!

I haven't shot a wedding 💑 in years, but I came out of retirement in early July to help out an old friend.

What a privilege to be a part of Kurt & Jill's special day, which took place at the new Silver Creek Events facility in Madison. 😍

Best wishes for a long and happy marriage for this wonderful couple. ☺️

Good golly Miss Molly! 💃

I don't even know where to begin sharing photos of this absolute sweetheart of a young woman. It's a good problem when every picture looks AMAZING! 🫶

Thank you to the Oscar Larson Performing Arts Center for hosting a wonderful evening celebrating art and community. Also appreciate the Brookings Arts Council for inviting me/my photograph to be a part of the visual arts showcase in this inaugural event.

Zoom in on comment board for hubs’ feedback 🤣

Also, peep the importance of lighting and using a flash…sweet shadows under eyes/chin. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Prime example why we photogs never want to shoot when the sun is highest in the sky! 😆
