When Jen reached out to me about doing Madelyn’s senior session in Winterset, Iowa, this fall I was just a little excited. Jen and my sister became dear friends years and years ago. The one time I met her, I was rolling over with laughter her entire visit. I get the idea that it’s normal to be laughing whenever Jen is in the room. Yes, yes. I would certainly come to Iowa for her firstborn’s senior session.
Skip ahead a couple of months and Jen was discussing location ideas for Madelyn. What do I think about Pepper Harrow Flower Farm, Winterset’s beautiful town square, and sunset at the high school football field? Sign me up…sign me up now. I’ve always wanted to photograph a session in a flower field, and Madelyn was PERFECT for that location. And downtown Winterset? Their town square reminds me of another Iowa town square that was a focal point of my childhood. Talk about memory lane in my home state of Iowa!
Because I was nearly back home for this session, my mom was gracious enough to tag along for our evening. In fact, my sister FaceTimed in from Arizona and I couldn’t help but laugh through the entire session. Madelyn is one of those girls who is stunning but so down to earth. She was incredible, and she has a rather large gallery to show for it! All in all, I’d do this session again in a heartbeat. Scroll on down to see a few of my favorites.
