Lucy | madison west senior photographer

Madison Senior Photographer_0007Before we had our senior session, Lucy and I met over coffee on comfy chairs in front of a dimly lit fireplace to casually chat–about her interests, school, work, friends, college. She had recently completed a senior photography Pinterest collection, and we used that as a springboard to discuss style and inspiration.  It was fabulous to know what she was drawn to, and even more heartwarming that we were a fantastic match for each other.

We found some cozy nooks nestled deep in the forest and wide open fields of wispy autumn grasses at the UW-Arb to settle into. As we wandered and talked and clicked, the first flocks of the season were soaring south; the elongated aviator silhouettes against azure skies and communicative honking defined this as a fall evening. We found light in coming through trees in streams and flares in several different pockets, and it never ceases to amaze me that we live this close to such an inspiring space.

Lucy is as sweet as she is beautiful!  I’m I’m over the moon that I was abel to capture a couple moments with her mom, Mary, who tagged along as an outstanding assistant.  With my own three young kids at home, it’s emotional for me to be part of this senior moment–the final months at home before college.  The embrace I caught here between mother and daughter is for both of them, but the mother in me identifies with Mary’s intensity.  Moms everywhere just had a little heartstring pulled.  Exhale, Moms; we’ll get through this!

Lucy, your future is bright and gorgeous and all things wonderful. I believe this with every ounce of my being.  Go get ’em!
