Meet the beautiful Maddie!
I met her parents two Septembers ago at the U2 concert, and now I am so lucky to have photographed their lovely daughter! There’s nothing better than having a breathtakingly beautiful Minnesota morning, coupled with a photo shoot with a breathtakingly beautiful senior!
Maddie is the whole package, really. Creative, smart, athletic, observant, compassionate. She’s the most down-to-earth, genuine girl. It’s no surprise to me that she has been chosen as captain of the dive team for TWO years in a row! That speaks volumes to her athleticism, character, and leadership skills. When she’s not in the pool, Maddie has a knack for biology and aspires to be an international marine biologist. How intriguing is that?! Maddie, I’ll be mostly happy for you and only a little bit jealous when you are living it up in a warm state for college, and us Minnesotans are freezing, haha.
With Maddie’s love for all things water/ocean/lake, we started off her shoot at Lake Harriet. The bright morning sun matched Maddie’s shining personality so well. Her lemon dress was also the CUTEST thing and it’s taking some serious will power on my behalf to not go order the same dress for myself. Then we went to one of my personal favorite locations, the Lyndale Rose Gardens, because there’s no better spot for elegant, colorful photos. Plus, the gardening grounds crew had just come to tend to the gardens and deadhead the rose bushes, so there were clipped roses all along the pathway. It was almost like they were elegantly set up just for Maddie! The cherry on top for this wonderful and fun shoot was getting to take home rose bouquets :)
Thank you so much for letting me take your photos, Maddie! You are truly a stunner, a wonder, and a world changer. I hope senior year is your absolute best year yet!
