I had the honor of photographing Claire last year as a newborn in her parents' fabulous, dark cluttered attic, one of my favorite shoots of the year. Abbey was hoping to capture the beauty of the season this year, so we drove south of Madison to find fall color and rural landscape to enjoy. Drought brought autumn foliage early to Dane County, but fortunately we have been blessed with a nice, long visit and there are some gorgeous reds and oranges out there complementing the corn stalks and crisp blue skies.

Thanks to Claire, Abbey, and Connor for a wonderful evening enjoying autumn and some quintessential evening light. Those ten minutes of evening glow are worth waiting the entire day for.
