Celebrate Mother's Day a little early in Winterset this Saturday! Start your day at the Madison County Farmers Market kickoff, grab your Wine Walk 🍷 ticket from Madison County Chamber of Commerce to sample and shop your way around the square, and then enjoy the Central Iowa Auto Club's Show & Shine that evening. ☀️ The weather is looking to be perfect for a day out in Madison County!

During Wine Walk, remember to stop and see me at the studio from 1-6 for a sample from Winterset Cidery. While you're here, it's the perfect time to book a portrait session for your family, your high school senior, or maybe a bo***ir session for you. A portion of every session fee booked during Wine Walk is a donation to Bras for the Cause Madison County - Winterset IA. See you soon!!!

The Winterset Wine Walk is this Saturday from 1pm-6pm in downtown Winterset! Make it a full day out by attending the morning farmers market and evening car show.

Opening night for the “Witches?! In Salem?!” dinner theater was yesterday — what a treat! 🤩 Even with the storm outside the show went on as cracks of lightning magically lined up perfectly to the storyline! Directed by Teddi Yaeger, this production by The Winterset Stage is a must see. I hope you got your tickets ☺️

Sip, stroll, and stop by the studio 🩷 this May 9th during the Winterset Wine Walk, a Madison County Chamber of Commerce Event!

Join me at the studio where I’ll be pouring a couple of local cider/wine samples and raising money for our local Bras for the Cause Madison County - Winterset IA.

If you’ve been thinking about booking a session, this is a great time!

✨ Book that day and $50 of your session fee will be donated to Bras for the Cause.

Families, seniors, maternity, branding, or something just for you—it all counts.

Session can happen between now and August, but booking during the event secures your spot and gives back to a cause close to my heart.

Grab your ticket, come say hi, and let’s plan something meaningful!

The lovely Erin was back in the studio recently, modeling a few of her favorite outfits she performs in. I’m looking forward to seeing her swords duet soon! ⚔️

Senior sessions don’t have to fit into one box -- They should reflect the many facets of your personality.

You can include your favorite college hoodie, the tailored suit that makes you feel capable, items representing the passion you spend hours on every week, and the clothes you practically live in.

This moment is all about you being you!

✨ EARLY BIRD booking is now OPEN ✨

Between now and April, reserve your session date for this SUMMER and your session fee rolls right into art credit!

DM me to start a conversation or visit the BLOG at www.photician.com/blog to explore the possibilities.

Congrats to the Madison County Chamber of Commerce! I love how you continue to find innovative ways to benefit members and support our community 🖤

If you’re not already a member (as a business or resident), I hope you’ll join us soon!

We’re Growing, And So Is Our Impact.
Today, we are proud to announce that the Madison County Chamber of Commerce has purchased the Winterset Citizen.
Moving forward, the publication will be known simply as The Citizen — serving residents, visitors, and businesses across all of Madison County.
For years, we’ve heard from members that connecting with local residents matters. This move allows us to do exactly that — in a direct, consistent, community-centered way.
The Citizen will:
• Expand business visibility
• Strengthen community connection
• Promote local events
• Integrate with Chamber communications
This isn’t just an update.
It’s an investment in Madison County.
We’re excited for this next chapter.
