it was an absolute pleasure to photograph a phenomenal dancer, Shannon Quirk, at UW Arboretum. it was a beautiful autumn day! however, there were a couple hiccups at the photoshoot. including: i was unfortunately very sleep deprived, there were not many fall colored leaves this season, and i am still learning new equipment recently obtained during the pandemic. thanks shannon! i am so glad to be able to see you dance this season with Madison Ballet. Merde!
