Why we ranked them

Why we chose Ally Wurts Photography

Ally Wurts splits her time between a studio space in downtown Brookings and her home in Milbank, driving in regularly to keep up with a client base built over more than ten years in photography. Her business covers a wide range of life's milestones -- wedding days, newborn sessions, family gatherings, and professional headshots -- all under one roof at her 4th Street studio. What stands out about Ally's approach is the range: she's equally comfortable directing a wedding party through a full day of coverage and settling into the slow, quiet pace a newborn session demands. Clients describe her as professional, warm, and genuinely funny to work with, a combination that tends to matter most when a session involves a fussy infant or a family trying to wrangle several kids into one frame. In 2025, she restructured her pricing so digital downloads come included with every booking fee, a change aimed at making sessions more straightforward for the families she works with. Based just down the road from South Dakota State University, Ally has built her business around the rhythms of a college town crossed with a farming community, and newborn families across Brookings County make up a steady part of her calendar. Reach her directly by phone or through her studio to check current availability.
