Hi Friends, I'm Madelaine!
Photography, to me, is more than just capturing beautiful images. It’s about telling your story—whether that’s the quiet connection between a couple, the playful chaos of a family, or the pride behind a brand you’ve built from scratch. My goal is to make every session feel like an experience: relaxed, personal, and full of moments you’ll want to relive again and again.
I specialize in couples, families, branding, and intimate weddings. I love taking my time to get to know each client, helping you feel comfortable in front of the camera so your most authentic self shines through. Whether we’re chasing golden hour or laughing through awkward poses, I’m here to make sure you feel seen, celebrated, and confident.
About me: I grew up in the sunny state of Florida and yes, I'm a die-hard Publix Sub fan. My cat Slash is convinced she's a dog and honestly... I believe her. I'm currently based in the Midwest, which surprised me -but I've fallen for the charm, the season, and yes sometimes even the snow. I'm obsessed with vibrant colors, golden light, and anything that feels like sunshine. Travel is my love language, and I dream of weaving it into my photography journey.
You’re welcome here—fully, freely, and unapologetically. This is a space where you can show up as your true self and feel seen, heard, and celebrated. As a proud ally of the LGBTQ+ community, I embrace people of all genders, ages, races, and orientations. You are never too much, never too little, and never alone.
Celebrate every part of who you are—because you are a radiant light in this world, and your story deserves to be honored.
Hi Friends, I'm Madelaine!
My love for photography started long before I ever held a camera of my own. I grew up watching my dad document family events and airshows, completely fascinated by how he could freeze a moment so honestly. That curiosity eventually turned into passion — so much so that for my 16th birthday, while most teens were dreaming of their first car, all I wanted was a camera like his.
Today, I specialize in portrait, lifestyle, and branding photography. I’m drawn to the sweet, in‑between moments — the light laughter, the quiet glances, the genuine fun that unfolds when people forget about the lens. Whether I’m capturing a family’s joy or helping a new business owner step confidently into their brand, my goal is always the same: to create images that feel warm, classic, and true to color. Photos that bring you right back to the moment they were taken.
I believe the best images happen when people feel comfortable, not rushed. That’s why my sessions aren’t strictly timed. The first few minutes are usually spent helping clients settle in, letting kids warm up, and easing any nerves. By the end, most people are asking if we can keep going — and I love that. Every session includes a cushion of time so no one feels pressured or hurried.
A camera can be intimidating, but your memories shouldn’t be. My job is to create a space where you can relax, be yourself, and trust that the real magic will happen naturally.
What Makes My Sessions Unique
Most of my sessions aren’t timed—because I believe the best photos happen when you’re truly at ease. I’ll never rush you or cut things short just because the clock says so. Whether it takes 20 minutes or an hour, I’m here to make sure you feel your best and walk away with images that reflect your story.
When you see your photos, I want you to feel excited. Excited that your love, your family, your brand, your vision—was captured in a way that feels real and beautiful.
A Few of my favorite things:
I have been a water baby since day one, my astrological sign is also Cancer so it just makes sense. I absolutely love swimming and soaking in the sun.
I love all kinds of ice cream! My usual go-to flavors are cookie dough, anything strawberry or vanilla bean. A perfect touch to summer day, really I could have it any season!
I listen to all kinds of music from the Beach Boys to The Carpenters; from Taylor Swift to All American Rejects to Hamilton. I like a huge variety.
First of all breakfast is THE most important meal of the day! And I could have it all day! Who does like waffles or pancakes any time of the day?
