Madison was amazing throughout the whole process of finding a family photographer for our dad's 80th. She was quick to answer, gave recs and input for places to do the shoot, has a special eye and directed 15 people effortlessly during the shoot and really captured special moments the family will appreciate yeara from now. 100% recommend working with her!

Madison was my dream photographer.
She is simply a lovely professional who clearly
understands the assignment and stays on task, plus she makes perfect suggestions and is super organized. We were able to have my daughter’s gorgeous bridal couples shower discreetly photographed during the luncheon with time for family and group shots which Madison quickly set up for each photo. I’m beyond pleased and I booked her for additional weddingevents. Thank you Madison! I’m so very grateful to have found you on such short notice!
Details: Couples portrait • Candid (captured in the moment) • Home • My home, venue, etc.

Madison was very easy and enjoyable to work with. She chose a great location for outdoor family portraits. The session went smoothly with quick turnaround time for the final product. And the portraits themselves were great quality. Highly recommend!

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Over the years, I’ve invested in workshops, online courses, mentorships, and countless hours of experimenting, photographing, and refining my style.
Working with agencies in LA gave me valuable insight into the professional side of portraiture. Everything from directing talent to understanding the technical standards for commercial work. Traveling and photoshooting in different cities and countries also pushed me to adapt quickly and creatively in all kinds of environments.
I completed courses on the skills of working with natural light, camera bodies and lenses, composition, storytelling/posing, editing and post processing. I contracted with a company based in NYC for 2 years with ongoing training and education.
I'm consistently studying new techniques, staying current with trends, and always pushing myself to grow both artistically and professionally.
