Meet the Photographer

Hey friend,
I'm Madison

I was born in Minnesota and grew up to have a heart rooted in faith, adventure, and storytelling. I was raised in a small rural town, where I grew up surrounded by open skies, long dirt roads, and quiet corn fields that instilled in me a deep appreciation for the simple things in life. My Catholic faith shapes the way I view the world. I see photography as a way to reflect God’s beauty, whether its in the golden light of a hike, the quiet emotion of a candid moment, the laughter shared between friends, or the exchanging of vows on a wedding day. When I'm not behind the camera, you’ll find me exploring new trails, getting lost in the pages of a theology book, sketching in my journal on a mountaintop, discovering a song that feels like home, hosting the warm laughter of friends, or car camping under a sky full of stars. For me, photography became so much more than just taking pictures—it’s about preserving the feeling of a moment, the adventure of life, and the joy that ties it all together.

Things I Value

FAITH

I see every moment as a small glimpse of God’s love. With a heart for beauty and truth, I capture the sacred in the ordinary—the joy of a wedding vow, the tenderness of a family embrace, the quiet grace of creation, and the joys of pregnancy. Through each image, I seek to reflect God’s presence, stir the soul, and preserve moments of love and faith that last forever.

TRUST

Every session as more than just pictures—it’s about capturing trust, love, and the beauty God weaves into every moment. For me, photography is not just an art but a calling—an opportunity to be able to serve others, honor my clients' diverse and ever new stories, and create images that reflect the love and beauty of the whoever stands behind my lens. 

SPONTANEITY

Adventure. Exploration. Discovery. Get off the beaten path. This is what I live for. If you live for the wild, unplanned moments—the wind in your hair, the laughter that comes out of nowhere, the way love looks when no one is watching then you are in the right spot.  lets capture the kind of moments that make you want to relive them over and over. Ready?

Frequently Asked 

Where are you based?

I'm based in Denver, Colorado and I love to travel. So if you are planning a destination wedding or travel somewhere beyond Colorado don't hesitate to reach out. I always look for the most cost friendly ways to travel because I know how special it is to shoot at a location that means the world to you!

Is there a retainer fee?

Yes, I do have a retainer fee upon booking weddings so that I don't advertise the date you book to other potential clients. 

Do you offer payment plans?

No, as of right now I do not offer payment plans, however usually after talking with clients we are able to figure out a package that best suits each persons budget!

What is the delivery timeline?

I deliver wedding galleries in roughly 6-8 weeks from the wedding day. Other engagement or portrait galleries are delivered in 3-4 weeks. 

What equipment do you use?

Most of my weddings are shot with a Canon 6D Mark ll and I switch between a 35mm and 85mm primarily. For larger weddings I bring my 70-200mm to get those close up shots without being in peoples faces! Generally I only use natural light but I will use off camera flash if needed.
