documenting love and life in
I aim to take photos that hold meaning not just now, but years down the road! Timeless images that help you relive how it felt in that season of your life.
Washington and Beyond
From the moment we start working together, I want you to feel at ease and like you’re spending time with a friend rather than posing in front of a camera.

Lifestyle and Wedding Photography
Stories worth holding onto
Born and raised in Washington State, I grew up in the heart of the Cascades in a small town before finding my way back to the Seattle and Eastside area, where I am now based. I have loved photography for as long as I can remember, from taking photos of my sister in the backyard as a kid to rediscovering that passion in my twenties. Today, I approach every session with a warm, inviting energy, creating a space where you can feel comfortable, relaxed, and truly yourself. I want the experience to feel easy and more like spending time with a friend than being photographed.

What it’s like working together —
My approach to photography is all about creating a space where you feel comfortable and at ease. I’ll guide you when needed with natural prompts that encourage connection, but I also leave plenty of room for moments to happen on their own. What matters most are images that feel honest and true to you.
Sessions are made to feel natural and go with the flow. I keep things easy and unobtrusive while focusing on small details that often mean the most. The goal is always to create images that bring you back to how this season of life really felt.

"She instantly made us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, which is something we were both a little nervous about. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, kind, patient, and has an incredible eye, Maddy is your girl!"
"Maddy gave clear direction while still letting us be ourselves"

From the very beginning she was kind, communicative, and so easy to work with. Throughout the session she made us feel comfortable and confident, turning the whole experience into a fun, relaxed afternoon. We were blown away by how beautiful the photos were! They thoughtfully edited, full of emotion, and everything we hoped for.
"Maddy really took the time to understand and honor the vision we had in mind."
Cody +Haley
Maddy was awesome. We took family photos at a great park she picked out. Very keen eye. She was extremely polite and flexible. She was very friendly with direction and professional. Highly recommend! 5-stars.
"She was able to adapt with grace"
Chelsea, Joey + Baby June
This was our first time getting family photos and it was the most relaxed and fun experience. Maddy was a magnet to our 6 month old baby and had her smiling and happy the whole time! We had our photos edited and sent to us in under a week and they turned out amazing.
