Hi, I'm maddy!
the face behinD THE lens
Hi there! I’m Maddy - a cat mom to Millie and Marley, newly married to the love of my life, and so excited to begin this new chapter as a photographer. Photography has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember, and a few years ago I finally decided to turn that passion into something more.
After graduating from Illinois Wesleyan University in 2021 with a degree in Business and Marketing, I knew I wanted to build something that let me connect with people and create lasting memories. I’m so grateful you’re here, and I can’t wait to capture your story.
My approach
 
Every session begins with getting to know you. I believe the best photos come from real connection and trust, which is why I take time to learn about your vision before we ever pick up the camera. My goal is to create a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere where you feel confident and yourself, all while we capture images that reflect your unique story. I’m always open to new ideas and love adding creative touches that make your photos truly one-of-a-kind.
 
Kind words from

"Maddy is truly unlike any other photographer I've worked with. Her warm, upbeat personality instantly puts you at ease, and she brings incredible "cheerleader" energy that make you feel confident and celebrated throughout the entire shoot."
