ABOUT — Madeline Palardy Photography

Maryland Wedding & Portrait Photographer

Hello

LOVER OF LOVE ✷ AQUARIUS GAL ✷ CREATOR

I’m more than just a photographer—I’m a storyteller. Specializing in lifestyles and love stories, from weddings to maternity sessions, I'm here to capture it all.

My journey into photography kicked off after the birth of my daughter when I was feeling pretty lost. One day, I grabbed my mom's old camera and started snapping shots of my family. It was like a switch flipped inside me, and I just knew I had found my thing. Photography quickly evolved from a pastime into a way for me to express myself and capture the beauty all around.

For me, photography isn’t just a photoshoot or snapping pictures; it's a celebration of love and joy. I've worked hard to create an atmosphere that's inclusive, warm, and supportive. Whether it's lending an ear, offering a pep talk, or just providing a safe space, I'm always here for my clients.

People have described my work as authentic, candid, timeless, and enchanting. I have a knack for capturing genuine moments that feel effortless and true to my clients' essence. Staged poses? Nah, not really my style. I'm all about those real, unscripted moments that tell your story perfectly.

My photography approach is dynamic and playful, rooted in the belief that movement and authenticity capture the essence of a moment far better than static poses ever could. I thrive on engaging my clients—encouraging them to move, laugh, and interact naturally, especially the little ones, for whom I love to create a game-like atmosphere for to grab their genuine expressions.

Tailoring each gallery to reflect my clients' unique styles is a joy for me, and having the creative freedom to do so is what I love most about my work. It’s about crafting stories through lenses, with a personal touch that resonates with each client.

A perfect day in my eyes would be..

Reading a great book as the sun rises, and sipping on a nice cup of iced coffee. Then spend the rest of my day laying on the beach while my family played in the water. To be honest, anytime we go on vacation feels like a perfect day!
