Hi!

I'm Madeline,

I’m a wedding and portrait photographer serving the DMV with a homegrown heart and a love for the real and raw. With over 5 years of experience I’ve learned that the best moments aren’t staged or forced they’re the ones that happen when you’re just being yourself. That’s what I’m here for. I want every client to feel seen celebrated and completely comfortable in front of my camera. We’ll keep it easy natural and make some damn good memories along the way.

Two kids, two dogs, one camera, and a whole lot of energy—basically your day’s built-in party guest with a lens
