I'm Madison -
Some of you have been here for a while, and some of you might be finding my work for the first time-
Either way, I'm really glad you're here.

My love for photography came unexpectedly in the form of a little purple film camera given to me by my mom
over twenty years ago. That was the first time I remember the feeling of genuine excitement and inspiration to create. Honestly, it's the exact same feeling I get when I pick up my camera now.

I've always loved portrait photography, and when I became a wife and a mom, that love only grew. I began to
realize just how important the little moments can be - Playing outside on a fall day, baking cupcakes late at
night, reading on the couch, making music together. Capturing those moments not only lets me see what my
loved ones looked like at a certain time in their life, but it also lets me see who they were, what they loved, and most importantly- how they felt.

I'm based in Willow Springs, Illinois. The area is surrounded by beautiful lakes and forest preserves, while
still local to spots like Downtown Lemont or Naperville so it isn't a far drive from whatever location fits the vision you have for your session.

I'm drawn to photos that feel lived-in and honest. My approach is to give just enough direction to help you
feel comfortable, while still leaving room for things to unfold naturally. We will all outgrow the season of life that we're currently in, and as my mom always told me... "Let them wear the batman costume." Come as you are now so that one day you can look back and feel joy for every version of yourself you've gotten to experience.

If you're an individual, couple, or family who is looking for photos that feel natural and reflective of who
you are at this time in your life,
you are at this time in your life,
I would absolutely love to work with you.
