l and she does an amazing job of helping you relax in front of the camera. She catches all the intimate moments between shots as well, transforming anyone who ever feels awkward or unphotogenic into the next top model! She shot our engagement photos as well as our wedding and we could not be happier with both! Everyone at the wedding talked about how friendly and easy to work with she was and praised her excellent work! We treasure our photos and I hope we can hire her again down the road!

was lucky enough to meet her when we hired her for our wedding in early 2018. Since then we have also used her services for family photos and senior photos. She brings natural smiles to everyone's face with her wonderful demeanor and the quality of her work is superb! She is prompt with communication and timely with product return. I could sing her praises all day long! I will continue to use and recommend Maddie for any photographic needs!

Maddie came to Cameo Heights to shoot our very intimate 16 person wedding. With an indoor and outdoor setting. We were so impressed with how she captured the lighting of the photog...
raphs. They were clear with high resolution for large prints. They were well lit and had a lot of soft focus. She took many photos that show our personal expressions and made it seem like we are there in that moment again, reliving the special time with our friends and family. We also were directed for different positions in couples photos, something we wouldn’t be able to pull off without her help. She sent us the photos on our one month anniversary which made it even more special. I would recommend Maddie for any event, she is a wonderful photographer and a very easy person to work with.
Maddie was an absolute blessing to work with. Not only is she an amazing photographer, she was a professional dress poofer, hair fixer, shoulder to cry on, human herder for family ...

ice and service. On our wedding day Madeline made our awkward laughs into serious model material!

one of the nicest people! I always recommend her when someone is looking for a photographer.
My husband and I have had the pleasure of having four separate sessions with Maddie. Maddie took our engagement photos, wedding pictures, graduation pictures and a portrait session...
for us. Honestly, we couldn’t have picked a better photographer. We jokingly call her our personal family photographer because we have done so many sessions with her. Not only were we able to get truly breathtaking photographs from every single session. She was so much fun to be around and made taking photographs fun, even with family members who normally hate pictures. Over the many photo sessions we have had with Maddie, she has become a friend not just our photographer. My husband and I got to watch Maddie shoot another wedding we were at before we even booked a photo session with her. It was at that wedding that I could see the talent and passion in her eyes. We were able to set up a meeting to discuss the idea of having her be our wedding photographer and she made us so comfortable that I had no doubt that she was going to deliver amazing work. Her work continues to amaze us after every single session. Looking forward to our next session!
If you are looking for a fun, trustworthy, compassionate, smart wedding photographer Maddie should be your first choice. She is amazing, she took all the photos that my husband and...
I dreamed of and more. She did a wonderful job on our wedding photos and I wouldn't choose anyone else. Thank you Maddie we will cherish our wedding photos for years to come. They all turned out so beautiful😊
