Central Pennsylvania wedding & portrait photographer

Hey there!

Hi, I'm Madison, an IUP alumni and full-time HR professional who turned my passion for photography into a side business. I've been behind the camera since high school, and photography has always been one of my greatest loves. I’m constantly learning and growing in my craft, and I live for capturing raw, genuine moments that tell your unique story. I’m based in Lewistown and State College, PA, but I love a good road trip!

I’m not just your photographer—I’m your biggest hype person! I’m here to make your session fun, relaxed, and full of laughter. Whether we’re chasing golden hour or dancing to your favorite playlist, I’ll make sure you feel comfortable and leave with moments you’ll cherish forever.

When I’m not behind the lens (or editing), I’m most likely spending time with my three cats, listening to Harry Styles, or traveling!
