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. I’m based in Lewistown and State College, PA, but I love a good road trip!

Meet Your Photographer

Hey there!

Hi, I'm Madison, an IUP alumni and full-time HR professional who turned my passion for photography into a creative side gig. I've been behind the camera since my high school yearbook days, and photography has always been one of my greatest passions. I’m constantly learning and growing in my craft, and I live for capturing raw, genuine moments that tell your unique story.

When I’m not behind the camera (or editing), you can usually find me hanging out with my fiance and our cats, listening to the newest Harry Styles album, or planning my next travel adventure. I’m a bit of a Disney adult (but I promise, the cool low-key kind). 

I have a pretty silly, carefree personality and fully believe your session should feel like you’re just hanging out and having fun - not something stiff or awkward. If you’re down to laugh and have a fun time, we’ll get along just fine!

Beyond the camera

Get in touch!

Now that I’ve began going through more of life’s big moments and milestones myself, it’s become even more clear just how meaningful photos truly are. These seasons go by so quickly, and having those moments to look back on is something I don’t take lightly. It’s what fuels my passion even more. I know these milestones can feel overwhelming at times, but I’m here to make the experience feel easy, fun, and a little less intimidating.

I’m also an overprepared girlie (even if that means I have to lug it all around). From step ladders to changing tents, umbrellas, or blankets, I try to expect the unexpected and come ready with anything we might need to keep your session running smoothly.

If you think we’d be a good fit, I’d love to work with you! Fill out the form below and let’s start planning something fun.
