Into The Garden We Go...

Where to begin….I love everything about this session. If anyone wants a photoshoot in their garden, I’m your girl. In fact, if every shoot I did was in a garden as gorgeous as this I’d be happy as a clam. Not even considering that the model was one of my best friends, this was a really fun shoot. And when you're having fun, you're going to get lots of fun pictures.

Anyone who knows me knows I typically outdo myself when it comes to the amount of photos I deliver. My website says 20-40 for a regular session and 15-20 for mini…..expect more. I just can’t help myself. And this one was really tough to limit myself! I would share the whole dang gallery with you if I could. I’ll just share a few instead.

So, yeah…..next time you feel like getting all pretty and taking pictures in your garden, hit me up.

Black And White For The Win

Every time. I seriously can't even begin to tell you just how much I adore black and white photos.

I mean, look at those.

Look at these!

Overexposed photo? Black and white will fix it.

Underexposed? Black and white.

Absolutely gorgeous photo that you love to pieces? Black and white, you'll love it even more!

Okay, maybe I'm going a bit overboard here but you catch my drift. So I apologize ahead of time if I overload your social media feed with black and white versions of previously uploaded photos.

Okay, just one more. Because why not?

Timeless and classy. Thanks for attending my Ted Talk!

Yours Truly,

Maddie

HEY THERE!

Hi! Some of you may already know me (shout out to all the supportive friends and family!). But for those of you who are new or just checking out my page, I wanted to post an introduction. One that's little less formal than the summary in my "Behind The Camera" page.

So my name is Maddie! Most days you can find me at my full time day job (love having a solid career but let's be honest: End goal is full time photographer!) or I can be found at home with my sweet baby girl and loving husband. In my pre-baby days you could typically find me doing just about anything outdoors. I'm an avid hiker and love getting out in nature any way I can. We also have a rockin' side by side that we love hitting the trails with (when we can find a babysitter). And in my pre-marriage days, before there was a mortgage and other bills to be paid....just about every paycheck went towards new fishing gear. I know....what was I thinking!? Just imagine if all that money went into a savings. I guess that's why they say hindsight is 20/20. I've also got a beautiful (okay, weed filled) vegetable garden that I tend to each year. When I find the time I do some canning to preserve the veggies I've grown. If anyone wants some pickles, I'm your lady! Seriously, my husband would be forever grateful if you took some off our hands. I may have gotten a little carried away with pickling one summer...

Looking back I can say my hobbies have changed a little with each season of my life. But one thing always remained the same...my photography. It has always been a love of mine but it remained on the back burner until recently. I was always taking pictures. When I was hiking, fishing, gardening.....all my hobbies were tied by my one ultimate passion. So it has brought me great joy to finally follow that passion and turn it into the dream job I should have chased years ago.

It would be my absolute pleasure to be your photographer sometime! I still get excited (and also rather flattered) any time someone asks me to take their pictures. So the next time you are looking for someone to capture those special moments for you and your family, keep me in mind!

Yours Truly,

Maddie
