Madison took some of the cutest photos of my boyfriend and I recently, and I love how authentic she is as a photographer because it truly showed through her work. She was intentional with her shots and brought out genuine smiles! I’d love to work with her again.

"Madison was the best! Really patient and professional. It was like having a date with my boyfriend and friend hahaha. I loved not only the pictures but also the process, she guide us how to pose, she suggested places that she already tried the day before in order to have a nice sunset... Etc The editing that she made to our photos were also amazing!"

My partner and I decided to do a photoshoot for our 3 year anniversary. I am a non-binary goth and my partner is a stereotypical skater boy. we have a lot of love for each other but have struggled to find other people accepting of that love in the community in this way. Mads was sweet, and kind while working with us, making us both feel comfortable. we had so much fun getting to know her as well ! highly recommend. I thank her for everything + the distance she was willing to travel as well :) 🖤

My partner and I had such a wonderful experience working with Madison Joyce Photography. Met for a couple’s shoot at the Vista House Viewpoint! As a queer couple, finding photographers that are safe is hard sometimes. But we felt safe and listened to, and celebrated during our photoshoot. We would recommend Madison Joyce Photography to anyone looking for an effortless and fun experience that captures your love! (They also took some digital and some film photos)

It was so wonderful working with Madison. From the initial consultation to the actual shoot, Madison made me feel heard and at ease. She ensured our outdoor shooting location was not only perfect for the photos but also secluded and away from other people. By the end of our time, I felt so comfortable and confident despite the outdoor location. I am so thrilled with my photos and appreciate the quick turn around! Would love to book with her again! If you are on the fence about adding film photos, I would HIGHLY recommend adding some them on. They add an extra level of magic and I am so happy to have them!

I welcome all love and all people — every story matters here. Whether you're goofy, quiet, loud, or wildly in love, you’re safe and celebrated in front of my lens. I don’t just want to show up and take photos — I want to connect with you, laugh with you, and feel more like a friend who gets to witness something meaningful, not a stranger pointing a camera. This experience should feel easy, honest, and yours.
