Let's share a meal, explore the Oregon coast, mountains and forest, take a picnic to a waterfall, share stories, play cards, honor our bodies and relationship to ourselves, have a dance party, or indulge in our favorite pastimes. Getting to know you and having an experience that you talk about for ages are some of my highest priorities. Aside from capturing stunning photos of you that is. My sessions aren't just a photoshoot, they're an experience. Documentary style mixed with intuitive prompting creates photos you will love.
Photography is more than just taking beautiful pictures — it’s about creating space for you to feel seen, known, and at ease. Whether you’re getting married, celebrating your relationship, or showing up for yourself in a boudoir session, my approach is rooted in intention and connection. I’m not here to just “pose you” — I’m here to capture the real stuff: the quiet in-between moments, the wind in your hair, the genuine laughter, the softness in your eyes.
I approach every session with a documentary mindset and a cinematic eye. That means I’ll guide you when needed, but I’m mostly here to observe, to notice the details, and to turn your story into something timeless. I use a mix of digital and 35mm film to give your gallery both clarity and texture — a balance of modern and nostalgic that feels deeply personal.
Sessions with me are relaxed, collaborative, and tailored to who you are. Whether it’s an intimate elopement in the mountains, a windswept couple’s session by the sea, or a quiet, empowering boudoir shoot — the experience is designed to feel more like a memory than a photoshoot.
You don’t have to know how to pose. You just have to show up as yourself. I’ll take care of the rest.
1. What is considered an intimate wedding or elopement?
An intimate wedding typically includes fewer than 75 guests, allowing for a more personal and relaxed experience. An elopement is an even smaller-scale celebration, including fewer than 10 guests, often just the couple (and sometimes a few close loved ones), focusing on their connection rather than a large event.
2. How far in advance should we book you?
For intimate weddings, I recommend booking at least 6-12 months in advance to secure your date. Elopements can sometimes be scheduled with less notice, depending on availability.
3. Do you help with location scouting?
Yes! I provide guidance on stunning locations for elopements and intimate weddings, whether you're looking for a scenic mountaintop, secluded beach, or cozy venue.
4. Do you offer packages with officiants or planners?
While I focus on photography, I can recommend amazing officiants, planners, florists, and other vendors to make your day seamless.
5. What if the weather is bad on our elopement day?
I always have a backup plan! Depending on the forecast, we can shift the timeline, find covered locations, or embrace the elements for unique and stunning photos.
6. Can we include family and friends in our elopement?
Absolutely! Your elopement can be as private or inclusive as you want. Some couples bring a handful of loved ones to witness their vows, while others prefer a completely private experience.
7. How many photos will we receive, and when?
Depending on the package you choose you'll receive anywhere from 100-1000 fully edited images via an online gallery, typically within 10 weeks. Sneak peeks are usually sent within a few days to a week!
1. I’m nervous! Do you help with posing?
Absolutely! I guide you through every pose, helping you feel comfortable and confident. You don’t need any prior experience—just come as you are, and I’ll take care of the rest.
2. Where does the boudoir session take place?
Sessions can be held in a professional studio, a luxury hotel, an Airbnb, or even in your home if the lighting and space allow. I’ll help you choose the perfect setting! They can also take place at a stunning location like a lake, mountains, forest, desert, or ocean.
3. What should I wear for my boudoir shoot?
Wear whatever makes you feel confident and beautiful! This could be lingerie, an oversized sweater, a silky robe, or even nothing at all—boudoir is about celebrating your unique beauty. Bringing multiple options is always the best bet and I am happy to help you decide!
4. Will my photos be private?
Absolutely! Your privacy is my top priority. I will only share images with your permission, and your gallery is securely delivered to you.
5. Do you offer professional hair and makeup?
Hair and makeup are not included in the session, but I’ve got you covered with a list of trusted artists I love working with! Once you book your session, I’ll send over my recommended vendors so you can choose someone whose style matches yours. You’ll book directly with them, but I’m happy to coordinate timing and answer any questions along the way.
6. Can I bring a friend or partner to the session?
You’re welcome to bring a friend for moral support! However, I find that solo sessions allow you to relax and feel more comfortable.
7. Do you edit or retouch my photos?
I lightly retouch images for blemish removal and color correction, while keeping your natural beauty intact. I do not alter body shapes because you are already stunning just as you are!
8. What’s the turnaround time for boudoir photos?
Depending on the package you choose you’ll receive 40-100 fully edited images within 4 weeks, with sneak peeks available within a few days.
"Madison's work is natural, candid, and full of expression and emotion. You aren't just getting some photos when you have her do photography for you. You are getting photographic portals that reincarnate the most precious details and moments of your session that she captures forever for you by using the lens of her camera like a kaleidoscope to connect with the deepest reflections of your story. She has an amazing eye for detail and makes you feel able to be yourself. We felt so comfortable in front of her camera, and she was able to capture the love and joy between us perfectly. We are so happy with the photos we received, and they will be cherished memories for a lifetime."
"Madison was such a pleasure to shoot with! I’ve done a few sessions with her and each time I am blown away by the content she creates. She has such a beautiful and encouraging energy that makes the photos come easy, 100/10 would recommend!!!"
"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 creative shoot with Madison was so fun!! She was kind, professional and willing to get into a lake to get amazing photos so she is also very dedicated to getting you the photos that will look best!!
Madison is wonderful! I've known her a couple years now and I won't go to anyone else for professional photos. Her work is beautiful and creative; my wedding photos are stunning and the day was captured perfectly. If I could give a million stars I would!
