hi loves!
I’m MADELEINE, AND I’m so happy
you’re here
welcome
In order for you to know if I am the right fit for you, you have to know a bit about me!
I started taking photos over two decades ago, when I just wanted to capture the beautiful depth and nuance that I saw in my friends and the relationships that they were cultivating. I also loved how building a photograph allowed me to be more present in any given moment. To truly notice the warmth of the sun pouring through an open window or the creamy froth of an ocean’s wave. The look someone gives before leaning in for a kiss.
More and more I am learning to appreciate the day I have in front of me and how it might unfold. How it might show me gifts I hadn’t seen before. This is why I find solace in photography, and why I would love to work with you.
“happiness, not in another place but this place…not for another hour but this hour”
- Walt Whitman
About me
I am an extroverted introvert. I will love every minute of a dance floor but I will also be the one in the candlelit corner, talking about life with one person all night. I like to run and dance and paint, and I love throwing elaborate dinner parties. I feel most at peace when I am by water, and I feel most at home when I am with family and friends. I drink peppermint tea almost every day, and I love bread with butter and salt. And red wine. I like singing (badly) around a campfire and slow dancing in the kitchen. I like misty mornings, old books, and those magical little doves that you find in sand dollars. Above all, I value authentic connection and curiosity. I love asking questions about life, and will forever be seeking the answers.
