I want you to remember the way the wind tousled your hair – their tiny hand feels wrapped around your finger. How your partner’s loving whisper feels against your cheek, the scent of roasting marshmallows and the feeling of one too many s’mores in your belly... Whatever this moment is for you, this season of living that you’re in, I make it my mission to help you remember every single detail, every small memory, just the way that it was. There is so much beauty in every emotion, every feeling.
When you imagine the heart-swelling moments with your loved ones, the times when you felt a spark of genuine adoration, affection, and connection… Where were you? Was it breezy and brisk, or with the sun wrapping you in a golden embrace? Were you barefoot, wild and free against wet sand while you tried to outrun the rainclouds rolling in? Maybe you were home, in your favorite sweater sipping tea while the mug fogs up your window.
This. These memories. This is how I believe photos should feel.

Life brings us the broadest spectrum of emotions, and I strive to be a storyteller of every feeling. As a cinematic Alaska lifestyle photographer, I specialize in capturing heartfelt moments that reflect your unique story. Whether you're documenting the anticipation of your growing family, your engagement, wedding, or you and your littles before they get too big, my goal is to provide you with timeless, stress-free memories.
Those raw moments that feel candid, effortless, and true-to-you are the ones you will cherish the most as your photos age. The most memorable times are almost never picture-perfect... Think of your family wandering in a mud-soaked boots & dresses or the undone emotions of reading a love-letter. Your photos should be an un-rushed, enjoyable experience you want to re-live over and over, and I'm here to help create that for you.
from the melancholy moments to the joyful ones.
“We LOVED working with Madelynn! She was my dream photographer, we even planned our wedding date around when she’d be available. She was so so helpful from the beginning of our planning process all the way through our wedding day! The photos she delivered for both our engagement session and our wedding were absolutely perfect. I’d absolutely recommend Madelynn and will for sure be working with her again!"
“We love love love Madelynn! She has continued to document our life together since our engagement back in March 2021. Next she will be capturing our new arrival. She makes every occasion an enjoyable experience! So genuine and really wants to know you and your story.”
“Maddie took photos of us and our baby and these photos mean the WORLD to us. We have had many photographers in the past, but she truly has been our favorite. She not only made us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera but she also brought out so many emotions and captured them so beautifully. She doesn’t just take photos. She takes the time to get to know you and your story and it is communicated through her art. Couldn't recommend her enough!
If you’re contemplating a shoot with Madelynn, just do it. This woman is insanely talented and is equally as sweet. She doesn’t skip the details, appreciates and tells a good dad joke, and will make you so comfortable in front of the camera. Her images are the best quality, and the perfect amount of moody. Love. Love. Love.
"Not only did our images come out beautifully but I wanted to be Madelynn’s friend by the end of our session. She is just as kind and enjoyable to be around as she is talented. Anyone who gets the privilege of being in front of her lens will leave with more than just nice photos to print and post."
