Hey, Hi, Hello… I’m Maddie
A Piece of my Soul Will Eternally Belong to the Wild
Whether it be in the beauty of vast evergreen forests or the blissful silence at the peak of a snowy mountain range - I belong. I’ve always been in awe of nature and the way it makes me feel like no dream is impossible. After all, even flowers find their way through sidewalk cracks. I seek adventure among the trees and along glistening river beds… anywhere I can feel the earth beneath my feet is where my soul whispers “home”.
It’s slow summer nights gone too fast, spent listening to the rhythmic humming of crickets as fireflies illuminate untouched meadows that make me want to freeze time - even if only for a moment. It’s the feeling of nostalgia - of wishing you had more than just a memory of the past - that calls me to my camera.
With a camera in my hand, I capture stories that would have otherwise become lost - the ones memories can only hold for so long before they fade away. I capture nature and lovers and soulmates in their most fleetingly beautiful moments. I believe photography is magical. Photographs remember the past in vivid color and tell the best love stories without words. They are reminders that we were, are, and will always be eternally wild.

WHAT I VALUE MOST
I’m deeply passionate about protecting the places that give us the gift of awe. The Earth is not just a backdrop- it’s home.
That’s why I follow and advocate for Leave No Trace, a set of principles that guide us to explore responsibly and minimize our impact on the natural world. It means staying on designated trails, packing out everything we bring in, respecting wildlife, and leaving each place exactly as we found it - if not better.
We are incredibly lucky to experience these landscapes, and with that comes a responsibility to protect them. We only get one Earth. Let’s treat it with love, care, and gratitude-so it’s still here for the next generation of dreamers and adventurers.
Let's Do It!
I’m here to help you bask in your own unique adventure - the kind that truly reflects the one-of-a-kind journey that you and the love of your life have been on in some of the most beautiful places on Earth. To be completely yourself on your wedding day is for the brave ones fueled by adventurous hearts and deep, authentic love - the wild kind that can't be tamed. And that's what I'm here to do - capture wild love in wild places
