I've been documenting the simple, beautiful, intimate moments of growing families through photography since before my kids were born. Taking hours of classes and practicing nonstop has enabled me to create magical photos my clients proudly display in their homes. It is one of my greatest joys. As a mother of young kids, I have a lot of love and understanding for little ones who might not be all that excited about being photographed.
You may have noticed there's a wide range of pricing for family photographers. With a $250 session fee and collections starting at $750, I'm neither the cheapest nor the most expensive photographer in Fresno. My focus is on delivering incredible value to each of the families I work with.
From the moment we make contact, I will make it easy for you to feel ready for your session, for your family to enjoy creating photos together, and for you to have beautiful custom art you can display in your home and enjoy for a lifetime.And with a perfect 5-star review record from more than 60 clients, you can be confident that you're getting an amazing value when you invest in a session with me.

What you do with your images is maybe the most important part to consider when booking a photo session, but usually it's overlooked or ignored. With all the time and money you're investing in those photos, they deserve to be enjoyed rather than shared once on social media and then never seen again on a hard drive.
I love photography and supporting small businesses. My goal is to enable small businesses to obtain the greatest impact and outcomes with social media and online shopping, by having high quality images showcasing your products. Your products are then seen as highly desired, value-added products that deserve a consumer's second look instead of a passing glance.

Maddie is the absolute BEST! She makes us introverts feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We had fun taking pictures with her (our second time using her) and honestly the smiles and laughter were so authentic thanks to her. Of course the photos turned out excellent and we couldn't be more pleased.

This was our first family photo shoot. Madison was so helpful with creating a concept and picking out the best location. Our daughter wasn’t having the best day and Madison was so patient. Once we saw our final gallery we fell in love. She captured so much love and happiness. Would be honored to work with her again.

Our family hired Madison to take photographs of our family and mainly our son due to him turning a year old. We felt comfortable with Madison during the entire process and my wife really liked how well organized she was. There's wasn't any guesswork involved and we felt truly able to enjoy the photo session. Family and friends have been impressed with the photos taken and we love them as well. Highly recommend Madison.

Madison did such an incredible job with our family pictures and I can’t wait to get them up on our walls! She was very helpful throughout the entire process and able to offer advice and tips on clothing, location and everything involved in taking pictures. She was very easy to communicate with and responds very quickly. We are so happy with how everything went and will treasure our pictures for years to come!

I initially wasn't to sure that I wanted to take maternity photos, but since its my first baby I figured I would give it a go. I am soooo glad I did. Madison did such an AMAZING job, and captured more than we could have anticipated. We absolutely love our photos, and don't even have a favorite since there are to many great options. Besides taking fantastic shots she is just wonderful to work with. She made the photoshoot both fun and unforgettable. It never crossed my mind to schedule a newborn session, but after working with her and seeing what she is capable of there is no doubt in our minds

Our family just LOVES Madison. Madison has been taking pictures of our family for three years now and we are never disappointed. Our pictures are always so beautiful and capture the love we have for each other. She is great with babies and toddlers and can capture precious moment in a flash. If you need outfit advice, she’s on it. She is very responsive and always professional. She is super patient with kids too. It helps she is respectful of her clients wishes and always has a warm smile when you talk with her. If you’re looking for someone to capture your family, Madison is your photographer

I highly recommend Madison for your photos! Both my husband and I literally had tears in our eyes when we received our photo slideshow,they were just so beatiful. She put us at ease throughout the whole shoot & found great spots at our house to shoot. She kept my 3YO involved and entertained and she provided a lot of information on how to prepare my newborn to be comfortable for the photos. I am so happy we got these photos and recommend your family does the same. I will definitely contact Madison again for more photos in the future.

Madison is a true professional at both photography and getting your child to come out of their shell and just be who they are. I was a bit nervous to see how my daughter was going to do with someone she hasn't met before, especially after being in quarantine for so long, but she loved Madison and we got the best pictures of our sweet girl. After we left my daughter exclaimed that she was "so sad to leave" because she had so much fun with Madison. At every step of the way Madison will contact you or send you emails with helpful tips, and is willing to help ensure you have a great experience and

Our first time doing a professional photo shoot. All I can say is I am SO glad we went with Maddie to do our maternity photos. She was so wonderful, made us feel very comfortable, drove to a spot of our choosing and did a small hike with us while we took photos!! Best part is she appreciated our love for our dog, as we took him along with us and she got the cutest shots of him/us. Maddie got the photos back to us early, and they look great. Very happy and I am sure we will be using her again!

We chose Maddie as our Maternity photographer for our first baby because we love the candid/natural style she has. The session was so smooth and easy going. We love the memories that Maddie captured and will forever cherish these photos of our little one in mama's belly.
