My grad photo philosophy
As someone who also feels super awkward in front of the camera, I totally get it—which is why I tailor every session to you. My goal isn’t just to deliver photos you love, but to make the entire experience enjoyable, easy, and genuinely fun.
To get us started, I’ll guide you with simple, flattering poses to help you feel comfortable. As you ease into it (and get more comfortable with me behind the lens), you’ll start to take the reins—and by the end, we’re usually popping champagne and laughing our way through the final shots!
At the beginning of each session, I always say: I’ll offer posing suggestions, but if anything doesn’t feel like you, please speak up! These photos aren’t meant to be cookie-cutter. They’re meant to celebrate you—your energy, your accomplishments, and your one-of-a-kind story.
“Maddie is so fun and amazing to take photos with. She always made sure my hair was not messy, the lighting was just right, and my clothes were adjusted. She also got the photos to me within a few days and they turned out so beautiful.”
“Madeline was incredible! She shot our graduation photos and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable throughout the entire session. She had tons of ideas for poses and was always open to anything that we wanted to try.”
“Maddie was absolutely amazing for my graduation shoot. From the start, she was warm, patient, and incredibly helpful in making my friends and me feel comfortable in front of the camera. She guided us through poses in a way that felt natural and fun, so nothing looked stiff or awkward... She captured the joy and energy of the day perfectly.”
