I’m the artist here behind the lens! I’m a proud wife and mother. I enjoy spending my time with my family, Jesus, reading the Bible, watching the sunset, hiking, grilled cheese, and capturing photographs. When I'm not taking pictures I’m probably chasing my 3 year old little girl around the park. Taking photographs and films for you is my passion. Capturing timeless memories is my way of serving people in this life. It is my calling and what brings me great joy....

I'M MADIE. I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE!

If you're looking for a photographer

                                                   is where you will be the memory makers of fine art heirloom wedding and portraiture photography. Here we're all about capturing the soul of it all, your heart and where it comes from. Where your roots and ancestors are from. It's all about having a heritage heart. A "Heritage", what does that mean? It is something possessed as a result of one's natural situation or birth and can also be property that descends from an heir. These images are your heirlooms, telling your story, and being captured in time to be passed down as your heritage. Therefore bring the 2 together in union to create real, authentic, love right here at the epicenter, your heart!

I cannot wait to post more and print them off and spread them around my home! Girlfriend, not sure if your mind was set on photography from the beginning but if not, God paved the way for you to find His true calling for you because you are magic behind the camera! Thanking God for letting our paths cross and so to have these sweet memories to always look back on!

MEADOR WEDDING

We went back and forth on getting a video for our wedding. We were the “is it worth it!?” people.. and I can absolutely say it was 10000% WORTH IT!!!! As I sit here and watch it AGAIN I simply have no words…. this means the absolutely world to us. I can’t explain how phenomenal this film is. It completely captures everything we hoped for. I HAVE SO MANY TEARS!! So many butterflies. This brings us back to that day and the sweet moments of it. This is something we will treasure for the rest of our lives. Madie, you truly, truly outdid yourself. It’s everything and more. You’re talent is UNREAL. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Seriously. Thank you. I wish I could hug you. You’re incredible. I really do wish I could thank you in person. I’d squeeze you!! Preston says thank you too 🥰 I sent it to my entire family. Everyone’s head over heels for it. Preston’s mom was crying. 🥲. We are so so thankful we crossed paths and chose each other.
