my real name is madeline

but people call me 'mads'

And now, so do you!

Because that’s the thing-- I’m a ‘cut to the chase, skip the small talk’ kind of person. When you’re in my world, there’s no need for pretenses, so, ‘Mads’ it is.

I am a Minnesota photographer that captures profound details in the every day: how the sunlight streams through messy hair, how hands reach for each other instinctively, and how the world feels soft and alive in the quiet moments.

My favorite season is fall, but I’ve recently really been warming up to the coziness and hibernation of winter. My happy place-- other than anywhere near my husband, Brett, and baby boy, Banks-- is a toss up between North Shore, Minnesota and anywhere in the Pacific Northwest. I’d move to Ireland in a heartbeat, if I could, though. Oh, and most importantly? I’m really happy you’re here.
