I'm Maddy, the person behind the lens

Hi! I'm a photographer and artist based in Holts Summit & Jeff City.

I'm dedicated to helping people see the beauty in themselves with photography that feels personal.

I have a bachelor's in Communication from BYU-Idaho, where I specialized in video journalism and developed the skill of capturing things in the moment.

Now I live in Missouri with my sweet husband, baby boy, and gremlin-teddybear-dog. I love painting, writing, hiking, singing, and playing board games.

My Approach

My work is an expression of what I am most passionate about: storytelling, humans, and our interactions with nature. I see beauty in everything and in everyone. Do you feel the same way?
