MADALYN RICHARDSON
PHOTOGRAPHY
The Experience
To me, photography is more than just taking photos, it’s about being there for the moments that matter. I want to feel like family: the person you trust to show up for every milestone, big or small, and help you tell your story in a way that feels real and lasting.
Let’s have fun, get silly, and as I always say, "embrace the awkwardness" - because that’s when the real magic shows up. Your story deserves to be remembered as it truly is: full of heart, laughter, and those little in-between moments that mean the most.
My Style
I work with natural light because the best moments don’t need to be staged, they just need to be felt. Whether it’s chasing golden hour or embracing soft indoor light, everything stays relaxed, honest, and real.
My approach is connection driven, not pose driven. I’ll guide you just enough, but I care most about how you naturally laugh, lean in, or hold each other close so your photos feel like you, not a performance.
When editing, I keep things true to the moment. I enhance light, color, and tone just enough to bring out the feeling without losing the authenticity of what was really there.
What's Included?
When you book with me, here’s what you can expect - every session, every time:
You’ll receive every frame that tells the story, minus any blinks, blurs, or mid-sentence faces (you know the ones). No confusing upsells, no hidden fees.
All the good photos
Your gallery is yours to keep, download, and print wherever you’d like. That said, you can order prints directly from your final gallery - priced “at cost” to keep them as affordable as possible.
Full print rights
Flexible session timing
While sessions have a general time frame, nothing is hard set. We’ll shoot until we have what we need and you feel good about what we’ve captured.
Thinking about booking? Send me a message! I can't wait to hear about how I can make your dream photos come to life.

Testimonials
I was visiting from out of state and wanted to get maternity photos done while on vacation—I’m so glad I found Madalyn! She was incredibly responsive, easy to talk to, and made the entire process stress-free. She asked for inspiration photos and completely nailed my vision, bringing it to life in the most beautiful way. The photos turned out stunning, and she had a quick turnaround time with very fair pricing for the amount and quality of images we received. We had a fabulous experience and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and thoughtful photographer.
I absolutely loved working with Madalyn! She takes high-quality photos that truly capture the moment. Not only is her work stunning, but she also delivers your pictures fast, which I really appreciated. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for a talented and reliable photographer!

Her photography is amazing and her pictures come out beautiful every time! She is also amazing to be around and has great suggestions for poses if you're unsure of what to do! Definitely recommend for your next photo shoot!
-Gabriella P.
Madalyn was easy to communicate with, punctual, flexible, and sweet. I’m impressed with her talent and how well the photos turned out. We had a large party and ran late, but she waited so patiently for us. Our toddler son was acting up, but you would not know that at all from her photos. She really captured the best moments. Her turnaround time was super quick, and she responded to a photoshop request within hours. Very professional, I highly recommend.
-Amanda B.
I couldn’t be happier with my daughter’s senior pictures! Madalyn did an incredible job capturing my daughter’s personality in each shot. The session was fun, relaxed, and professional from beginning to end. She helped us select perfect locations for photos. My daughter felt confident and at ease during her photo session. The pictures were absolutely stunning. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-quality photos!

Not only is she a great photographer but she is professional, super sweet, a diligent worker, and clearly extremely passionate about what she does. Would recommend for any occasion!

Maddy was awesome and more than what we could have hoped for. She communicated quickly, helped us pick a spot and posed us throughout. She is super warm and makes you feel comfortable. She also shared our pictures incredibly fast and we are so happy with how they turned out!
