Originally from Ontario - I came out to Banff on a snowboard trip when I was 18. I remember spending my vacation fantasizing about what it must be like to wake up surrounded by the mountains everyday...two months later I was living here.
I told myself when I stopped appreciating where I lived and stop taking photos of the mountains daily that it would be my sign to leave town. 15 years later and I'm now making a career out of it.
I love adventure, camping, hiking, coffee and any conversation about what sets your soul on fire. I love the sound of laugher, the looks of love and the friends that text you to look at the sky, stars or moon.
But, Enough about me. I want to get to know you!
I've come to terms that not everyones style- is for everyone. My clients tend to be the ones that don't sweat the small stuff, the laid-back, mountain loving, go-getters. The ones that want to have a stress-free day and just to be captured in their element, prompted but not posed.
Want to hike for this shoot? LET'S DO IT! Your kid fell in mud? THIS WILL MAKE THE PHOTOS SO MUCH MORE REAL! It's raining? THERE MIGHT BE A RAINBOW! Life happens, and not everything is going to go according to plan. Most of the time when you approach things with this mentality magical things can happen.
If this sounds like you, I would love to make your vision come to life!

"Maddie is an outstanding photographer and I can't thank her enough for how amazing our photos turned out. She has a way of making you feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera, where you almost forget it's a photoshoot. Our engagement photos turned out so natural and really captured us as a couple, Thanks Maddie!"

"...I am so grateful for the lifestyle shoot we did with Maddie. It was our first time doing a shoot and she made us feel so comfortable. Both my partner and I thought we would be awkward in front of the camera but Maddie guided us and made the session so fun and natural. I also love how she offers hair and makeup before the photoshoot. It really made me feel at ease and I love the natural look she gave me. Maddie thank you for capturing me and Vince in such a beautiful way. I'm in love with our photos."

"I had a personalized branding session with Maddie and it was such a wonderful experience! Maddie was so warm, positive and down to earth and she made me feel so natural. From makeup to hair, to the actual photoshoot - she made it flow effortlessly and efficiently, which demonstrates how talented she truly is. Thank you so much Maddie for this experience. Can't wait to work with you again soon!
