From the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Jungles of Tulum — Beauty Photography That Honors Every Version of You

Whether you're stepping into my private studio on Main Street in Wytheville, Virginia or wandering barefoot through the jungles of Tulum, every session is created to reflect who you are in this moment—and reveal something even deeper.

In Appalachia, I offer a one-on-one experience designed to make you feel fully seen. Whether you're booking modern headshots, fine art portraits, or beauty sessions that celebrate your strength and softness, this space is all about you.

In Tulum, you'll shoot with my creative team on-location, surrounded by nature and energy that stirs something wild. Afterward, we’ll sit together for a personal image reveal where you’ll select your favorite portraits—each one infused with meaning.

Wherever we meet, I’ll guide you through the entire process with care and intention. From styling and posing to your final image selection, this isn’t just a photoshoot. It’s a reclamation. It’s your return to self.

Testimonials

I’m from a small town so I was lowkey nervous to do a boudoir shoot. But Madeline? She made me feel sexy and seen. I never felt judged, just celebrated. These pics? Fire. She got me feelin' like a whole Appalachian goddess.

“Tulum was a movie”
That jungle shoot? Literally felt like I was in a goddess dream. Maddie and her team pulled up with the vibes. I was GLOWING, a crown, the ocean behind me, and a WHOLE crew hypin’ me up. I will never be the same.
— Nia J., Atlanta (shot in Tulum)

“Not me crying at my own reveal”
Like... I’m not tryna be dramatic but this was healing. I’ve had a hard year, and doing this session in Tulum—barefoot in the jungle, hair wild, no makeup at first—she captured me. Not the version I pretend to be online. The real me.
— Steph R., Chicago (Tulum Session)

“Y’all. She SNAPPED.”
I booked this shoot for my man but ended up doing it for me. Maddie is such a hype woman, she had me feelin’ like a supermodel. I ain’t even gonna lie—when I saw the pics, I cried. She got me in a way I didn’t know I needed.
— Des T., Tazewell, VA

“Grown woman energy unlocked”
I’m 52. Thought I was too old for this kinda shoot. Madeline said nah. I walked out that studio with my head high, curves out, and feelin’ like I could take over the world. Every woman deserves this.
