I turned 29 this month 🎈

This year, I took a trip to New Mexico to see the International Balloon Fiesta. It was absolutely stunning, and I’d never seen anything quite like it.

Before a hot air balloon takes off, there’s planning and preparation. But when it comes to landing, things are a little less predictable. You can have a general idea of where you’ll end up, but you won’t know exactly what that looks like until you get there.

This past year brought a lot of situations where I didn’t know how things would turn out. I had to trust that, somehow, things would work themselves out.

If there’s one thing I’m taking into 29, it’s that we can have a plan, make adjustments along the way, and do our best to navigate the winds. But we can’t always predict where we’ll land. Sometimes, we just have to let go, make room for the unknown, and trust the journey a little. 🎈

I wanna to thank my amazing friend Jerica Schwanz | Photography for taking these photos of me. ❤️

A quick walk through the Quarries to capture some senior photos of Lathan. The light, the weather, and the mix of architecture and nature made for the perfect setting. 👌

I love when a location has a little bit of everything. You really can’t go wrong with the Quarries. A little bit of history, a little bit of nature, and some pretty damn good photo opportunities.

Good luck, Lathan! Enjoy your senior year. ✨

Alright, time to get extremely honest.

As a portrait photographer, nothing hurts my heart more than hearing someone say,
“I’m too fat to take photos right now.”

And as someone whose weight has fluctuated basically my entire life, I get it.

I’ve spent more time than I care to admit picking myself apart. Noticing all the things I don’t particularly like about myself. There have been plenty of times it’s made me camera shy, too.

But the older I get, the more I realize how much I don’t want to wait to like my body enough to let myself exist in photographs.

Because the people who love me aren’t looking at these photos and picking apart my body. They see me. And I think they’d much rather have photographs of me happy, healthy and living my life than have years of me missing from them because I didn’t think I looked good enough.

And health includes mental health. It includes the way we speak to ourselves, too.

If there’s one thing I’d want to be remembered for—as a photographer and as a person—it’s that I always try to see the good in people.

When I photograph someone, I really try to get a feel for who they are and capture them the way I see them: beautiful, interesting and completely one of a kind.

So I wasn’t really sure how to address this other than to come on here and say it:

You deserve to be in photos.

Not ten pounds from now.
Not when your clothes fit differently.
Not when you finally feel “photogenic enough.”

Now.

Every chapter of your life deserves to be documented as you are, no matter what phase you’re in.

And if you take anything away from this post, I hope it reminds you to be a little kinder to yourself.

With love,
Madi ❤️

An open road feels pretty fitting for senior year.

Somewhere between where you’ve been, who you’ve been, and who you’re becoming.

Senior photos don’t have to feel awkward or posed. Let’s make them cinematic. Let’s make YOU the main character.

I’ll bring the camera. You bring the effortlessly amazing person that is you.

Let’s make photos that could double as album cover art.

There’s still time — now booking Class of 2027 seniors. ✨

Let me introduce you to my tattoo artist ✨

This is Lilo — a well-known and loved artist in the Willmar community. I’ve been a fan of Lilo’s work for years, so when I found out she was apprenticing at Masterpiece Studio, of course I had to pay her a visit!

What I’ve come to appreciate most about Lilo isn’t just her talent, but how deeply she cares about the people who sit in her chair. She works hard to create a tattooing experience where her clients feel safe, comfortable, and cared for from start to finish.

There’s something really special about getting to support the artists in your own community and watch them grow in their craft. 🤍

Support your local artists. Support your friends. Support the people creating cool things right in your own backyard.

Go show Lilo and Bullseye some love and book your next tattoo at Masterpiece Studio in Willmar, MN. ✨

Absolutely loved this concept and had so much fun creating these images. It’s the best when I get to bring my client’s creative ideas to life.🖤

The Stearns County premiere of Echoes in the Night: The Search for Jacob Wetterling. ❤️

Just this past weekend, I had the pleasure of working alongside some outstanding individuals to help bring this new documentary film back home.

Friends, family, and community members gathered at the Paramount to witness a story that touched the hearts of so many play out on the big screen. Throughout the evening, folks connected with local resource providers, engaged in meaningful conversations with our panel speakers, shared stories, and, of course, enjoyed chocolate chip cookies.

There were so many heartfelt moments throughout the night. We cried, we laughed, we hugged, and together, we remembered the spirit of Jacob.

When I’m not behind a camera, I’m advocating for children. August 8th will always hold a special place in my heart because we gathered with one common purpose: to keep our kids safe. ❤️

I want to thank everyone who helped make this night possible, as well as all of those who work every day to support children and families through some of the darkest times in their lives.

It was an honor to be a small part of something that meant so much to so many.

🚨 New Mini Sessions Just Dropped 🚨

No awkward posing.
No standing in a field looking at the camera.

We’re going on a date instead.

☕ Coffee shops
🌇 Sunset walks
🚗 Drive-in movies

I’ll tag along (third-wheeling professionally) and document your evening while you just enjoy being together.

Date Night Minis

I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of photographing seniors on warm summer evenings. The light is softer, the pace is slower, and somehow everything just feels a little more magical. Forever chasing sunsets and frolicking in the tall grass. 🌾

I’m back in Colorado this month, and it reminded me of this beautiful day when I got to witness two people make a promise to each other in the Rocky Mountains.

My favorite part of being a photographer is getting a front-row seat to so many different kinds of love stories. Some couples are quiet and gentle. Some are loud and expressive. Others are bold, adventurous, and ready to chase the unknown together.

I’ve been incredibly lucky to watch people fall in love through the lens of my camera. Because of that, I feel rich. I get to collect some of the most meaningful moments in people’s lives and preserve them forever.

What a gift that is. 🌲
