Your tribe doesn’t have to be large
If they are mighty.

Completing this beautiful wedding set with images that remind us of the blessings we experience through powerful friendships.

I don’t generally photograph weddings….
But I don’t mind doing a lil courthouse joint here & there.

Especially when the bride is my beautiful cousin .

Excited for y’all to see more of this gorgeous series.

I am deeply grateful for this art.
For the ways this work has brought me some of the most meaningful & beautiful connections with some of the most divine humans.

It is no small blessing to know the impact of being able to do what you love everyday, and in turn see the effect your artistry has on the people you depict.

And I deeply grateful.

Allow me to reintroduce myself….

I need to fill some space on my grid, and since I have some new followers on here, I’ve decided to use this moment to do another “get to know me” for folks new & old.

My name is Madylin Nixon-Taplet. I am a Creative Portrait Photographer who specializes in ethereal hyper-realism. A term I made up that essential says I live in and photograph from the ethereal realm. I’ve described my style in the past as depicting the world through a rose-colored lens with Black lace wrapped around the edges, and in truth, I just make it a point to see beauty in spaces that many folks miss.

I am also an Educator/ Program’s Director for The Beautiful Project (check em out). A part-time poet of life, fulltime mother, nurturer, friend, Black woman & the love of ‘s life.

I meet people where they are in their humanity and expect the same in return. If depth is your game, I am here to play a cute round with you beneath the waters. And if you’re more comfortable staying on the surface, I don’t mind taking a moment to share that light air alongside you.

I am a beautiful believer in the zodiac’s teachings.
Cancer ☀️. Ta**us 🌙. Scorpio ⬆️.

I carry the spirit of PHEöNIX. Only a few souls have truly known her, and that, in itself, is a gift (iykyk).
But be mindful of her fire. Because the color of her flame will always reflect how you choose to meet it.

And if you’ve ever had the pleasure of being in front of my lens, then you’ve had the honor of meeting Önwa. The guidance who carries my creativity from one world to another & back again.

I love the work that I do. I love the freedom it gives me to be exactly who I know I am, and that I get to teach others how to bring that kind of joy into their own lives through expressive storytelling, artistic passion and self-discovery.

If you’ve read this far, thank you for staying.

Let’s create together sometime. 💜🌙

To the woman who has brought me confidently into motherhood by mothering me with confidence…

Thank you for all that you have given, sacrificed, endured, shaped & created from your unyielding love.

Happy Mother’s Day, LaDondrea (not her real name) lol

I once met a sage
Who came from the stars.
She told me that my light was a gift from god…

And so was my darkness.

I’m Posting Again
And this season is inspired by one of most influential graphic artists I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing well.

Assata is the definition of a true ride or die. She’s been one of my most valued, respected and loved creative companions since returning to NC. Not only have we created so many beautiful works together, we’ve also laughed, cried, shared, cared & connected more deeply than I have with anyone in a long time.

I am so grateful to this wondrous soul.
Guiding and gifting us as human for the 1024th time.
