Get to know me
My passion lies in capturing the ordinary moments you'll miss the most.
As a fellow mom, I know these seasons go fast. From maternity and newborns to family sessions, couples, and graduation portraits, my whole job is making sure you never forget how this one felt. I genuinely celebrate every single family I work with. I'm honored to cheer for your growing bellies, watch your babies become toddlers, and show up for every milestone in between. Even after a decade into my career, I still get emotional at galleries. This work matters to me because these moments matter to you.

"We had such a fun time getting our family photos taken! Madison made us feel relaxed and the kids loved her right away. She gave great direction for more posed portraits but she was also able to capture special, spontaneous moments and these have turned into some of favorite pictures we have ever taken! We are so happy with the final product!"

Within 1–2 weeks, your 20 hand-edited images are yours! You’ll receive them in a beautiful online gallery, ready to download, share, print, and enjoy for years to come.
The Leslie Family
We absolutely recommend Madison for family photos! Not only are her photos stunning, but she is kind, talented, calm, professional, and everything you would want in someone capturing your family. From the very first interaction, Madison was incredibly helpful and thoughtful. She helped us coordinate outfits, suggested the perfect location, and made the entire process feel easy and stress-free. Madison helped us feel comfortable during our session even though we brought our 3 year old golden retriever and our 4 month old son, who was more than ready for nap time halfway through. Somehow, Madison stayed patient, relaxed, and captured the sweetest moments in the middle of the chaos that comes with real family life!

Ah, sickness and rain...the arch nemesis of any photography session. In both cases, I'm happy to work with you on rescheduling your makeup session. From one momma to another, let's hope and pray sickness does not enter your home because it's the worst watching each family member slowly go down like the domino effect. With sickness, all I ask is you let me know as soon as you notice something is off. With rain, I will keep a close eye on the weather days in advance as your personal meteorologist.
I completely respect that. In recent years, many parents have decided not to post their children's faces online. If this is you, be comforted to know that I will not cross that boundary. I will even send you a private gallery that is password protected. When I photograph your family, I will also include a plethora of poses not showing their faces in case you wanted to post them. Just let me know your personal preference ahead of time and I will absolutely respect it. You are the parent and I support you <3
Full galleries for mini sessions will be delivered within 1-2 weeks. While you patiently wait for your stunning portraits, I like to send each client a handful of sneak peeks to enjoy before their full gallery is delivered. I am intentional in the way I artfully edit each session and some sessions can take more or less time than others. If you need your gallery expedited for a specific deadline, just let me know in advance and we'll chat.
This is often the hardest part for my clients, which is why I am ready to pour out my knowledge to you and provide you with curated Amazon lists of outfit ideas. I have a several part series on my instagram (@madisoncole.co) of outfit ideas. You can also check out my blog post that breaks down in simple details how to style your family without losing your mind! I've got your back.
No, and sometimes yes depending on the wedding! I was a wedding photographer for nearly 10 years but I have since stepped away from shooting weddings after we started our family. I enjoy second shooting with other photographers but don't normally take on the lead photographer role these days! But if you ask nicely, who knows. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
