The Starter

30 minutes

Short, easy, and perfect for capturing a moment without overthinking it. We’ll keep things relaxed, move quickly, and still walk away with photos that feel like you.

Proposal Experience

This is your moment, and I’ll help make sure it goes exactly how you imagined. From planning and timing to capturing the reaction, I’ll be there behind the scenes so you can stay present in it.

Includes planning support, a location prep meeting, pre-proposal crowd control, full candid coverage of the proposal, and a mini engagement shoot after you pop the question! You’ll get a same day sneak peak for your ‘just engaged’ post and your full album will be delivered to you 3 days after your proposal.

“We had an outstanding experience working with Madison for our engagement photoshoot. From the very beginning, she was incredibly helpful, thorough, and communicative. She took the time to understand exactly what my plans were and made sure she fit into them seamlessly. She offered thoughtful guidance on locations and timing, and made the entire process feel as easy as it could be. 

Her attention to detail and genuine desire to help capture our special moment were evident from our first interaction. Madison’s final product exceeded our expectations. The images are beautifully composed, thoughtfully edited, and captured our special moment perfectly.

We couldn’t be happier with the experience and would highly recommend Madison to anyone looking for a talented and dependable photographer.”
