Hey gorgeous, I’m Mads! Your camera-wielding number one
Here to capture your bittersweet, unscripted, and wildly emotive moments which make your story uniquely yours.
A visual storyteller and your personal hype-woman (who always has your back)
I’ve always been captivated by the way a single moment can hold a thousand emotions. It’s why I picked up my first camera at 10, fell in love with photography in high school, and found my way back to it years later.
My journey into photography wasn’t just about learning to capture light or composition — it was about preserving the fleeting moments that pass us by too quickly. In 2018, I began documenting the rugged beauty of Outback Australia and the incredible people within it. Before long, families started asking me to capture their milestones, and I fell in love with storytelling through portraits.
In 2021, when I became a mother, I truly understood how important it is for mums to be in the frame — to have those raw, unfiltered moments preserved and displayed. Now, every session is more than just a photoshoot; it’s about connection, about making you feel seen and comfortable enough to be your truest self. Because when you do, that’s when the magic happens.
Now, I create art that lets you relive your most cherished memories—raw, wild, and exactly as they were.
What makes me unique from the millions of other photographers in the world…
People and their stories mean everything to me. I believe in showing up fully — whether it’s for my family, friends, or the people who trust me to capture their most meaningful moments. Life is richer when we take the time to truly see and understand each other.
Deep connection
Things that are naturally important to me and reflect in my work:
tap + hold to reveal!
hover to reveal!
I value honesty, vulnerability, and being true to yourself. There’s no need to fit into a mold — real, imperfect, and beautifully raw is always enough. I believe in living life unapologetically and embracing the little moments that make it uniquely yours.
Authenticity
Art has always been a part of who I am — whether through photography, storytelling, or simply seeing beauty in the everyday. I believe creativity is a way of life, and self-expression is something to be celebrated.
Creativity and art
I find peace in the quiet moments — morning light on the farm, salty ocean air, the feeling of bare feet on the earth. Life moves fast, but I value slowing down, being present, and soaking it all in.
Simplicity and slow living
The people we hold closest shape us in ways nothing else can. As a mother, I know how quickly time slips away. Whether it’s my daughter’s laugh, late-night talks with my partner, or the warmth of old friendships, I believe in nurturing the relationships which make life feel full.
Family and love
I believe in appreciating the here and now. Life isn’t perfect, but there’s so much magic in the ordinary if you take a moment to look.
Gratitude
And when I’m not documenting your beautiful moments or love story...
You’ll find me soaking up golden hour with my daughter, making memories on our farm, or chasing waves along the coastline. Life’s best moments are the unplanned ones — just like the ones I love to capture.
"We had Maddie as our photographer for our wedding on Kangaroo Island and we can highly recommend her. The whole process was so easy, she kept me on track and stayed in contact throughout the whole planning process. Mads was awesome to have on the day, from helping the girls with their dresses to making sure everyone was organised and in the right spots. We had our sneak peak photos with 24 hours, which were amazing. We are so obsessed with our full photo album and couldn't thank Mads enough!!"
What are you
waiting
The magic is already happening — let’s capture it in a way that feels real, raw, and so unapologetically you.
