Virginia is my home, the world is my backyard. 

Meet Madeline

Hello beautiful people! This is Madeline (rhymes with "grin"). She’s a thirty-something from Virginia now living in Portland, Maine who is a little obsessed with photography, travel, and the oxford comma.

Madeline started her photography journey by having little photo shoots just for fun with her sister and their friends when they were kids, but she started taking portraits for real in the fall of 2011. To keep things interesting for herself, she took up landscapes in the fall of 2014 and absolutely fell in love with them. That love has taken her around the world and now she juggles the two genres. She hopes to continue photography, in some form or another, through her adulthood and make a career out of it. She’s currently a photographer and manager with Strawbridge Studios, the oldest school portrait company in the South.

Projects

• Since 2019, Madeline has produced a wall calendar full of landscape images from her travels across the United States, Canada, Iceland, South Africa, and Spain. The galleries for the images in each calendar can be found here.

• In the summer of 2021 after the Black Lives Matter movement lead to marches and riots across the world, fueled by the murder of George Floyd, Madeline photographed the historic Robert E. Lee statue in Richmond, Virginia with its pedestal covered in graffiti and lightening in the sky behind it. Prints of these images were made available for the community to purchase and she donated all proceeds from those prints towards the Richmond Bail Fund. These “Lightening Over Marcus David Peters Circle” images can be found here.
