I’ve been documenting the simple, beautiful, intimate moments of growing families through photography since before my kids were born. Taking hours of classes and practicing nonstop has enabled me to create magical photos my clients proudly display in their homes. It is one of my greatest joys.

I love adapting my approach to help kids (and their parents) have a great time, and capture your best moments. 

I'm Maddie,
A FRESNO-BASED PHOTOGRAPHER, CHASER OF MAGIC, FELLOW BUSY WORKING MOTHER, AND AVID READER.

about mtp

I’m a Fresno-born mom of three raising my family (and our dog) with my fun-loving husband, Dan. I’m also a chaser of magic: Harry Potter, Narnia, beautiful light, hot air balloons, a toddler’s giggle, that moment you look into your newborn’s eyes and feel your heart explode.

I love all of it and want to capture it and make time stand still for you. When I’m not chasing magic, I’m an avid reader who loves In-n-Out and chocolate malted crunch ice cream. My husband and I regularly throw disco dance offs with our kids in our kitchen, and my greatest accomplishment in recent history has been keeping several indoor plants alive.
