Hi there!

I’m Madeline, the photographer behind Mitzi and Rose. I’m so glad you’re here.

When I pick up my camera for our session, my goal is to create a space where play, openness, joy, and spontaneity can join us for your session. In part, because the more fun you're having the more fun your images are, and partly because it’s my sincere hope that the family photo session ends up being a fond memory your family makes together.

My background as a preschool assistant teacher makes me uniquely qualified for young family dynamics, and a love of theater and performing ensures we don’t take things too seriously.

During sessions you can expect playful direction, and warmth and curiosity with your children. I may offer direction toward poses, but I also value following your child’s lead on what’s feeling connective and fun for them. I capture both polished and candid moments so you get a mixed of posed images and unplanned gems.

If this approach resonates, I’d be a good match as your photographer.

If you’re ready to connect send me a message.
