behind the lens

 

Hey, I'm Madison!

 

Person wearing a black winter coat and patterned headband smiles while standing in a snowy forest setting.

I’m a Kentucky gal who has spent the last eight years living & creating in the West- from Oklahoma to Wyoming, Idaho, & now Utah.


I’m an avid adventurer (hello rocky mountains), proud lab & doxie dog mom, snowboard enthusiast, hobby sourdough baker, mountain explorer, messy painter.


My photography style is shaped by movement, place, & the contrast between where I come from & where I’ve landed.


I'm not just another vendor you book. I'm a 'knee deep in the thicket' kind of gal who is planning, scouting, and guiding you through your elopement day.

family

My partner and I share life with our two dogs, Omen (a mini weenie) and Binx (a lab). Yes, I know — they look just like me. Life is better with these three by my side, whether we’re at home or on the go.

adventures

Together, we love chasing experiences big and small: hiking through the Narrows, snowboarding, catching a metal show, whitewater rafting, or just soaking in a quiet night at home. Every adventure is better when we do it side by side.

my business history

I started my photography business in 2021, originally under the name Memories by Madison. As my work and perspective evolved, it felt right to turn a new leaf and rebrand as The Memory Folio — a name that better reflects where I’m headed and my continued exploration of the West.

My editing routine usually involves an ambitious combination of coffee and energy drinks, with my familiar, Omen, planted in my lap offering moral support (and zero productivity). When I’m not chasing adrenaline, I slow things down with sewing, painting, baking sourdough, or watching The Big Bang Theory reruns.

Testimonials

From start to finish our family session with Madi was perfect. She created an environment where we could just enjoy the moment with our little family. Her attention to detail and artistic vision truly set her apart. Madi has such a gift for capturing connection and she absolutely delivers beyond expectations every single time.

Madison went out of her way to find out about our personal preferences, she made us feel relaxed, and she created an exhilarating atmosphere that made taking the photos natural and easy. Her artistic eye captures not only the beauty of the scenery, but also the heart and personality of her subjects. I highly recommend Madison for a unique and personal photography experience.

Kimberly & Ryan

Couple and their dog relax together in autumn field at sunset.

I've never been one to go get pictures done until I experienced my time with Madison. She makes me want to go get pictures done all the time! She is so down to earth and a perfectionist at her job. I am so grateful that she did such an amazing job during our shoot. She literally goes up and beyond for her clients. So if you want someone who is passionate about her work, and offers a fun spin to it, you better call her and book!
