I had such a great experience with Madison! The photo session felt light and relaxing, and she was professional throughout. For the first time, I had too many good pictures to choose from. I’ve had so much fun adding my new photos to my work bios and social media profiles. I highly recommend her!

Maddie is the best and worth every penny! We love her work and what she captures, but the experience is amazing too! Leading up to your session she reaches out to you and provides ideas and lets you know what to expect. She is fantastic with kids! We have used her for newborn sessions and mini sessions. She is extra special with new mamas and makes the experience wonderful especially for tired new parents. We love Maddie!
Price assessment: Reasonable price

We had a great experience with Madison Thomson. Our extended family session involved 16 people --from preschoolers to grandparents--, and Madison handled our group well. She was very patient, engaging, and accommodating. Thanks so much!

She has taken my favorite family photos. She is so good a posing and directing wiggly kids to get a great picture. We love Maddie.

Madison was organized and responsive from start to finish! We booked her very last minute and she quickly sent me a questionnaire to collect the details about our family and photo shoot preferences. Madison not only read our responses, but she also showed up to our photoshoot understanding family dynamics and addressing people by name . Madison was brilliant with the kids and even brought them a special toy. I would recommend Madison to every family!

Maddie was such a delight to work with! She runs a tight schedule but makes you feel like you have all the time in the world to get every precious shot that you want. She knows exactly how to keep the kids in order for fun and stress-free family photos. The gallery was delivered so quickly and the photos were of course beautiful. Maddie’s expertise really shines through in every step of the process and I will definitely work with her again for a variety of our family’s portrait needs.
