MEET THE WOMAN BEHIND THE CAMERA
Hello!
I'm Madison, or as my mom calls me, Mademoiselle.
I believe that nature holds a kind of magic—a healing power that gently soothes the soul. The warmth of the sun on your skin, or the way a light spring breeze can steady your heart. When I’m outside in the fresh air, I feel renewed, as if Mother Nature herself is leaning in to whisper, “Slow down, babe. Enjoy the moment.”
It’s from this place of serenity that Light Garden Photography was born. What began as a simple vision has grown into a heartfelt photography service—a time to gather with loved ones, soak in the beauty of nature, and lose themselves in the sweet stillness of the present moment.
Life moves in the blink of an eye—the whirlwind of your wedding day, the ever-changing rhythm of growing children, and the tender, everyday moments that become our most beloved memories. It’s my hope to help you hold onto the blissful glimmers through the magic of film—so that whenever your heart longs to wander back, the memories are waiting, ready to welcome you home.

ABOUT MADISON:
I’m a glass half full kind of gal, always drawn to the light and beauty in life.
My perfect morning starts with a snuggle with my babies, an energizing yoga flow as the early light spills in, and a warm vanilla latte to get the juices flowing.
My curls? They’re my war paint. Big hair, don’t care—when my waves are full of life, I feel like I can take on the world!
Most of my days are spent with my loving husband, Jason, chasing after our beautiful babies, Vivian and Levi. Our home is filled with the soothing sounds of the piano, playful moments amidst the woodland critters in our backyard, and the smells of home cooked meals filling the kitchen.
In my free time, you’ll find me lost in creativity—tinkering with macrame, mixing candles, trying my hand at watercolor, tending to our flower garden, and, above all, pouring my heart into being the best wife and mama I can be.
I’M A(N):
Wife, mama, Aries, extrovert, dancing queen, neat freak, yogi, animal lover, optimist, giver of hugs + singer of catchy songs.
THINGS I LIKE:
Milkshakes, springtime, electronic music, art nouveau, punchy comedy, nature walks, crafternoons + movies with happy endings.
THINGS I DON’T:
Clutter, roundabouts, glitter, awkward silences, mushrooms, long lines, shower curtains + uncomfortable shoes.
I believe a portrait is more than just an image—it’s a glimpse into the our soul, a reflection of the love we carry within us. A meaningful photograph lets us relive the moments that matter most, keeping them close long after they’ve gone.
I have a photo of my grandparents hanging on my mirror—a simple snapshot from a grocery run. My grandpa is wrapping my grandma in a loving embrace, and she’s snickering at the camera. Every morning, I’d casually glance at it and think, ‘They’re so cute—I can’t wait to see them at Christmas.’
It wasn’t until they passed, that I truly understood the power of a photograph—the way it becomes a window to relive the warmth and love of those we miss. That realization forever changed my perspective of what it means to be a photographer, and how truly priceless the images we create become for people.
Now, when I capture newlyweds celebrating with loved ones young and old, or parents chasing around after two tiny feet, I do so with a deep appreciation for what these moments will mean years from now. Photography isn’t just about images—it’s about preserving the love, joy, and connection people hold dearest.
