I bring a mix of passion, creativity, and real-world experience to every session. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with Keyser High School Baseball, serve as Petersburg High School’s Sports Photographer and Media Specialist, and be the official photographer for multiple WVSSAC Championships. I specialize in sports, couples, engagements, senior portraits, and creative sessions — always with a focus on capturing authentic emotion and timeless moments.

Beyond photography, I’ve built confidence and storytelling skills through pageantry, including being crowned Miss West Virginia Poultry Festival Queen and competing in both the Miss USA and Fairs & Festivals systems. Most recently, I was accepted into West Virginia University’s Sport and Adventure Media program (Fall 2026), where I’ll continue developing my skills in sports media and storytelling at the collegiate level.

As the founder of Madelyn J Photography, my mission is simple: to help people feel seen, bold, and unforgettable — one shot at a time.
