Photographer in Washington, District of Columbia

My favorite thing about being a photographer is having the opportunity to tell your story. I am passionate about ensuring your comfort when you are in front of the lens, because only when you are comfortable will your authentic self show up in pictures. I want to be your friend who just happens to be holding a camera. I have explored all corners of the photography industry. My sports photography had been published in The Washington Post, I've done product photography for Sweat Cosmetics, and my nature photography has been featured on National Geographic's website. In 2021 I've photographed weddings, family photos, headshots, and senior portraits. I also have experience in dance photography. My first model was my friend Lea who is a ballerina, so my photography chops were tested with pointe shoes. Since those middle school days, I've been contracted by Ballet Nova and have received national recognition for my ballet photography. Having grown up in DC, I love working in the area and have the advantage of knowing all of the best locations off the beaten path. How else would I know that Ace Tool Rental provides a great location shot for senior portraits, or that Prince Street is perfect for family photos? I am passionate about ensuring your happiness, both with the final photos and our entire experience together. Just bring yourself, and I'll deliver classically beautiful photographs. I can only show you three photos here, so please see my website - https://madelynwood.photo - for a more comprehensive portfolio, and please contact me if you want examples of a specific genre of photography.
