Everything but your standard portrait photographer.

A vintage-style instant camera with a pink and black body, green and black dials, and a large central lens.

Professional & Award-Winning Portrait Photographer Based in Winnemucca, NV.

Hello, my name is Madralynn. And I am all about creating unique moments in time. I want your photos to be as unique as you are. I love capturing people in unscripted moments and creating a narrative all their own. I grew up in the forest of Northern California, where I swam in the rivers and hiked in the woods. You would often catch me with a frog, salamander, or horny toad in my hands. Making mud pies or picking my Grammy’s flowers were a few of my favorite things. To say I love being in Mother Nature is an understatement. The outdoors is where I most feel like myself. I love the feeling of the ground beneath my feet, the sun kissing my face, and the wind blowing through my hair. If I am not making memories with my clients, you will find me in my garden, watering my numerous houseplants, spending time with my granddaughter, or embarking on an adventure down a dirt road.

I absolutely love them. - Sierra Sherburn

Bold, Vibrant, Authentic, Adventurous, and Unscripted.

When you book a session with me. These are a few things I would love to do with you. First, I want to get to know you better, so let’s go grab a coffee, tea, lotus, or whatever you fancy. We will talk about you and what your favorite things are, then we will plan the perfect session. Let’s dance in the rain on a hot summer’s day, while you splash in a puddle. I want to capture everything you are feeling at that moment. Let’s travel down a back road to the middle of nowhere, hike up a mountain that overlooks the valley below, the sun casting golden light all around you, a slight breeze blowing through your hair, in that perfect moment, the world stands still just for us to grab the perfect image.

What are you waiting for?

Watercolor painting of mountains with snow caps, a full moon in the sky, pink and orange clouds, and a flock of birds flying.
Let’s go on an adventure.
