Northern Nevada Portrait Photographer
Your Story,
Artfully Told.
Timeless, story-driven portrait photography
rooted in connection, beautiful light, and the wild landscapes of Northern Nevada.
PHOTOGRAPHS FOR THE SEASONS THAT MATTER
The wind moving through her dress. The way your child still reaches for your hand. The laughter that belongs only to the two of you. The quiet anticipation of becoming a mother. The person your senior is becoming.
At Madralynn Haye Photography, every session is created with intention—through thoughtful direction, honest connection, beautiful light, and the open landscapes of Northern Nevada.
Your photographs become more than a record of a moment.
More than how it looked.
How it felt.
They become a place to return.
Because sometimes the smallest things
become the pieces we remember most.
Drawn to the moments that ask us to feel.
I’m Madralynn, the photographer behind Madralynn Haye Photography—an award-winning and multi-published portrait artist based in Northern Nevada.
My work is rooted in connection, beautiful light, and the quiet, unscripted moments that often become the ones we remember most. Through thoughtful direction and an intuitive approach, I create photographs that feel honest, artful, and deeply personal.
For me, photography has never been only about preserving how a season of life looked. It is about holding onto how it felt.

THE CLIENT CLOSET
Thoughtfully Curated for the Art of Your Story
Beautiful photographs begin long before the camera is lifted.
The Madralynn Haye Photography Client Closet is a thoughtfully curated collection of select gowns and wardrobe pieces chosen for their timeless silhouettes, beautiful movement, soft textures, and the way they come alive in front of the camera.
Created to bring ease, beauty, and intention to your portrait experience, each piece is selected to complement the open landscapes, golden light, and authentic storytelling that define the Madralynn Haye Photography experience.
Madralynn Haye is by far the most sweetest and kindest photographer I have ever been around. She knew I was in a rush to get pictures done and back to be able to order my graduation announcements, and she got them back to me in the blink of an eye, and they turned out beautiful. I am so in love with them! I highly recommend her for anyone who needs or wants pictures; she’s the best out there! Thank you once again! I am so in love with my pictures! Cannot wait to book you for future pictures! - Mia Hernandez
Words of Love
Madralynn was such a treat to work with. She let me do my own thing while at the same time giving excellent direction to ensure the best outcome! - Patrick Mink
I absolutely loved my experience with Madralynn! My husband and I have only done 1 other photo shoot with someone else and the experience wasn't great they were there with the camera but I was lost on a vision since ive never had a photoshoot experience before but when I did the photo shoot with madralynn it changed my whole thought on photo shoots i felt more comfortable to want to have more photos done in the future she was super hands on and helpful with direction and she had a vision we trusted it and we are definitely grateful for the experience. - Samantha Seibert
