THE FACE BEHIND MAD WADE PHOTOGRAPHY

IT'S ME!!! Madysen, Mad, Mad Wade!

Most people call me Mad, and that's pretty much where Mad Wade Photography came from.

I'm a small-town Iowa girl, born and raised, and the Midwest will always be home to me. Mad Wade Photography started around 2021/2022 when I decided to pick up a camera and see where it would take me. I honestly never imagined it would turn into what it has today.

I'm completely self-taught and have built Mad Wade Photography from the ground up, learning everything as I've gone. Photography has brought me SO much joy, some pretty amazing friendships, and has taught me more than I ever expected. I'm definitely still learning every day, and I don't think that'll ever stop!

When I'm not taking photos, I'm probably working my full-time job, coaching high school softball (which I've been doing since 2022!), or somewhere outside. I LOVE hunting, fishing, going on walks or runs, spending time with my friends and family, and pretty much anything that gets me outdoors. The beauty of the Midwest will always have a special place in my heart, from open fields and backroads to those golden summer evenings.

As much as I love taking photos, the people are hands down my favorite part of photography. I've met so many amazing people along the way, made friendships I never would've had without picking up a camera, and have gotten to be a small part of some really special moments in people's lives.

I truly believe God blessed me with the opportunity to do this, and I'm so thankful for every single person who has supported me, trusted me with their memories, and helped Mad Wade Photography become what it is today. I built this from the ground up, but I definitely wouldn't be where I am without all of you.
