Hello everyone! ✨

It’s been a while since I’ve introduced myself on here, so I figured I’d do that for our new friends and tell you a little bit about my business! It’s always nice to put a face to the name and not be wondering who the crazy lady is that’s driving this bus 😆

I’m Maddy Vinchattle and I’m so happy you’re here following along on this journey with me. I’m 21 years old and I grew up in the Fort Dodge area. Here are some fun things about me:

❀ I’ve had a passion for art and capturing memories since before I graduated high school. I went on and got my photography degree from Iowa Central in 2023. Since then, I’ve been working my tail off to make this business my full time gig. We’re not quite there yet, but I’m so excited for the day that I’m booked and busy 🥰 It’s so fun to reflect back on where I started vs. where I’m at now. You’d be surprised how much can change in such a short time.

❀ I opened a studio with a friend of mine this past February and I’ve loved every second of it. Having my own space to capture memories and grow my business is literally a dream (shoutout to Gunnar B’s Photography & Design 😉)

❀ My family is the MOST important thing to me. I love them with my entire heart and I’d be with them every second of the day if I could. That is why capturing love in all forms (families, couples, and weddings) are some of my favorites!

❀ I’m a huge music ju**ie. I used to be very involved in all things theater and performing. My current favorite artist is Billie Eilish…anyone else with me? I also love playing music during photo sessions to keep the mood light and fun!

❀ I’m OBSESSED with cats…if you didn’t already know. I have a few fur babies of my own and they are my pride and joy (pictures below so you can obsess over their cuteness w/ me)

❀ Ice cream is my guilty pleasure…or really anything with peanut butter and chocolate. And Stella’s Coffee Bar…

❀ Currently, I specialize in bo***ir, weddings, and family sessions, but I love capturing all different things! And always a reminder that I’m a safe space for EVERYONE, no matter what 🌈🫶🏽✨

Hey, hey, hey!

Stop scrolling a minute and let's catch up! It's been a while since I've done a little business "update", so I thought it was time I did so...

Things are still going strong over here...even though I've been a little quiet. My computer decided to take a crap 🙃 BUT...here's what I'm cooking up for the near future.

🎃 Spooky season is only a few months away! I'm putting together a spooky bo***ir marathon. This will take place at the beginning of October. If this is something you would be interested in, keep your eye out on this page and my private bo***ir pages for updates! Coming August 19th!!!!

👩‍🎓 2025 Seniors!!! I really want to get seniors on my calendar, so the first 5 to message me will get a big discount on their session! Do not wait to get your senior pictures done!

🎄It's hard to believe that it's August and the holidays are fast approaching. Christmas is basically here already 😆🎄 My holiday mini sessions were a huge hit last year, so I'm thinking of offering those again as well! My question to you is...would you prefer fall minis or Christmas minis? Comment down below!
