   madelynocanaphotography, established in 2017, began as a hobby and has morphed into a business. I deliver professional photography services that include events, portrait, travel, etc. I specialize in family, couple, and portrait photography specifically. With expertise in using Lightroom and creating custom presets, I ensure each photo is unique and timeless. While balancing my photography business with academic and other pursuits, I remain dedicated to providing clients with cherished memories. Capturing moments that last forever is my passion, and I am committed to continuing this endeavor for years to come. I’ve been told by clients that I create a safe environment where they feel comfortable in front of the camera, which is not always the case. I pride myself in the session being positive before, during, and after, as client satisfaction is everything. I am communicative and get images out in a timely fashion, sending proofs beforehand to ensure they like how they are looking. I’ve had the opportunity to take photographs for Kindness Goes Viral, a non profit organization established in 2020 that donated all proceeds to COVID relief. Additionally, I’ve taken the executive board photographs for UCSB Alpha Chi Omega in 2023, and UCSB Panhellenic in 2023 and 2024. These photos are displayed on their respective websites and instagram pages.
