My goal isn't to let your unique personality shine through during your session and create images that feel truly interactive and alive. This is what I strive for!

I love using candid prompts that help you forget the camera is even there—encouraging you to focus on the moment, your partner, or your family. This way, your session feels natural, genuine, and entirely you. I’m often snapping away during those in-between moments, capturing the magic you don’t even realize is happening!

In addition to candid moments, I offer creative posing ideas, guidance for the best lighting, and stylistic suggestions to enhance your photos even more. I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable sharing your vision and preferences so we can collaborate to bring them to life. Let’s work together to craft a session that tells your story and captures memories you'll treasure forever!

1. Your photography journey starts with a simple hello! Whether you prefer to reach out via Instagram or email, I’m here and ready to chat. I’ll respond as quickly as possible because I know how exciting planning your session can be! From there, we’ll dive into the details—your schedule, vision, and ideal locations—to make your session perfectly tailored to you. Have questions? Don’t hesitate to ask; I’m happy to guide you through every step of the process. Let’s create something beautiful together!

2. I’ve made booking your photography session simple and stress-free! You can easily secure your session directly through my website using the provided booking links. Once you click, you’ll find everything you need in one place—a quick questionnaire to share your vision and preferences, a contract to ensure we’re all set, and an invoice for a 35% non-refundable retainer to lock in your date and time. This should take no longer than 2 minutes! That way, everything is tailored to your needs, and your spot is reserved just for you!

3. In the days leading up to your session, I’ll stay in touch to ensure everything is perfectly planned. I’ll send you all the final details, including exact directions for parking, the location, and any last-minute tips to help you feel prepared and excited. The remaining balance for your session will be due on the day we meet. Please note that editing will begin once the final payment has been received. I can’t wait to capture your story—let’s make this a day to remember!

What if I need to reschedule?

Retainer fees are good for up to 2 reschedules! We will find a better day that works for us. No worries at all. You will still have to pay your final payment the day before your session. 

How and When do we receive our photos?

I send a personal downloadable gallery to your email address. For Weddings and Elopements it is typically a 6-8 weeks turn around. My other session offerings are 2-4 weeks turn around.

Where are you based? Do you travel domestically or internationally?

I am based in Orange County, Southern California! If your session requires traveling, this may inquire fees.

Do you offer Mini Sessions?

Yes I do! I only offer them seasonally with pre-selected locations. If you're ever curious as to when, make sure to follow me on Instagram for updates! @madilynnsaigephoto

I don't know how to pose! Do you help with posing?

Absolutely! Don't worry, I give prompts and guidance throughout the session to help capture your story. I will always be there to help you look and feel your best
