You know those photographs that pull at your heart — the ones that make you feel something real, not just perfect smiles and stiff poses? That’s what I aim for with Maddi Lee’s Photography.

This blog is a little peek behind the scenes into my approach, what you can expect when you book me, and a few pro tips to help you feel confident and excited for your session. My goal is simple: photos that feel alive, relaxed, and true to you.

Why my approach is different

✨ No awkward posing – I’ll guide you with prompts that make sense but let real moments unfold naturally.✨ True-to-life editing – I keep colours authentic so your photos feel timeless, not trendy.✨ The hype woman energy – Need veil fluffing, dress fixing, or just someone to make you laugh? I’m there.✨ Local & beyond – Based in Bathurst and the Central West NSW, but ready to travel wherever your story takes us.

What to expect when you book with me

Step	What happens	Why it matters
1. Enquiry & chat	We’ll talk about your vision, vibe, and location ideas.	So I can tailor the shoot for you.
2. Prep & styling	You’ll get a prep guide (outfits, locations, what to bring).	Keeps things stress-free.
3. Shoot day	A relaxed, fun session with prompts, laughter, and movement.	You’ll forget about “posing” and just enjoy yourself.
4. Editing magic	I cull and edit everything with my Maddi-coded style.	You get a gallery that feels cohesive & full.
5. Delivery	Your online gallery is ready to download, share, or print.	So your memories live beyond your phone.

My top 5 tips for a relaxed session

Wear what makes you feel amazing (comfort beats trends every time).
Don’t overthink it – laugh, move, whisper secrets, let me capture the messy in-between.
Bring something sentimental – a blanket, hat, guitar, whatever tells your story.
Hydrate & rest in the days leading up to your shoot. Glowy skin, happy energy.
Trust the process – I’ll handle the direction, you just have to show up as yourself.

Real sessions, real moments

(Insert 2–3 photos with captions, e.g. “Sunset couple session in Sunny Corner Forest — candid love in golden light.”)

I love capturing the little things: the way someone laughs mid-conversation, a stolen glance, kids being cheeky, or the way your hands fit perfectly together. That’s what makes your gallery feel alive.

Final thoughts

Your session should feel relaxed, fun, and true to you. Whether it’s a wedding, family, branding, or boudoir shoot — I’m here to create a gallery that tells your story in full, not just a highlight reel.
