About Me
I've had many nicknames over the years. When I was explaining this to a friend he said, “Yo! You have madnames!” In that moment, I became @madnames on Instagram and over the years it has stuck. Now it has become my #1 nickname and my official aka.
It is nice to meet you, Michael. Welcome to Madnames Studio.

BRING YOUR BRAND TO LIFE THROUGH POWERFUL VISUALS
Brand visuals are a powerful tool for sharing your story and values with the world. I understand how visuals are experienced across different digital, web, print, and ad platforms. This knowledge shapes how I create your visuals, ensuring they’re strategically crafted for each medium. With me, you get a truly complete collaborator for your brand.
Portraiture
TELL YOUR STORY & ELEVATE YOUR PRESENCE
Portraits are more than just images; they are timeless reflections of who you are in this moment. Life is full of transitions, and portraits offer a meaningful way to honor those shifts. Whether marking a personal milestone or simply elevating the way you’re seen, a portrait has the power to capture and preserve the essence of where you are now—forever. It’s a beautiful way to reflect on your journey and how far you’ve come.
Capture Your Romantic Story
PROPOSALS, ENGAGMENTS, ELOPEMENTS, WEDDINGS
Love is what makes the world go around. It is an honor to capture authentic and candid expressions of love - proposals, engagements, elopements, and weddings.
These are timeless moments and you need to trust your photographer to be there for you. I will work with you to plan each step of the process to create beautiful photos that you can cherish forever.
