portrait photographer

Hello there! My name is Gracie (Madeleine Grace legally, hence the brand name) and I can't wait to capture some sweet memories with you!

I grew up in Benicia, CA and went to Cal Poly, SLO - Go Mustangs! I am married to my high school sweetheart, Kyle, and together we have Baby Miller and our pup, Lottie Belle. After we got married, we moved to the West Shore of Lake Tahoe. I teach first grade and Kyle teaches seventh. We love all things lake life, especially hanging at our local beach in Sugar Pine.

I have always loved portrait photography and got my first camera in middle school - hello BFF mirror selfies, with flash of course! In college, I got my first "professional" camera and took all my friends' senior portraits, and that soon became my little side business in SLO. Since then, I have fallen in love with family and couple photography. I am so lucky that families continue to trust me to capture their special memories. Thank you for choosing me!
