A little about me

Welcome to my little corner of the internet - I'm so glad you're here!

When I’m not behind the lens, you can usually find me getting lost in a good romance novel, sipping chai at a local coffee shop, convincing myself I absolutely need another plant, or getting way too competitive during game night with my friends.

My faith keeps me grounded, my family is my safe place, and I’m always down for an adventure — especially if it involves getting a little messy. A spontaneous dip in the lake while still in your dress? Say less.

At the end of the day, I want your experience with me to feel less like a photoshoot and more like hanging out with a friend. We’ll laugh, make a little magic, and create photographs that feel like you — honest, nostalgic, and completely worth holding onto.

So nice to mee tyou!

We are in love with our photos! Maggie is wonderful! She put us at ease with suggestions and pointers on location, clothing, and so much more. She communicated clear expectations and everything was delivered on time. The shoot itself was such a fun experience and we are in LOVE with our photos. We couldn’t be more thankful that we chose Magdalena Rose Photography!!

Love notes from my clients

The moment I saw Maggie’s work I knew she was the one, and let me tell you, she far exceeded my expectations. I knew she was going to be amazing, without a doubt, she took my breath away. Every moment we talked about, she captured, and then some. She checked in with me constantly, we face timed, spoke on the phone, she had thorough questionnaires to fill out, created our whole photography timeline. She was fun to be around, made us feel extremely comfortable. I can’t say enough amazing things about her!

Love notes from my clients

Maggie exceeded all expectations! I didn’t know if we were going to have to figure out poses for ourselves or what but that was not the case. She guided us through the entire shoot, and made it such a fun experience. I feel like she not only captured my relationship perfectly but my bond with my doggo! Will continue working with her
