The Artists

It's Nice to Meet You!

Hi! Kathleen and Dave here. We are the artists that make-up Mary Madison Studios.

We’ll start with how we got the name. Kathleen Mary and David Madison. We are a husband and wife team who grew up in the Thousand Islands.  Our adventure began about 12 years ago. We grew up in the same small town of Cape Vincent, NY. We dated  once way back when–it didn’t work out but we managed to stay good friends through the years. A few years ago we re-connected through our love of photography and here we are–happily married and loving every minute of it!

Besides our obvious passion of taking photos we are both lovers of anything food related. We love festivals and we love to travel any chance we get! When we aren’t busy capturing life’s precious moments we are putting blood, sweat and tears into remodeling our entire house from top to bottom (Dave’s the builder, Kathleen’s the designer).

We don’t have any kids (yet) but we do have a fur child named Lou. He’s a pure bred Australian shepherd and we’re pretty sure he’s part human. We love animals!

Enough about us though! We want to meet you! We make it our mission to tell your story by capturing life’s precious moments through images. We love being along for the ride on your wedding day or chasing your little ones through the snow. We love spending time with your sleeping newborns or hiding in the bushes while you pop the question. We truly love what we do and we want you to enjoy the time you spend with us during your session. We promise we’ll try to make you laugh as much as possible (Dave’s a funny guy).

It’s super important to us that we have great chemistry. Contact us! We’d love to meet for coffee, or wine, or whatever you’re into to get to know each other! We look forward to meeting you!

Life is an awfully big adventure …
