About

Hey! I'm Maddy

A photographer based in Jacksonville, NC — raised in Eastern North Carolina between Jacksonville and Swansboro.

Maddy, photographer of Brady and Bloom Photography

I was raised in Eastern North Carolina between Jacksonville and Swansboro, where life moves a little slower and the moments that matter most are often the simple ones. Growing up near the coast taught me to appreciate genuine connection, natural beauty, and the importance of preserving memories through photography.

I've always been inspired by the coastal light, quiet backroads, salty air, and the people who make this community feel like home! Photography became my way of capturing the authentic moments and stories that deserve to be remembered.

I would love nothing more than to be the one to do that for you.

Coastal light

Soft mornings, golden evenings, and the hush of the shore — the light that shaped how I see every session.

Genuine connection

I'm drawn to real laughter, quiet glances, and the in-between moments that say more than a posed smile ever could.

Memories kept

Photographs that never change — even as the people in them grow. That's the gift I hope to leave with every gallery.
