The birth of my children in the late 1990’s gave life to a new talent. I received a Canon Rebel SLR from my aunt. Those days were lean, so for years many of my Christmas presents were film that came with processing. In 2005 I bought in the digital photography realm. For the next two years I took many classes on photography and photo editing. Due to the demand to turn the hobby into a growing business, Madchen Studios opened it’s doors in early February 2007.

In 2010 Madchen Studios was able to open a studio in the heart of Medicine Hat’s downtown district. It was during this time that I became a nationally accredited photographer with the Professional Photographers of Canada. For 6 years Madchen Studios served the community of Southern Alberta with Photography. Madchen Media was born during this time as the need for design services grew larger.
