Welcome to Madeloni Photography!

Hi I'm Marita Madeloni, a lifestyle portrait photographer based in the San Francisco Bay Area.  I love photography for the art form itself, the perspective it gives me on my life and most of all, the way it brings amazing people into my life.  I've been looking at my life through a lens since my sophomore year in high school and now I am blessed to call photography my career.  Over the years I've explored many styles of photography and I've realized what really works for me and how I love to shoot! I shoot primarily with natural light and I supplement my work with some fill flash.  I also work exclusively on outside locations or in my client's homes.  I feel that working with people in a more natural setting brings out more of their personality and makes each session unique.  My focus is on photographing babies and children and I find that there is no better way than to photograph them in a place where they feel comfortable and can have fun!

The Road Less Traveled…. Another Shot From the Vault

I was just looking through some old images and came accross this one from Ireland about two and half years ago.  I put some spooky/antique touches on it and I think it looks a little creepy… but kind of cool.bray_path

Christmas in Ireland

So we finally made it back to The Emerald Isle to see Glenn’s family after two and a half years of living here together.  It was so great to see everyone and spend Christmas in a properly cold winter climate!  I have to admit that it was a bit of a challenge to be driving on the left side of the road again.  Also, the challenge went to the next level as we slid around on icy roads.  We got around even if it meant driving 20 mph!  We pretty much went from meal to meal, that was the main focus of the trip aside from visiting with family.  We even got a bit of shopping and visiting with friends while we were there.  It is really hard to have family living so far away, but it’s so great when we get to spend time together…

Aaahhh, Little Alex….

Davis Family Photography | The Ortiz-Foin Famiy in the Freezing Cold!

Yria, Jeremy and Naima braved the freezing cold with me the other day to get these photos!  We wanted the barn and we went to the barn and I think it was worth it!  Naima is becoming such a little lady, it’s hard to believe that the baby I photographed in March is the same person!davisfamilyphotography_01davisfamilyphotography_02davisfamilyphotography_03davisfamilyphotography_04davisfamilyphotography_05davisfamilyphotography_06davisfamilyphotography_07davisfamilyphotography_08davisfamilyphotography_09davisfamilyphotography_10

Sacramento Baby Photographer | The Wallace Family Welcome’s Jackson!

I had the pleasure of photographing April and Andrew with their beautiful new son Jackson, in their home.  April and I were brought together only recently by a mutual friend and when we reached out to shake hands we realized that we knew each other from high school!  It’s funny how things come full circle and how people are brough into our lives….. Jackson is such an alert baby and strong, he was even holding up his head!  I hope to be there for more milestones in Jackson’s life!

San Francisco Family Portraiture | The Dublin Family in The Redwoods!

It was awesome to finally meet The Dublins after hearing so much good stuff about them from my friends Tarika & Barrett.  Erica & Jim recently welcomed their son into the world, what a cute little baby chunk!  He was soooo not in a posing mood; but with a little cajoling, tickling and kissing he managed to get the job done!sanfranciscofamilyportraiture_01sanfranciscofamilyportraiture_02sanfranciscofamilyportraiture_03sanfranciscofamilyportraiture_04sanfranciscofamilyportraiture_05sanfranciscofamilyportraiture_06sanfranciscofamilyportraiture_07sanfranciscofamilyportraiture_08sanfranciscofamilyportraiture_09
