Katie Madlom, Previous owner of Madlom's Fine Arts & Photography decided to rename her business to create Cattail Creek Photography. The outdoors in general is her first love and if she could she would be living in a tent all year round. With photography, from wide angle views to the close ups, nature to portraits her creative flare blends together to meet her clients individual needs. For all por

traits; babies, seniors and families alike, she makes the session as fun and comfortable as possible. Traveling to sites or even working in your home to create a carefree environment where you can relax and feel at ease. Her goal is to create your desired look and style. Where you feel proud to hang it boldly on your walls. Working hard to create that long lasting image you desire and envision providing timeless memories for a lifetime.

I was so excited and honored that a couple whom I have been following the love story unfold through the years…. wanted me to do their wedding and engagement.

We sadly had to reschedule due to rain but that was a blessing in disguise.
The day we were finally able, was perfect. Colors were beautiful and the sun was shining, but not nearly as bright as their love. I cannot get over how in love these two are. They are not only beautiful and easy to work with but they were fun and adorable and down right goofy. The recipe for perfect long lasting love and friendship.

Congrats on your engagement and the life long journey you are on, hand in hand.
And Thank you Amanda and Nick for letting me get a glimpse of your world of love and joy!

I love when clients of mine refer me. Word of mouth is my biggest advertisement.
Usually I get to know my seniors ahead of time but this one was a last minute and so I had to wing it…

But he was so awesome, he just knew how to pose and went along with all things I or my husband and even his mom suggested.

He was such an easy going young man and a pleasure to work with.
I had a blast getting to know him a bit during the session.

Congrats to your senior year!

What do you do when it is a month of celebrations....
My birthday (7th), my husbands birthday (20th), OUR Anniversary (which is today the 14th), my parents Anniversary (21st), My sister in laws birthday (23rd), My daughters friends birthday (11th), and a few other friends birthdays and anniversaries....

YOU BUY A BIG CAKE...🎂
SO I decided to splurge on a cake (may become an annual thing....) from Sweet Jules. Who I have been following for a while. Her cakes just look so beautiful. So I had to have one.

So what does a food photographer wannabe do with this cake....
Take photos of it of course....before we can eat it.

Here is PART 1 of my cake photos.
PART 2 is when we cut into this said cake this week. ...One I change the color of the leaves to match the cheese cloth color....cuz why not.

My husband cant wait to dig in!
But he will have to wait just a tad longer... ;)

This session was the bomb. The lighting, the location and of course this senior.
I love when I can photograph siblings over the years. And this family is one of my favorites ever. From day one we just got along…

Happy Senior year Dalton!

Announcement:
I am heading out to Dallas Texas this week. A very last minute trip for an event and potential partnership for an added passion of mine. That info and announcement will come later when the time is right.

But I get to go learn new things (outside of Photo/video) while doing my passion of photo and video. It is a wonderful win win. And I get to meet people I admire and have been talking to, learning from and growing with for about a year!

Since my daughter has a desire to move to Texas I felt like maybe we should make it a family trip. So we are all leaving tomorrow and heading back around the 8th maybe the 9th at the latest.

SO excited for this opportunity and experiences.

I am working hard on all sessions and will be working hard once I get back to finish many session up.

But if you need something ASAP let me know by TODAY!

Just reach out in TEXT or EMAIL….NOT here on Facebook…
wont be on here much.

I can try and work on getting things to you today and tomorrow. …….With in reason.

What a beautiful day and gorgeous location for a wedding.
Fun loving group of people, with a lot of heart.
The whole day was just beautifully perfect.
Special thanks to my husband and my friend and CO-tographer Lynne Elliott with Images by J. Lynne for assisting that day!

We are off camping till Sunday.
Back to work Monday.
So I am not ignoring. Just plan is to be as unplugged as possible.

However, we did start off with some frustration…. An hour into the drive. I hope that this is not how our week will go. 🙏🏻

Have a great rest of the week.

Kiddo and I wanted a little mom and daughter time to talk senior photos coming up so we went on a little trip to get some coffee and treats at Fleet Farm lot today with Grahl Grounds. Been wanting to try them for a while now. So glad we did.

I have to say I am so thrilled by the quality of the coffee and even more so their friendly service. Wonderful experience all around.

Looking forward to next time!

I love when I have return clients, especially when its one of your besties. Where she lets you take photos of Pajamas for a client, headshots for showcasing, engagement session And the wedding next year….

But yesterday I was excited to take her sons senior session.

I have watched Gage grow up off and on since he was about 6. So it was fun to be able to take these and see the goofy, fun loving, kind young man that he is today.

Thanks for the laughs, cant wait to do more in the studio later this year!

My Collage buddy whom I adore calls me up and says her daughter is a senior and needs photos.

But how can this be. I feel we just graduated from collage a few years ago.

But since then we had both gotten married and had beautiful girls and well life had lots of changes we shall say… but through it all we have stay in touch best we could over the years.

This mama did wonderful… look at this beautiful young lady. So sweet and kinda and so grown up. It was such an honor to get to capture her!!!

Love ya ladies! ♥📸♥

One of my new favorite genres of photography is Branding. As you can get some many different types of businesses, styles and concepts so its always fun to learn and grow and build. It can be of products, food or services. Showcasing your skills and offerings. Putting you in your element and capturing you doing what you love doing to share to the world, your story!

Jessica Williams From Whimsical Celebrations LLC was so amazing to work with. She had fun ideas and concepts that we brought to life. She loves to celebrate life and helps you plan your celebrations and events. And knows how to have fun doing so. She pays attention details and your needs...

If you have a business and need content and brand building, lets go have a coffee and chat ideas. See what we could come up with for you!

Also, come join our group at Network Nexus and learn how you can showcase your businesses and meet like minded entrepreneurs.

I love when people are willing to let you play with ideas..
He was a champ and so patient letting me play with new lighting tools that go on my lights. I was so thrilled how they turned out.

Plus we got to utilize some outside “studio" locations at my house again.

He has such a cool look and a kind demeanor.

When one of your favorite people from collage calls you up and says she is getting married ….. and wants you to be the photographer…. YOU BEAM with joy!

She was wanting an engagement session at a local (Madison area) sunflower farm. So glad she did because all I can say is WOW!!!! I loved how these all turned out.

She also wanted to go to a Lake Kegonsa State Park Friends Group. That had many amazing places and spots to photograph in.

I cannot get over this session. A daughter of a church member of ours, which I had the honor of photographing. And what a stunning young lady she is!

We had a great time working with the beautiful landscapes of the Horicon Marsh. Despite the mean bugs that loved her. But she dealt with them like a champ. And then we ended back at our home front to get a few more with some wheat looking areas on my property. I dont think there is one photo I dont like. She just carries herself with grace and light!

A little sneak peek of some behind the scenes preparations of the branding session for Whimsical Celebrations LLC coming up shortly.

So thrilled Jessica Williams is willing to play with fun concepts and ideas. That we came up with together or she thought of!! I love trying new things and taking on challenges. Helps me grow as a photographer.

This is going to be one styled shoot worth “celebrating”….. 😏🥳🤓

When a gal knows what she wants, we book another longer session or 2….

We initially enjoyed her first session at her home and around Oshkosh and Omro… and I loved those as well.

But we added a swim session and then one by a covered bridge that I Love going to. And they turned out so perfect. The day was spot on for the outside ones and she worked hard to get those swim shots down, as timing is everything. She was a great sport, tried things I wanted and suggested her own inspiration. It was a fun afternoon of creativity!

It was a hot and humid day and we were all drenched at the end of this session….

But I had such an amazing time working with Traveling Taps helping them build their brand visually. Morgan Zink had some great ideas and concepts and we ‘sweatily' made them happen. And we killed it! I love how these all turned out! She even made a delicious treat for all of us at the end…. ask her about it, you may want it at your next event!

I also had the honor of working along side of an amazing photographer, located in Minnesota area (but does travel) Kalyn Wolf Photography and you can find at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089072088618&mibextid=LQQJ4d , https://kalynwolfphotography.com and https://www.instagram.com/kalynwolfphotography who was the host and was doing a styled wedding session there at the venue. She set up the event and day and was fantastic to work with!

Now lets talk about this venue (which I have not yet shown to much of. The Castle Vineyard. If you are able… go stay there for a few days. Its beautiful and has the most amazing story behind it! Could be fun family event or even a collaboration like we did. Could be a business gettaway or solo. Its beautiful.

When you have some ladies that want to celebrate themselves…. you say YES!

One of my main passions is to make women feel good on the inside and out. And Emily Schwartz has the same passion but with nutrition and health.

I had so much fun not only meeting and working with these ladies, but I got to do so in my new studio. I had a few different sets and options up to work with…and each lady let me work my magic.

I cant wait to do this again down the road. If interested, contact Emily for more info on how to join and be apart of this amazing movement….Glow Getter team!
