About Madeline Strum Studios

Following talented people as they create and share their goods with the world might be my favorite style of storytelling. You poured your heart into this design? You need people to love this mix? I'm on the edge of my seat.

Way back, I graduated from journalism school. My original style was to never interfere. Unobtrusive and candid. After working with marketing teams, I'll not only create a safe space, but I'll also make sure you look as good as possible while we're shooting.

You don't know what to do in front of the camera? No problem.

Spending the day with a subject to capture them naturally at work creates some beautiful images--but when I need to nail down 24 headshots in 24 minutes, I can get my subjects to quickly reflect back confidence and humor.

Madeline's photos for magazines and newsletters, cast photo for The Awake poster, LG signage to promote the tie-in between the new phone and fashion, headshot boards for her children's elementary school's production of 101 Dalmatians.

Sometimes photography is not the solution, so I have illustrated for packaging, editorial, and advertising. The Maxim Party at Super Bowl XLVI was physically my biggest job, but my cats for B.F.F. and Cats in the Kitchen is the longest running. I’m kind of amazed I can walk into PetCo and see something I drew years ago.

Madeline's work has been used to illustrate editorial content and packaging design as well as theme a party. Costumes and sets inside the party were based on the invitation and red carpet wall's illustrations

I bring a dynamic perspective to every project from everyday life in schools to high production video shoots.

Let's collaborate to elevate your brand's visual storytelling!
