Your photographer

Elyse Madlener

Authentic, creative lifestyle photoshoots for women who want to express themselves in their own unique way

Your family, your dream wedding, your business, your children, or a romantic shoot with your partner. I'll capture it all with pleasure!

Hi, I’m Elyse Madlener, a photographer based on the beautiful island of Bonaire.

I love unorganized structure, adventure, and discovering new places. When something stays the same for too long, I get restless. Yet I also appreciate clarity, control, and overview. This is also reflected in my photography. I'm always looking for different perspectives and new things to learn, but with a solid foundation, an eye for detail, and a love of color and spontaneous moments.

My passion for photography started while traveling. At that time, I was looking for a way to share the beautiful places and people we encountered with others. From the grand, expansive mountain landscapes to the small moments of everyday life.

I have a soft spot for framed views, small details, beautiful light, and sparkling eyes. Whether it's because a child just covered their face in cake or because they made mom laugh out loud, capturing spontaneous moments and the connection between people is what I'm always looking for.

Besides photography and travel, I also love good food and wine! And off course combining all of these!

Interested in learning more about me or working together? Feel free to send me a message!

Testimonials

What my clients say about their experience

Don’t just take our word for it – hear what my satisfied clients have to say about their experience with Elyse Madlener Photography. We are proud of the relationships we build and the trust our clients place in us.

We've done several shoots with Elyse now and are incredibly happy with the results every time. The first time was a bit nerve-wracking (we'd never done a shoot before), but Elyse immediately put us at ease. Everything flows very naturally, and before you know it, she's capturing the most beautiful moments. What we really appreciate is that Elyse is always proactive. Whether you don't have any ideas or have specific requests, she offers examples, creative solutions, and helps you choose locations, styling, and poses. Elyse effortlessly adapts to the atmosphere and circumstances, whether intimate or festive. The result is beautiful photos every time that capture just the right emotion. We're so satisfied that we've already chosen Elyse several times – and will definitely do so again in the future. Highly recommended!
