Hello!
I’m Mai Tia — Mama to the sweetest baby girl, a Madison, WI-based lifestyle photographer, dog foster, and in-home daycare owner who truly believes the everyday moments are worth remembering.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me caring for little ones, fostering pups, or dreaming about my next trip. Photography has always been my creative outlet. A way to slow down, connect, and preserve moments that pass far too quickly.
My style is vibrant, natural, and story-driven, with a focus on portraits, seniors and graduation, couples, newborns, and small families. I’m drawn to genuine connection, soft movement, and images that feel like you — not stiff or overly posed.
My goal is to give you more than just photos. I want your experience to feel easy, relaxed, and intentional, so you can walk away with images you’ll love for years to come.
Why Petal & Bliss?
I am here for YOU. That's simply it! I bend over backwards so that you can have a seamless experience no matter what you choose. I do all the planning and creative work to take the stress off your shoulders. Not everyone is comfortable in front of the camera and I completely understand that. Hence why I'm usually behind it. Rest assured, this will be as painless as possible even if you are camera shy! I always strive to make this a fun and natural experience because that's when everyone looks their best!
