"MADDY = GREAT ENERGY & EMOTIONAL LEADERSHIP. What I appreciate most about Maddy is the way she commands the room when the leadership is needed most. Of course she's got the technical experience, but that's a given. What separates the greats from the rest is how they control the chaos during a big shoot. I've had the great gift of working with Maddy on several big shoots over the course of the last few years for different events ranging from big seminars, to small intimate rooms of only 2-3 people. And one this is certain irrespective of the grandeur: Stuff is always going to hit the fan in some unique and un-planned-for kinda way! That's where Maddy always took control of the moving parts 'technically,' then control of the people involved 'emotionally,' and got the train back on track. That is a skill set that you cannot teach. And that's that makes Maddy the best. It seems that everything around her gets lighter and better when she's in the room. Maddy, thank you for that!

"I had the pleasure of working with Madeleine during my tenure at By Referral Only, Inc. She was a genius at bringing marketing to video, and getting the most out of everyone she filmed. Not only that her work sells, people love it. The company had record years in sales when she was behind the camera. Not to mention a work ethic that rivals the best of the best. Give her a project and a deadline, she is unstoppable until its done and done brilliantly. One word sums her up. Amazing!"
- Jay Dunigan, Business Development Coach, By Referral Only, Inc., Carlsbad, CA
“Team Player And Get's It Done Early! Madeleine was the lead of my media team at By Referral Only, Inc. She is professional and reliable, getting things done early is her style, she does what it takes and is a great team player. I continue to use her services with my consulting clients that have photography, video, audio and any editing needs. Shooting good video is one thing - it’s quite another to take this raw footage and with creative editing take rough cut video and turn it into gold. She does it every time.”
- Curt Conant, Vice President of Sales & Marketing, By Referral Only, Inc., Carlsbad, CA
“Madeleine is extraordinary at her craft. She is well credentialed in the area of Video and Television production with experience at the national level including PBS Television. She is also credentialed in Journalism which sets her apart from the production facilities that I had been using prior to Madeleine.”
“Madeleine and I worked together at KPBS Public Television for several years, and I still hire her occasionally as a producer, editor and videographer. She is very passionate about her work, and definitely knows her stuff when it comes to TV and video productions. I think she is one of the few who shoots with the mind of an editor and the thought process of a producer. She is creative, innovative and resourceful, always with an eye on details, budgets and deadlines. A great professional to work with, who simply knows how to do a great job.”
"I have been hiring Madeleine several times over the past few years for digital photo projects. She is a very skilled photographer who is both, an artist with a very creative eye and a professional who knows what she is doing. She provided us with a variety of great shots. Her outstanding work ethics and "let's get the job done" attitude make her an extremely dependable business partner who always provides superb quality work very quickly!"

"I had the pleasure of working closely with Maddy for over two years. Traveling and doing live events is very difficult. Maddy took charge of these events (100-500 people) to make sure they were awesome. This included people Live in the room, and the very difficult LiveStreaming aspect, which was normally 500+ viewers. Back at the office, Maddy was always productive...even seeking out projects that weren't related to her job description. She's well written AND creative, which is sometimes hard to find. As for technical ability, she's worked multiple camera shoots, live and offline. Her post-production work is top-notch, and the final product was always well received with our audience of top Real Estate Agents and Lenders. Count on her for a reliable, quality experience."
- Jeff Robbins, Managing Director of By Referral Only, Inc., Carlsbad, CA
