Disabled creator empowering my creativity to tell your story.
Adopted from Hong Kong to America, I am a writer, photographer, and storyteller based in Dallas TX. My experience as a Chinese adoptee with cerebral palsy propels my storytelling and my journey with photography changed my life. With a deep love of story and collaborative spirit, I am dedicated to raising authentic portrayal of disabilities in Hollywood and beyond.
Hi! I’m Maddy Ullman - Storyteller
“Madylin is such a natural photographer. She is one of the most kind, creative, easy-to-get-along with photographers that I have met. She really knows how to capture the right moment that it somehow radiates in the picture! I love the beautiful pictures she took of me. I love the feelings that come back to me when I see them! What an amazing eye she has. I would absolutely recommend to anyone to have a photoshoot with Madylin! Thank you, Madylin.”

“Maddy is a wonderful photographer, whom I thoroughly enjoy working with. She is skilled with a camera and is also encouraging and thus able to help her clients relax and feel comfortable. I have had the pleasure of working with Maddy on multiple occasions and can personally attest to her talents. In fact, the first time I ever worked with Maddy, I was nervous. But within a few minutes, she was calling out directions and reassurances and I felt completely at ease. Maddy also makes each photoshoot fun, creative, and collaborative. Every session I’ve done with her, she shares her vision and seeks to incorporate mine as well. So each shoot is full of moments that I desire, moments that she desires, and moments that surprise us both.”

“Maddy’s photos speak for themselves. This was my first time taking headshots and Maddy immediately made me feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. Not only is she a talented photographer, she’s also fun to work with, which made the session really enjoyable. I am looking forward to working with her again!”
