The Story Behind It All


I've always thought of photography as a way of expressing my creative vision. The journey of hearing YOUR story, creating YOUR memories, and using MY passion to make it happen is what Spatika Madhava Photography is all about. I've never been one to do anything "by the book" which is why I'm willing to get creative with you.

Spatika [spuh·tee·kuh]

I'm the twenty-something-year-old photographer who's ready to turn some of the biggest moments of your life into memories. If you're about to step into the scary world of adulting after graduating from college, I'm your girl (#gradphotos). If you're feeling ready to pop the question and get down on one knee, I'm there and ready to third wheel. Even if you're forced to take photos with your family because it's that time of the year and you have to send out cards, you know who to call. Currently, I cover the San Diego and Southern California area but I'm always growing and ready for a new challenge.

More than anything, I want you to be able to focus on the importance of the present moment and let me take care of turning it into a memory. Your comfort and satisfaction is my priority and together we'll make sure that happens.

I'm a Dog Lover.

While you're reading this there's a 9/10 chance that there's a dog sitting on my lap. I've had dogs almost my entire life and I don't know what I would do without them. If you're wondering if you can bring your pets to your session, the answer will always be yes.

This is my Side Hustle.

Believe it or not, I work a full-time job at a Marketing agency. When I'm not behind the camera I'm finding ways to be an entrepreneur. As you probably know by now I'm also a part-time photographer trying to get you to book your next session with me.

I'm in love with Friends.

Don't get me wrong I've watched the office and everything, but I'm a Friends fan all the way. It's the perfect show to watch while you eat, relax, work, EVERYTHING! If you disagree I don't think we can work together...just kidding. Maybe. I'll think about it.

“Spatika - your professionalism during our photoshoot was astounding. You left me with nothing to complain about because you certainly captured the love my family has for each other! After the shoot, we were so excited to get the photos and were nervous about how they may turn out. Not only did you deliver one of the fastest turnover times, but you also shot some of the best pictures of us, and we honestly had nothing to worry about.”
