élise & madelyn: Where Everyday Moments Blossom into Creativity

At élise & madelyn, we believe that the beauty of life lies in its small, everyday moments—those fleeting instances that, when cherished, become the memories we hold dear. Our story began with one such moment: a lemon-themed birthday party that was more than just an event; it was a celebration of joy, creativity, and the love that binds a family together.

As a mother and a wedding photographer, I’ve always been captivated by the power of details—the subtle, often overlooked elements that tell the most profound stories. Inspired by my daughters, Élise and Madelyn, I set out to create a brand that would bring this attention to detail to the world of stationery. I wanted to design products that are not only functional but also serve as a canvas for personal expression, helping people turn the ordinary into something extraordinary.

élise & madelyn was born from a desire to blend simplicity with elegance, offering a collection of notebooks, planners, and organization items that inspire creativity and bring a touch of beauty to your daily routine. Our designs are minimalist yet refined, echoing the delicate balance between form and function. Each piece is thoughtfully crafted, with the hope that it will become a cherished part of your life, helping you capture your thoughts, dreams, and aspirations.

But élise & madelyn is more than just a stationery brand. It’s a celebration of the little moments that make life meaningful—a reminder that even in the busiest of days, there’s always time to pause, reflect, and create. Whether you're jotting down ideas, planning your week, or simply doodling in the margins, our products are here to support you on your journey.

As we prepare to launch our first collection, we invite you to join us in this new adventure. Let’s embrace the everyday moments, cherish the memories we create, and find joy in the simple act of putting pen to paper.

Welcome to élise & madelyn, where your story begins.
