the girl behind the camera.
HEYYYY! I am Maddie McDaniel and I am so pumped that you’re here!
The Lord has given me a humongous desire to love on His beloved creation, so it’s so cool that He’s led me into this field and is using me to capture the beauty of it all!!
My journey to becoming a photographer was one that had a lot of twists and turns, but I truly wouldn’t trade it for the world.
more yapping.
I grew up taking photos of everything and on anything! Nintendo DSi, iPod nano, my mom’s phone. Home videos, friend photoshoots, and selfies with my dogs. If you want photo proof of any of those lemme know ;)
In those moments I didn’t realize, but there was always a part of me that wanted to celebrate life, no matter how chaotic or mundane.
I always swore that I didn’t want to do photography full-time, and it wasn’t until the Lord led me to the Rocky Mountain School of Photography in Montana that I truly discovered that photography was my thing!
my WHY.
The headline of my business is “Let’s Celebrate Life,” and intentionally so. It’s NOT because you should be fake happy and pretend everything is okay (especially when it’s not)!
It IS because we can be joyful DESPITE the brokenness of this world. In every moment, there is always joy to be found. There is an ever-present Peace, Joy, and Stability through the chaos of this life. And His name is Jesus :)
Jesus changed my life. He saved me from the deepest pit. He gave me a new name. He has brought me near to Him, where we were all created to be. He gave my life purpose and meaning.
I give this business and my life to God, because He gave everything and more to me, JUST BECAUSE HE LOVES ME! And He loves you too :) Click the button down below to learn more!
let’s get to the best friend status.
Here are 5 things that I think are pivotal for you to know about me or you’ll certainly die.
If I didn’t get a cent from being a photographer, I would still choose to be one over and over again :)
99% of my bad days can be fixed by getting a fun drink and a rainbow car wash.
I will choose a hearty breakfast burrito over a luxurious 5-course meal any day.
Sunrises >>>> Sunsets.
Despite my $… camera, I have a deep love for taking pictures on my iPhone camera to savor life’s little moments :)
