Today we’d like to introduce you to Madi House.
Hi Madi, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
My entire life I have loved capturing memories through photography. I was the kid taking pictures of everything at every event I went to. And this habit of mine only grew with me. I love snapping photos in order to savor moments in time. Since I loved photography, my parents gifted me a camera when I was in high school and I began to take photography classes available to me. Through that, I learned how to use my camera to capture my artistic vision. Others liked my viewpoint, so now people hire me to capture big moments in their lives. I feel so blessed to be able to use my passion and artistic vision to capture priceless memories.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Throughout my life, I have struggled with aspects of mental health. Photography helps me overcome that. Taking photos brings me peace. But it also allows me to express myself in a way that I would not be able to do otherwise. I can speak through my art. Because of this, I think my passion for photography has helped make rough patches of life a smoother road.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I do all sorts of photography. However, my two primary areas are senior portraits and landscape photography. I am most proud of the way my photos have improved over time and represent my personal growth. I think what sets me apart is the way that I use my skills in order to bring God glory. I am a Christian and I believe that even through the aspects of life that are as simple as taking photos, God can be glorified. After all, photos are just images of God’s creation.
Are there any apps, books, podcasts, blogs, or other resources you think our readers should check out?
I love using apps, books, podcasts, and more to help me in many different areas of my life. I love using Instagram to share my photos with the world. It provides an outlet for me to share my art. It also helps me connect with members of the community and potential clients.
In a different sense, I love the app “Magic Hour.” This app helps me know when the best photography lighting will take place. I use it to schedule the best times for photoshoots.
I think that blogs are a great asset. I love to read the blogs of Christian influencers to help encourage me in my faith. I also like to look at photography blogs in order to learn more about my craft and gain some practical skills.
I love using blogs to express myself as well. I have my own blog that I use as a platform to share my thoughts with the world, through both photography and writing. (https://keepgrowin.wordpress.com/)
Podcasts are a newer passion of mine. I listen to all sorts of podcasts, whether they are about my favorite tv show or the best piece of advice different celebrities have received. I think that there is always something to learn, and podcasts can be a great tool in that. I also have a podcast that I created with a friend of mine where we discuss all sorts of aspects of life. It is called JaM: the podcast and can be found through anchor.com. (https://anchor.fm/jam-thepodcast)
