Sponsor Profile and Giveaway: Maddie E. Photography



In the summer I've interviewed a lot of great friends with photography as
a growing career. One friend in particular, Maddie E. was just coming
to. We read the infancy of her humble beginnings and reading her blog and looking at her photos, she has grown more and more from this past interview.

I love her photos more and more lately. They are fun, whimsy and experimental.



So what has Maddie been up to since we last read of her?
In the past few months, I've been busier than ever! I've had consistent shoots, been editing like crazy, and have had actual referrals! I can see my little business growing, and I couldn't be more excited. The blog world has been amazing to me, I've had so many people encourage me on this little journey to becoming a photographer, and I've made so many wonderful friends. Someday, I would love to travel the United States (and the rest of the world of course!) just scheduling shoots and making friends along the way . . . that's my dream. So, maybe someday, Maddie E. Photography will be visiting a city near you! :)
Also, I'm hoping to get an Etsy shop up in the next little while, when things slow down in the winter. I am working on some fun, unique posters and prints to sell . . . I'm really excited about it!
One of the many attributes I admire of Maddie is her finding inspiration in everything. Her emails are just as cheerful as her pics.
She designed a poster 16" X 24", printed on 9.1mil premium archival photographic paper, and is giving away to the readers as a thank you.

It's a great reminder that we can find inspiration everywhere and Polaroids are a great inspiration.

Rules to Enter:
Visit Maddie E. and say hello! This is open to international readers as well.
When will the giveaway end?
I will choose a winner via random.org on Sunday evening. Winner will be announced next week.
Who is eligible?
All forms of life, you need not have a blog to have a chance to win. Just leave an email to be contacted.
This is open internationally as well.

She's got rad rad glasses in the first photo and i kinda love anyone who doodles on their photos. I have to second Sam and say she's got really clean crisp images... something i don't see too often nowadays.

I love that one post of her dad on her blog.

Those photos are so cool! I love how, no matter how long you've been taking photos, you can always find another photography style that you love. Her use of light is so cute!

And yes, religion usually equals = blech. I've always said that people are the easiest way to screw up a religion. :)

(Also, late response to your comment is late, but I may have obtained the remasters in a not entirely store-bought way, if you catch my drift. But I bought Rock Band, so dammit I've done my part!)
