Okay… so for my “photog” readers who regulary read the fabulous blog over at Design Aglow… you may have noticed something familiar in their post today.  Their newest issue [Issue 8: The Essential Issue] should be available for purchase very soon, and yep… you guessed it… the studio of YOURS TRULY is being featured. I can hardly even wrap my head around this honor. Even though I did the interview with them several months ago, I haven’t mentioned it on here before; mostly because I thought that it must have just been a dream that they wanted to feature ME…. that I wouldn’t be able to believe that it was really true until I saw it in the publication for myself!

For those of you who don’t have the slightest clue what I’m talking about, Design Aglow is an online resource for photographers that provides inspiration on all things having to do with photography and design. They publish a quarterly online magazine jam-packed with information and inspiration. Some of the names they have featured in previous articles include Tara Whitney, Audrey Woulard, Sarah Petty, Carrie Sandoval, Barb Uil [Jinky],Brianna Graham, Laura Novak, Jesh De Rox, Nicole Van, Jeff and Julia Woods and more. This issue will also feature devine photographer Jasmine Star. These are the “major-leaguers” of the photography world people! So… to be counted among them is just … well…  there are not words to describe what this means to me. I will post more photos of the article [a 17-pager!!!] when it becomes available! To see their entire article collection, click here.

I created this collage for one of my clients who had photos done this summer. I just got it back from the lab and I was so excited with how it turned out~~ I had to show it to all of you. We had it printed in a 20×20 and mounted on a standout…it is going to look so cute in her bedroom!

for any amount! Who would appreciate this gift?

…..a new mom who would cherish some precious photos of her newborn

…..a teen or tween who would love to play model for the day and have some cool pics for her room and to share with friends

……a busy mom who doesn’t mind letting me take the kids off her hands for an hour to capture the everyday moments of childhood

…..a grandma who has always wanted a photo of all of her grandchildren playing together

Sound like anybody on your list?

Since I have had so many requests for holiday cards…[and I told them all I wasn't offering them this year], I have had a change of heart and decided to look into some designs. So…for all of you who wanted them, and for those who are gonna want them…I am excited to unveil my 2007 selections. There is not an option to order these online, so you will have to email or call me to place your order. For those of you who have already placed your orders, but would like to still order cards…you still can! Prices are $30.00 for each set of 25 cards.
