It was always a dream of mine to have a cover on this magazine and I can remember dreaming about this in the early part of my career. I have read every page for years and looked up to the photographers in the magazine each month. It is a magazine that is distributed internationally but it is only offered to professional photographers. I have learned so much from this magazine and this month they did a feature on how I changed from only a black & white photographer to how I started to incorporate color, texture and layers into our brand and offerings to our clients.

I also have to say how proud I am that the AMAZINGLY beautiful little girl is my only niece. She came to stay with us last summer and I ‘stole’ her one day to try out some ideas. We had a blast together and she is shocked to see herself on a magazine. :)

On the image itself, I used a hand painted texture to give it more of a painting feeling and I just love it! I hope you enjoy this image as much as I do…

Here is a collage of the title of the article and a little picture of it…

Cheers to Dreams and having them come true! Have a great day!

You might also recognize our lovely model in the pictures going from great to fabulous…sweet Jessica! (Let me tell you how much she loved me TRYING to get her to have a double chin!!!).

Do you part your hair for the best looking you? So many people don’t and we cover how to part your hair correctly to give more symmetry to your face. If you are still unsure after watching this segment, just let me know and the next time I see you, I would be more than happy to help you!

It also was a special trip because Kim was honored to be able to speak at one of the main platform talks.   She really got in there and spoke from the heart about not being afraid to really follow your dreams and to be all that you can be.  It was an inspiring and fun presentation full of information for professional and aspiring photographers from all over the world.  It was a huge honor and compliment to be asked to give such a presentation and to be able to share some of the heart of what we do.  We hope we inspired a few people out there to fear less and dream more…

Here is a little video showing Kim’s view from her platform presentation (yes…she is a dork!) and a few fun pictures of us having a blast in New Orleans… :)

This wonderful family travels from Oklahoma at least once a year, if not more, to come and see us.  This is always such an honor that they, along with their adorable kiddos, make this trek.  One of my favorite things about them is that we have really gotten to know each other over the years.  Trust has been built and lots of laughter has been had.  It wouldn’t be the holiday season without them…

Oh my, I can not believe they are already 7 and 3 years old!  My heart just goes pitter pat, pitter pat everytime I see these two smiling faces.  The missing tooth, the cowlick, the chubby little arms, the hair that can not be tamed (and blonde!?!), but most of all, the smiles that go all the way through them.  These are the things that I see when I look at this image.  I don’t see if the light is just perfect or if I nailed all the technical aspects of the shot.  It is always amazing for me to be reminded on a personal level how my clients must feel.  I am so grateful when I get an artful image that will remind me of all those special things about my kiddos that I will never ever want to forget… tear.
