Professional Photographer Magazine - spotlight, featured article August 2008 issue

Pinch me, words can not describe how elated and honored I am to have a feature in such a major publication. I mean not just national but world wide. What an accolade this is. Just to mention the premise of the article is about me, how I started and where I am today in my 4th year of business. I do however want to mention, I honestly believe this career path was in *my* cards, the path has been paved open and easy for me BUT don’t let it fool you, this is extremely hard but rewarding work. Onto the glory - lil snippets. I am by no means a product photographer so I tried my best and may retake a few to permanently put on my website. I can’t wait to share this moment one day with my grandkids and so on. It would be kind of cool to have a custom memory box made with my signage from my former studio in Old Town Alexandria on King Street, the magazine and a lot of little things along his journey, including some pictures of my clients over the years to frame. I truly love what I do and hope this feeling will stay indefinitely.

One last thing, I received a few copies of the magazine itself and some tear sheets. By request I was asked to submit quite a large amount of images so therefore I was not sure which were actually selected (there is one more sibling shot on the last page missing here). For those who were featured here, I will send you the entire article with the image featured as your own personal keepsake. :) I was so unsure of how these would print in CYMK as I know how they look on my screen and more importantly printed by my pro lab. Some of the copies here have some sort of funky magenta color cast on a few of the pictures, some are just like I thought they should print.
