Professional Photographer Magazine

Wow! It's been a whirlwind couple of weeks. So many exciting things happening and my head is spinning. Last week I returned from Phoenix and Imaging USA, where I was so honored to receive three national awards, two for my photography and one for business. I think I was most excited to receive the AN-NE Award for a marketing campaign I created for my business. I have never been recognized for my business practices before and although I have managed my business for nearly 12 years now, I am continually working to improve my marketing and business practices. So, winning this award was really thrilling for me! Moreover, the award lead to a news feature in the January issue of Professional Photographer Magazine. Exciting!! Thank you PPA !!!

Senior of the Week--Abby Rhodes

I am so excited to post this week's senior Abby Rhodes from South Charleston High School. I met Abby many years ago when she and my daughter, Katherine became friends at Arts Camp. Abby is a beautiful, fun-loving, energetic and intelligent young woman and I am so glad to have had the pleasure of getting to know her. An interesting fact about Abby is that she and my daughter share the same birthday, September 18.

Happy Holidays!!!

Well, it's a little late . . . but here is our Christmas card. I have been so busy: first finishing everyone's portraits for Christmas and then editing images and proofing 16 hours a day. 5,000 images and 1,0000 previews later and . . . . I am now in the airport on my way to Las Vegas for the SPA (senior portrait artists) convention. Then, I am off to Phoenix and Imaging USA where I will be receiving the AN-NE award. Also, I will be exhibiting in the photoDUDS booth. I'm still kinda addled but hopefully will calm down in a bout an hour or so. . . I hope all of my necessities made it into my suitcase. . . if so it would be the first time EVER!! I'm out . . . the plane is here.
