So I was perusing some older issues of photography magazines that I subscribe to and completely forgot about my daughter’s national modeling debut this past winter (well, not exactly). Much to my surprise, I opened the January issue of Rangefinder Magazine to see Sydney gracing the right-hand side (first row, center) of the 2-page ad spread by Simply Color Lab, a professional, Ohio-based photo lab. With the launch or their new custom die-cut press products line, Simply Color Lab ran a contest last summer asking photographers to submit fun and unique die-cut card designs. So among a few others, I submitted the flower-shaped card featuring my daughter, now 4, and low-and-behold, I actually won the contest! Now I normally think that photography contests (a lot of them anyway) are kind of silly, but the prize for this one was pretty cool… free press products for life! And on top of that, I got the fun surprise of opening one of my favorite magazines to see sweet Sydney published in a huge ad. How fun! Stay tuned, I’ll be posting some more of our custom card designs, just one of the services we provide as a full-service boutique studio.
