{spry magazine}

i was contacted by spry magazine a few months ago to see if i would be interested in doing a photoshoot for the november cover. i honestly thought it was a joke at first. haha. i'm just a small town photographer doing what i love and was so excited to be given this chance. i was told about sonja, the women i would be photographing, and i was thrilled to jump at this opportunity.
the photo session was such a fun time! we even had 2 adorable puppies and sonja's dog join us!
i was able to see the layout a few weeks ago,
but when i saw it in the paper today i was so excited!
spry magazine is distributed in the newspapers nationwide.
i was told they print 9.2 million copies...eek!!!
here is a copy of the magazine and i'm so happy to share it.
{there is a spelling error on the photo credit-- it has shannon holman, but i promise, it's me :) }





so, a HUGE thank you to spry for giving me this opportunity. i loved every second of it.
thank you also to sonja--an amazing woman, jesi at salon jazlin who did the hair and to the girls at beauty bar who did the makeup.
