My First Publication!

Along with being a photographer I also work full-time at Cornell College in Mt. Vernon, IA in the Alumni and College Advancement Office.  This past summer I was given the opportunity to take pictures for the Honor Roll of Donors that our office publishes every year.  The theme for this year's Honor Roll is Endurance.  The image that was chosen to represent the theme of Endurance was the Gingko tree on campus that has been a part of Cornell's campus since the college was built over 125 years ago.  I was so excited and honored that my co-workers had asked me to take pictures for the cover.  Below is how the cover turned out.  Benson and Hepker Design did a great job using my photo to create the cover design.

To my surprise the picture I took of the Gingko leaves was also used to create this year's President's Christmas Card.  Beth in our design office did a great job turning the leaves golden and adding a touch of snow.  Last weekend the Christmas card design won an Addy award!  I was so excited when Beth told me the good news.

Have a wonderful week!

Just for fun: Winter Wonderland

I'm going to be honest...I'm REALLY ready for winter to be over.  I'm ready for sunshine and warm weather.  I'm ready to run outside, and I'm ready to wear skirts and dresses.  Despite my feelings of dislike for winter I have to admit that I do have moments when I look around and think to myself, "Wow it is beautiful outside,"  I had one of those moments on Saturday morning.  I woke up to a beautiful winter wonderland; the trees were all frosted white from the fog and it was beautiful.  I took the opportunity to head out into the country and take some pictures.  Here are some my favorite shots from that morning.

Have a great week!
