Dear Photographer Magazine feature in the Black and White issue

This summer one of my photographs was picked for a collection of 20 childhood images in Dear Photographer Magazine's black-and-white photography issue – so exciting! The featured artists are absolutely amazing and having my picture showcased among theirs is priceless.

Here's the rest of the 20 featured images:

There really is nothing like seeing my photograph in print, whether that's up on a client's wall or in a photography magazine. The exciting part about a magazine feature is that I get to have a printed copy of the photograph without someone wondering why I would keep around prints of someone else's family – that would be a bit weird. Or would it?

It wouldn't be weird for me, as this is my own work; I took this photograph, and have been able to add it to my ever-growing portfolio.

I'm very excited about this photograph in particular, because not only did the awesome people over at the magazine connect with my not-so-traditional kid "portrait", but I love that the family picked this picture for their photobook as well.

This is the second time this year that I was featured in the amazing Dear Photographer Magazine – but the Details issue sold out before I found out that it had been published. I'm really bummed I missed the opportunity to have the magazine in print, but now I know to be vigilant when it comes to printed features.
