"So when my catalog arrives, I can say, I kinda sorta know the photog! "

LOL, yes, Marta! I had not thought of that.

Contrats Julie

I have seen you work for quite some time now. Your work is very worthy of magazine covers. I remember when I got my first cover, it is very exciting. I don't know about you, but after I recieved the issue with my first cover on it, I sat there and stared at it for about 10 minutes. After that moment past all I could think about is how I could get my second cover. lol. Again great work, and I'm sure this is only the start of cover shots for you.

James, There was an email sent out from EPN asking for submissions and I submitted that one. It was the one chosen. I have GOT to get better about getting releases for my work. I was able to get one for this shot, but, I need to be better!

Yeah, I was so excited I am probably going to frame and yes, I want more covers

Pretty cool! Buy a zillion copies, of course!

Hey Julie,

You are bringing up an important issue. Any time you photograph humans, you absolutely need a release. Some folks on the forum have made the 2nd side of their business card a release. It seems much less daunting then the model release I currently use. It is funny, for a wedding, it is part of my contract. Generally for my pet portrait work, there is no contract and I feel more uncomfortable presenting a release. That is the reason why I never show the humans in the shoots that I do during a pet portrait sitting. Something to break myself out of.
