So Proud of my PIXEL CHICK FRIENDS!!

I took the following entry from my Good Friend Julie Monacello's blog talking about some thing very exciting for two of my pixel chick friends !!! Alli and Julie's images are being featured on the cover !!!! Both are such amazing talents and I am so blessed to have my amazing photographer girl friends... These women are not only so skilled with their state of the art equipment but they are kind, loving, helpful, loyal good friends... I LOVE my Pixel Chicks and I am sooooo proud to be one of them :) We talk everyday online . We Critique eachothers work... We learn new skills.. We sharpen eachother...and support eachother thru the everyday struggle of life.. We know whose kids had a good day at school and who had an awesome session that week.. We cover a ton of ground and I truly feel God placed them all in my life for a reason. Alli, Julie, Hayley,Laura, Candy,Sherry, Ali,Megan, Denise .... I LOVE YOU !!! I am proud of all of you ! I need to give you all more of my blog time.. This was so special I had to share it ! Enjoy what Julie had to say below..



Many of you know that this spring a few of my images were selected for publication in Jim Miotke's new book. We were also told that in publishing, nothing is certain until the book hits the shelves. So, I'd have to wait until September to see what images actually made the cut.

Yesterday, on a whim, I checked amazon. It's still not published, but they're taking pre-orders. When the cover image popped up, I dropped my jaw. There is my image, "Nummy". The cutest baby with his fingers in his mouth, right there! I couldn't even speak. I was shaking with excitement. So much so that I was worried that I'd have shaky hands for my photo session in an hour!

It was double excitement because the photo to the right of mine was created by my good friend Alli Gaulin! I was so excited that I could hardly even find my phone, and dial, to call her. Unfortunately, I got her voicemail, and I couldn't even speak to leave a message.

Of all the tens of thousands of images that the editors and Jim see at betterphoto.com, what are the odds that both of our images make the cover? Amazing.
