WOOP WOOP!!!! UMMM so I just did my first video blog. YIKES!!! Might be kinda scary. So, sorry a head of time. AND I talk fast. Sorry again. Like I said in the video this was a really fun, fresh new project. It’s unlike anything I’ve done or worked on before. The magazine is Jasmine’s story…. kind of like a book in a magazine type of format. I learned so much reading this. I read it so many times in this process that I probably could recite the whole shabang to you. Jasmine shares personal stories, heartbreaking situations, embarrassing moments, and it’s JAM PACKED with really practical workflow advice, business tips, and ideas to consider and learn from. EVERY PAGE of the 160 pages is designed for your viewing pleasure. haha. I documented the design process through out the project, so I will be sharing that soon!! Enjoy.
Check out Jasmine’s post about it. and WATCH THE WICKED video commercial below.
Below are just a couple of my favorite spreads as a little preview.

You have definitely got something unique & beautiful going on & I Love it! I’m searching through ShowIt’s designers to build my website & I find myself comparing everyone else’s work to yours. I think I know what that means for me. I need to contact you. I love that with every click I make, I keep running into awesome, successful people in photography that love the Lord & say so! Thanks for that

I totally forgot to mention EXPOSED. Way to go, there. You & Jasmine make a terrific team. Both the magazine & site are like nothing I’ve ever seen. You are both very inspiring people.
