My Romantic Country Magazine Feature


The magazine is out, and to say I'm thrilled
would be a bit of an understatement!


I am fortunate enough to have 11 of my photos featured
in the Summer 2011 issue of
Romantic Country Magazine,
on newsstands now!


Back in January, I headed to Burton, Texas to do a top-secret photo shoot
for none other than RC Editor, the Fabulous Fifi O'Neill.

I was lucky enough to be invited to photograph
the beautiful properties belonging to
Linda and Ludmil Marcov of Willow Nest,
and I spent two days snapping away at
both their glorious B&B and their main house.

And now I am SO pleased
to be sharing it with all of you!


The story is titled "The Feminine Mystique"
and it's a six-page spread!




Seeing your name in a byline like this and in the editorial credits
is a bit surreal, to put it mildly.
And to have my name immediately after Fifi's Number One photog Mark Lohman is
REALLY surreal!!!




And from my own files,
here are a few of the original images...













In the days ahead, I'll be slipping in and sharing some pics from this shoot with you
which didn't make the magazine....after all, I shot around 700!!!

This is a bit of a bittersweet occasion, as this issue marks Fifi's
last issue as Editor of Romantic Country.

But I am so incredibly proud and humbled to share this issue with her,
and I know that new Editor Mary Forsell will do a wonderful job.
I've mailed back and forth with her a bit lately, and she is just a lovely gal.

Thank you to Fifi O'Neill, the Marcov's, and my buddy Carol Spinski 
for helping make a dream come true!


Taking a few days off now,
have a beautiful weekend!

I couldn’t help but smile at your give-away title …
For on the 16th of this month I am happy to say we will celebrate 40 years of romance …
I still feel like that young girl on that spring day, still hopeful and still madly in love.

Congratulations on the dreamy article in this issue of Romantic Country magazine.
