On January 1, 2011, I joined a dear friend in a personal project. We both signed up to be part of an online community of people who made the commitment to write at least 750 words every day. I didn't know what the heck I was getting into, but I did it…and for 31 days straight, I sat and wrote. About anything. What came out was simply my thoughts, memories, and outlines of how I started my business. And this wasn't the stuff I'd already written or shared online…this was stuff I swept under the rug. Until I had a chance to write it all out.

30,000 words later, I knew I started something…now the question was whether I wanted to finish it. In February, with the encouragement of some dear friends (more of those details coming soon), I continued writing. And writing. Well, one thing led to another…which led to some crazy ideas…and then crazy ideas turned into a reality.

It is with great excitement I announce the publication of EXPOSED…

If you're still wondering what, exactly, this is…it's a 165-page magazine that focuses on the first two years of my business. It highlights the professional aspects of becoming a photographer (everything from learning to shoot manually to posing tips), as well as personal struggles of starting a business (everything from being betrayed by allies to being accused of copying someone else's work).

If you'd like to be one of the first to order a limited issue of EXPOSED, you can do so by CLICKING HERE. Regardless if a single magazine is read, I will know that I put my heart and soul into a personal project and I couldn't be prouder of the way my team rallied behind me to make this dream a reality.

Here's to crazy ideas…and making them happen.
