Cottage Grove Photographer / Getting Published

There are certain times that I will always remember since I started my photography business.  The first thing that I will always remember is the first time someone hired me for photographing their portrait.  The second thing is the first time I got paid for a photo that I took.  And the newest thing is getting published in something.

I was honored this past winter with receiving an award from the City of Cottage Grove for the best photo in a photo competition in the Event category.  I again was honored when the Holiday Train committee called me informing me that they would be featuring my photo on the cover of the 10th anniversary calender of the Holiday Train.  Proceeds for the calender will be going to Friends in Need Food Shelf in St. Paul Park, which benefits Cottage Grove, Grey Cloud Island, Newport and St. Paul Park residents.  You can purchase a calender at local Cub Foods, Caribou, Yo-Jo's, Merchant Bank and other locations.
