It’s that time of year again! This year there will be 38 girls in the annual Junior Miss Pageant. I enjoy taking their portraits and designing the promotional poster every year. The posters just got in today from the printer, and there will be LOTS of them hung up all over the valley this next week. Here’s a sample of the poster. Their theme this year is Breakfast at Tiffany’s. I love that movie
If you’re a local and want to go, you’ll need to get tickets from one of the contestants. With this many girls, it will probably sell out before the nights of the pageant. It should be an entertaining two nights!

I love Steve Martin and think he’s hilarious, but this is a side of him I never knew existed. Amazing!
I got this sweet and fun email today from Christina, one of my favorite clients. It made my day so I just had to share:
“Cindy,
I just wanted to let you know of another sighting! A friend of ours was looking for airline tickets on cheaptickets.com and up popped a photo of Dustin and I. So, I checked it out myself and sure enough there it was…the pictures rotate through slowly or you can refresh the browser on that page and eventually you will come to an ad with the photo of Dustin and I in the grass where I am laughing (one of my fav’s).
I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your photography. I often find myself at your website showing people how amazing you are, and just browsing all your inspirational artwork! We are truly thankful to you for capturing such precious moments in our lives. I hope to contact you soon for another family photo-session! The children are growing up so quickly that it is time to capture a new phase! I will finally graduate school in May so our busy lives should calm down a bit…maybe we can get together early this summer!
Congrats on all of your accomplishments lately…you truly have such an inspiring gift!
Christina and family”
