My Photo on the Cover of Midwestern Gothic

I am thrilled to share with you that one of my images was chosen to be on the cover of Midwestern Gothic’s summer issue.  If you are not familiar with Midwestern Gothic, it is a quarterly print journal dedicated to featuring work about or inspired by the Midwest, by writers who live or have lived there.

I heard about Midwestern Gothic through my friend Rayme Waters.  Rayme is talented writer and recently published her debut novel The Angels’ Share (a fantastic book if you are looking for a summer read).

Anyway, she mentioned to me that Midwestern Gothic was looking for photo submissions for their website that capture the essence of the Midwest.  Being a Midwesterner (I hail from Illinois), I was excited to look through my photos and submit a few entries.

Needless to say, I was beyond excited to be notified that my image from when I did the RAGBRAI (a 450 bike ride across Iowa) with my dad and sister was chosen for their Summer Issue (on sale in  early July).   To see the photo and learn about the story behind the image please pop on over to Midwestern Gothic’s site.

I can’t wait to get my hard copy of this issue and to share it with my dad.  And I am so grateful to Midwestern Gothic for giving me this opportunity to share a photo which means so much to me.

I should be packing for our move…

But instead, I’m here having a blast at my latest branding shoot!

Swapping cardboard boxes for creativity feels like the right choice, don’t you think?

Packing can wait—this is way more fun.

I have big news to share……

We are moving at the end of the month! Eek! I’ve been quiet here on social media because the last month I have been busy with Goodwill runs, packing and planning! It is a lot of work to pack up a house you’ve lived in for nearly 21 years as a family of six! 😅

But we are trading the hustle and bustle of Silicon Valley for country living in wine country. 🍷🍇

I’ll still be working with clients on branding photo shoots and social media management but it may look a little different.

My husband and I are super excited for this new chapter in our life. And our kids are enthusiastic too! I have a dear friend who has been with me along this journey and while I’m a little nervous about the move (but mostly excited), I keep hearing her words whispered in my ear….”if not now, then when?”

So here we go!!! 🍇🍷🍇🍷

✨ Follow Friday Spotlight! ✨

I finally had the chance to take headshots for the lovely Gloria Webb-Williams, founder of Ancient Stones Nurturing Naturals. (@nurturing2bnatural).🌿

Gloria is the heart and soul behind her beautiful brand that’s all about natural, mineral makeup. Her makeup enhances skin tone, giving a more youthful glow. The texture is super fine, so you can build it up for more coverage without it ever feeling heavy or cakey. Just smooth, even color that lets your natural beauty shine through. 🙌

It was such a treat to photograph her—she’s warm, inspiring, and absolutely glowing (inside and out 💫).

So please give her a follow and let her know Kristina sent you. 😊
