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.

When was the last time you updated your LinkedIn profile photo? If it’s been a while (or if you’re still using that cropped group photo from 2017), it might be time for a refresh!

Your LinkedIn profile is often the first impression you make in the professional world. A high-quality, up-to-date photo shows that you’re approachable, confident, and serious about your personal brand.

✔️ First Impressions Count – People are more likely to engage with a profile that has a professional, polished image.
✔️ It Builds Trust – A clear, current photo helps potential clients, employers, and collaborators feel like they know you.
✔️ Consistency is Key – If you’re active on multiple platforms, your profile picture should align with your brand image.
✔️ Your Career Evolves—So Should Your Photo – You’ve grown in your field; let your photo reflect your confidence and expertise!

A professional headshot can make all the difference in how you’re perceived online. If you are ready to refresh your LinkedIn profile with a photo that represents the best version of YOU, let’s chat!
