We got 2 copies of the brochure today. It's so cool to see our babies in something professional like this!
There's a poster on the back of the brochure and I need to stitch together the six scans it took to get the whole thing (I miss the bigger scanner we used to have!).
The inside:
The back:
Kim, that is way to cool! Do you have many brochures? I'd love to have one. That is so cool! I am so happy for you.
They know great photos when they see them,and how to use them,very classy,Congrats!!
Zowie! Tickled pink here! Again, bigtime Congrats!
This is a great new adventure! What a great company to be involved with also! (And I see on the back page they gave you the credit for the pics!) You're off and running now!!!!
So great!!!
(If you take a pic of me...think they might put it on a bag of horse food?) :>)
Kim, this is so exciting! To see it in print has to be awesome for you. Will you be bringing these Famous Models to the KYRU? Hope to see them in person!
GW what a wonderful brochure, your photos look beautiful. I agree with Rootdoctor - very classy. Congratulations!!
Shoe, you are too, too funny.
Kimberly, how delightful! You must be bursting with pride!
I'm a very happy shutterbug and doggie mommy, yes! I stopped by the vet's office today and showed the receptionists. They were tickled, too, and wanted a copy to put up. The company only sent two brochures, though! I wish I had more, too!
They did a beautiful job with your masterpieces...they really look great. Congratulations.
Congratulation!
The whole story is wonderful.... and your dogs, well from anoother dog lover, words cannot say it all !
Happy dreams, GF !
Kimberely...How great to see your work getting the attention it deserves...Congratulations...(Scout sends congrats too!) Jo
Thanks, you guys! I'm as pleased as punch. Howie told me he won't get so impatient now when I ask him to pull over and let me take pictures of stuff. ;)
LOL GW Hold on to your old bed and if he complains about pulling over threaten to make him sleep on it!
Oh my gosh! That looks sooooo wonderful! Thanks for showing it.
Will they show those pics/brochere on their website?
Congrats, to You and the models!
Kimberley, it's wonderful! I'm so delighted with what God is doing in your life right now. It's inspirational to be sure.
YOU GO GOD!!! and you go girl!
gw; just now goin over all that's happened!! WOW! I'm so glad for you!! You and I are kinda havin the same experience, both of us gettin published!! Your's in pictures and mine in words!! God is smilin on us!
Yes, that's awesome about your friend's book and your getting to do his forward. How awesome!
Just as awesome as what you've accomplished!! How long have ya been at it, takin beautiful fotos that is?
Oh, gosh, I've been a shutter bug since high school. I never really developed skills much until I got a digital camera and was able to just play and learn without worrying about film and developing costs. We bought our first digital camera, an Olympus C-2040z, in 2001. I sold it and got an Olympus C-2100uz last summer.
I used to do a lot of drawing, sculpture and music, but all that kind of went by the wayside once I discovered computers in 1994 or so.
I was ruing that loss of hands-on art in my life last night, and Howie reminded me that I've just changed mediums more than anything. I hadn't thought of it that way, but he's got a good point.
Photography is so satisfying to me because I can actually DO what it is that I see in my head. With drawing and sculpture, I had very definite ideas of what I wanted, but my skills rarely produced what I envisioned. With photography, I see instant results which are very close to what I hope for. Plus, with digital darkrooms, there is a freedom to tweak and make images really come to life.
It's such an absolute JOY to me! When I'm out taking pictures, I am in my own little world. Time flies by, hunger is forgotten until I realize my hands get shaky and I finally realize I'd better eat. And to think that maybe I could make a living, or at least spending money, doing something I love this much? Man, I sure hope so!
I am impressed! May I brag that I know a celebrity, a famous photographer?
If you can do for people what you do for these four-legged guys, you can make more than spending money. My DD and her friends have spent thousands for portraits with a certain touch. Last Christmas, we had a portrait made of me, Granddarling, DD and SIL, and afterward we went home and SIL snapped off a couple of shots of us "all dressed up". He didn't spend a lot of time or have any special lighting or props, but I like his results better than the famous and expensive professional we had just paid a king's ransom to shoot us.
I am a little envious, of course. But I blame it on my camera, not my lack of talent.
GW, I would phone or e-mail Natura (when you can get back into your program) and ask them to send you more brochures. I think that they might have intended to do so in the first place, but something got mixed up in interoffice communication. Natura probably has hundreds or thousands of brochures printed at a time, and I'm sure that they could spare some for the photographer who makes their brochures such a success (it would be good karma, LOL)!
Wow Kim, How exciting for you!! The pictures are beautiful and deserving of this credit. Wouldn't it be wonderful to make a living or some of it this way??!! Congratulations!
gw; sculpture and music too?? Both of which I have a hankerin for also! What kind(s) of music? Please say Bluegrass is on yer playlist!'
I took Basic Studio Sculpting last semester, would ya like to see the sculpture that got me an A?
Love the brochure!! That is quite a feather in your cap..but then you have the talent as well as beautiful models.
Hey, TC, yes we want to see the sculpture...waiting.
Do y'all reckon it'd be okay if I posted a foto of it before gettin "permission" from gardenwife? I mean after all, this is her thread and sometimes I find myself actin like a hog on others threads!
GW: That brochere is so awesome. You had better frame it and hang it over your couch. It can remind your dogs to pose for more.LOL..Since you took your other copy of the brochere to your vets. You could tell that to the company as free advertising and they would problably send you all you wanted to put around town as advertisement.
GW, love the brochures, they are sophistcated looking.
I haven't taken the chance to congratulate you on this from the beginning..so...CONGRATULATIONS!!! This is so totally awesome. I want a brochure too! Tell the company you want more for all your friends LOL...Beautiful dogs! So can I get your autograph now so I can say I knew you when???? LOL
The coupons arrived today, along with the addendum to the model release I need to sign and send back.
I finally took a picture of the poster on the back of the brochure. It's more clear than it looks here, just hard to photograph an unfolded poster from a distance and have it come out very crisp! Higgins checked it out for me...

You must be estactic to have your work printed. This makes you and your family celebs! Now I can honestly say I know somebody "who is somebody" Great Job!!!
Higgins is just critiquing the company's handling of his mom's excellent picture. You remember that I once said that we had a kennel and showed dogs all over the country when I was growing up? Well, one of the things that I've always thought was a cool profession was the folks that took the promotional shots of the show dogs. And there's a definite profession there. They are often used for advertising stud service. Maybe you should put a portfolio together and get your butt down to the next Columbus dog show and advertise your talents. You're good and you love the dogs. I've seen photographers who have tried this and the dogs just hated their attitude and responded accordingly. ------ I just spent 15 minutes searching for the professional shot of my miniature poodle, Cheltenham's Henry VIII (can you guess what era and what music, lol?). No luck. I hate when that happens. But such shots are not hard to find. Just check out some of the current dog magazines out there. I think you could have a fun career, Kimberley. Oh, and we paid dearly for good shots of the dogs. And cat breeders surely use the same types of shots, no?

What a great idea Stellapathic!
Hmmmmm, that is a great idea. By the way, Aimee, did you call Natura Pet Products and request brochures? I got an e-mail today in reply to some questions I had about the model release addendum, and Paul said this:
I am so glad to hear so much enthusiasm. We have already had a call from a friend of yours requesting some brochures. The call stood out because Karma has not reach the store shelves yet. I hope this interest motivates everyone to give Karma a try.
He also said "your posters and additional brochures are on their way to you". Cool beans!
gw; how may I go about gettin me one of those brochures??
They look GREAT GW Congrats again!!
