Premier Issue of Enchanting Photography Available Now!

I am SO excited to finally announce the release the premier issue of 
Enchanting Photography.

It has been my dream project for a while and yes, I will mention again that I am excited to say that the first issue is finally here. 

Thanks to all the wonderful photographers who joined me in turning this dream to reality. 


Note from the editor:

"A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed." 
― Ansel Adams

Photographers don't just see the world around them.  They feel the emotions of nature, humans and animals, scenes or moments in depth. They walk in this world, taking it all in and want to capture feelings or reproduce a dream. 

"Photography is an art of observation. It has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them."
- Elliott Erwitt

We may not have been to Japan in the springtime, but it is a stunning sight to see and Corrine Thiessen shares her amazing trip with us. Shari Delgado-Nicscevic stumbled upon a farm during a foggy sunrise and she was able to capture that breathtaking view. Brides are glowing on the best day of their lives and images capture their happiness through smiles and radiant faces.  Jennifer Hayslip envisioned a glamorous tea party while Kira Sanoja brings fairy tales to life.

With so many beautiful dreams, captured memories and observations, it would be a shame if their visions are not shared. The image is almost lost. So that is why I felt I needed to launch my new project and help share these images and put these special moments out there for the rest of the world to see. 

So I hope you enjoy flipping through this magazine and pause for a moment to savor these moments in time.  They may be in the past, but we get to enjoy them for a long time to come.

Welcome to Enchanting Photography magazine blog

I welcome you to my new publication and blog

“A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.”

My vision for Enchanting Photography magazine


Many of us are lucky to be in a certain place or moment that many others would dream to be in.

I envision publishing a collection of soft or colorful images sharing beautiful moments or places with the readers accompanied by a short journal entry or inspiring quotes. Images would be the emphasis of this publication. Categories to be included are Nature, Travel, Landscape and Architecture.

As far as staged or themed photo sessions it would need to be something more then just a portrait. These shoots should portray a certain artistic vision, theme or story. 

And as we advance in technology, photography has gone through stages, and instant shots have become popular for various reasons. So I also wish to highlight a photographer’s gallery of instant shots in each issue.

I hope for this publication to be a coffee table book with a collection of mesmerizing images, allowing readers to visit places and scenes right from their cozy couch at home.
