We’re excited to introduce this month’s featured artist, North Carolina-based photographer Brandy Inkelaar, owner of NicCole Photography. Inspired by her close-knit family and her faith, Brandy was immediately drawn to photographing expecting mothers, which has remained her “sweet spot.”. She loves to capture beautiful moments of unconditional love between moms and their children.

In this issue, we’re also featuring an article from our very own Chief Creative Officer Deanne Mroz, “Mind Matters: How Transforming Your Thoughts Can Better Your Business.” Having photographed families and children for more than a decade, she imparts some of her hard-earned wisdom on mental health in the business of photography. Her article focuses on the importance of having a positive mindset as a business owner and how it can impact both work and personal life.
