pretty in pink

Just in case you’ve missed the announcements on Paperie’s Facebook and Twitter accounts… I recently turned in my last (June 2013) column at Professional Photographer Magazine! Starting with the July 2013 issue, I will no longer be appearing there as a Contributing Editor / freelance writer.

If you normally write me at my ppa.com e-mail address, please change your address books to “robyn AT paperieboutique DOT com” – after this Friday, April 19th, my ppa.com account will no longer be active!

I started writing at Professional Photographer in June 2010, and writing for their Web Exclusives as well in June 2011. It’s been an amazing run! I cannot thank my former Director, Cameron Bishopp Davis (now Editor in Chief for CLICK Magazine by our sponsor Clickin Moms), enough for giving me my start in June 2010, and for all of the amazing opportunities that have followed. The June 2013 issue will mark three years in every issue from 6/10 to 6/13 – and that’s an accomplishment I am very proud of!

But now … it’s time to start on my new future at 40, and I can’t wait! – Robyn

I’ve taken three of my most popular magazine columns – “client gift ideas for photographers” – and put them all together on one Pinterest board!

I also have a new pinboard with my “stylish camera bag reviews“, and another board full of all “my product reviews” and photography posted on the ppa.com pinboards.

And of course there’s also Paperie’s “packaging, presentation, and organization” pinboard! We’d love to have you follow us there!
