A Note from Dennis Fraise<br />

Greetings to everyone,<br />

To quote the Grateful Dead; “What a long strange trip<br />

it’s been” and I can’t think <strong>of</strong> a better group <strong>of</strong> people to<br />

have been on the trip with than the great members <strong>of</strong> the<br />

<strong>Pr<strong>of</strong>essional</strong> <strong>Photographers</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Iowa</strong> .<br />

I’d like to start by thanking Toni for a great year <strong>of</strong><br />

leadership and friendship . To the entire board, a job well<br />

done as we close the books on another highly successful<br />

year for the PPI . A very special thank you to our Executive Director Chris who is the glue<br />

that holds everything together .<br />

Most <strong>of</strong> all our success is a tribute to you the members <strong>of</strong> the PPI . Our spirit <strong>of</strong><br />

friendship, cooperation, fun and our can do attitude has placed the PPI at the forefront<br />

<strong>of</strong> state associations . At a time many associations are struggling we are thriving .<br />

Despite the economic downturn the <strong>Pr<strong>of</strong>essional</strong> <strong>Photographers</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Iowa</strong> are in perhaps<br />

the best financial shape in our history . We have worked diligently over the past few years<br />

to cut expenses, hold membership cost and increase member benefits .<br />

If you have not read Who Moved My Cheese by Spencer Johnson I suggest you get a<br />

copy today . The only thing we can be certain <strong>of</strong> in our industry is more change . Today’s<br />

PPI is a nimble organization not afraid to make changes and try new things .<br />

Our new logo and website are examples <strong>of</strong> some <strong>of</strong> the recent changes we’ve<br />

undertaken to keep our association fresh . You can look for more changes in the future as<br />

we continue to grow and adapt to our every changing industry .<br />

The very best thing you can do is become involved in your association . You’ll find<br />

volunteering an incredibly worthwhile endeavor and make a whole new set <strong>of</strong> wonderful<br />

friends .<br />

I can promise you that we will have fun this year . So work hard and don’t forget to<br />

take time for what’s important in life, family and friends . Make plans now to attend the<br />

Fall Seminar November 1st and 2nd our featured speakers will be Kirk Voclain and John<br />

Hartman .<br />

I’m excited to be your president (and a little nervous) but I have a great group <strong>of</strong> past<br />

presidents and board members to help guide the way . Remember most <strong>of</strong> all this is your<br />

association and working together we can continue our success . Don’t hesitate to contact<br />

me if you have an idea, problem or question I’d love to hear from you .<br />

Best wishes,<br />

Dennis Fraise<br />

Meet Some <strong>of</strong> Our Members<br />

“Wedding Photographer Weds Wedding Planner” was the headline when Paul<br />

and Nicole Kestel tied the knot on December 31, 2003 . Paul and Nicole met<br />

at their church college group while Paul was studying photography at Hawkeye<br />

Community College . Paul started training Nicole on the basics <strong>of</strong> photography .<br />

Paul enjoyed his position as a Digital Media Specialist at McKenna Pro Lab in<br />

Waterloo, IA . Nicole was a Honeymoon Specialist at a local travel agency as well<br />

as the Wedding Coordinator at their church . The couple enjoyed photographing<br />

part-time for family and friends . It wasn’t long before other couples heard about the<br />

couple and requested them to photograph their special day drawn by the artistic<br />

quality <strong>of</strong> their work and the couple’s personality . As Nicole learned more about photography, Paul noticed she had<br />

a creative eye as well and made Nicole his main assistant . The couple went full time with their photography studio,<br />

Catchlight Imaging in Waterloo, IA in January <strong>of</strong> 2008 . The Philosophy <strong>of</strong> Catchlight Imaging is that photography<br />

should be simple, fun, & artistic and our work should bring glory to God . This means bringing out the unique God<br />

given personality <strong>of</strong> an individual . Our style <strong>of</strong> photography is very current and illustrative . Their first full-time year,<br />

they photographed 27 weddings, as well as many babies, children, families, and seniors . The couple has enjoyed<br />

posting photos from theie pr<strong>of</strong>ession and personal life on both their website www .mycatchlightimaging .com and<br />

blog www .catchlightimaging .blogspot .com . They also enjoy being a member <strong>of</strong> WPPI and PPI and attending<br />

conferences to get to know other photographers, print competition, and learn new things . Paul and Nicole make<br />

a great team in all areas <strong>of</strong> their life including photography, serving at their church, in their marriage, and in being<br />

parents . Paul and Nicole Kestel enjoy spending time with their son, Kolby age 4 and daughter, Bailey age 2 . Kolby<br />

and Bailey already say they want to become photographers like daddy and mommy when they grow up . They are<br />

<strong>of</strong>ten caught in the studio with their bright orange Vtech Digital Camera posing and photographing one another .<br />

Practice makes perfect, right!<br />

I always knew even as a little girl that I wanted to be a photographer . I always had<br />

a camera, capturing vacations with my family and high school life for yearbook . I was<br />

so excited for the opportunity to attend Hawkeye College in Waterloo and I graduated<br />

in 2003 with my majors emphasizing portraiture and photojournalism . I worked as a<br />

staff photographer for the Waterloo Courier for two years afterwards before I decided<br />

to move back home to Burlington and start up my own studio with a non traditional<br />

approach to photography .<br />

Using my background and passion in photojournalism, I began my career mainly<br />

shooting weddings and LOVED it, and still do! I worked out <strong>of</strong> my home for two years<br />

before my husband and I renovated on old machine shop into an upscale studio . We<br />

worked for a year renovating and tailoring the studio to our growing needs . We opened<br />

the studio in July <strong>of</strong> 2006 and we have been growing ever since .<br />

Now our studio has two wonderful employees, Patsy and Jaime . Patsy handles<br />

customer relations and sales and Jaime is our talented graphic artist . We feel truly<br />

blessed to have each other to work with, especially since finding out the most difficult<br />

part <strong>of</strong> running a business is finding great employees and managing their daily<br />

activities .<br />

Today our studio photographs babies and children, seniors, families and weddings .<br />

We are known for our documentary wedding style and lifestyle portraiture when it comes to capturing the essence<br />

<strong>of</strong> our children and families .<br />

It has always been my dream to be a photographer and what an incredible blessing for this to be my lifetime career<br />

and what an honor to get to know so many wonderful people and capture such special, intimate moments in their<br />

lives .<br />

We, as board <strong>of</strong> directors, received an email from Helen Yancy, PEC Chairperson, as to the re-districting <strong>of</strong> the<br />

PPA Competition Districts . As <strong>of</strong> 2011 we will be re-districted as the map below indicates . There are many<br />

details to work out as to the print competitions themselves in each district . None <strong>of</strong> that information is<br />

available at this time . As we get new and more information from PEC and the North Central District, we will<br />

certainly pass it along to you, our members .<br />

For 2010, we will be districted with Wisconsin . Which is a decision that was made this early spring between<br />

<strong>Iowa</strong> and Wisconsin boards . This<br />

districting was also approved by<br />

PEC just weeks before this new<br />

re-districting came into play .<br />

We hope, as a board, that you<br />

our <strong>Iowa</strong> members will support<br />

the Regional Districting with<br />

Wisconsin for 2010 and send<br />

your prints for the affiliated<br />

judging . The winter convention<br />

in Wisconsin will be held February<br />

25 - March 1 at the Radisson<br />

Hotel and Conference Center in<br />

Green Bay, WI .<br />

Our <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual Winter<br />

Convention will be held<br />

February 6 - 9, 2010, with our<br />

print competition being held as<br />

usual and awards given out at<br />

our banquet . As in the past, this<br />

is an opportunity for you to “test<br />

the waters” with your prints<br />

before sending them on to the<br />

affiliated judging in Wisconsin<br />

for 2010 .<br />

Again, as more information is<br />

provided for both 2010 and<br />

2011 and future, you will be<br />

receiving it .<br />

Good Works<br />

WHCC has worked with many nonpr<strong>of</strong>it organizations over the last<br />

several years to help them meet their goals . Now I Lay Me Down<br />

to Sleep (NILMDTS), Flashes <strong>of</strong> Hope, and Extreme Makeover Home<br />

Edition (EMHE) are just a few on a list <strong>of</strong> many that are valued at<br />

WHCC .<br />

NILMDTS provides a helping hand and a healing heart to families supporting<br />

and cherishing the life <strong>of</strong> a baby or young loved one that may<br />

not have survived the beautiful journey <strong>of</strong> pregnancy or birth . WHCC<br />

has played a part in helping to keep their spirit living through printed<br />

photographs . In 2007, a large monetary donation from WHCC, allowed<br />

this organization to hire their first Executive Director! To this<br />

day we continue our support <strong>of</strong> the NILMDTS organization . Our owner,<br />

Mike Hanline sits on the Board <strong>of</strong> Directors for NILMDTS and we<br />

are continuing our support with photographic prints for the NILMDTS<br />

Photographic Art Fundraising Project . WHCC has donated the printing <strong>of</strong> photographic prints that are hand-signed<br />

and numbered by a handful <strong>of</strong> the industry’s most well-known . For more information about NILMDTS, visit http://<br />

www .nowilaymedowntosleep .org<br />

Flashes <strong>of</strong> Hope is a non-pr<strong>of</strong>it organization dedicated to creating uplifting portraits <strong>of</strong> children fighting cancer and<br />

other life threatening illnesses . The portraits are taken by award-winning photographers and WHCC provides each<br />

child with an 8x10 and pro<strong>of</strong>s <strong>of</strong> their session! These children and their families cherish these photographs and their<br />

experience with Flashes <strong>of</strong> Hope when they are presented with beautiful images <strong>of</strong> themselves not to mention the<br />

feeling <strong>of</strong> confidence they are given . For more information about Flashes <strong>of</strong> Hope, visit http://www .flashes<strong>of</strong>hope .<br />

org<br />

Working with Extreme Makeover Home Edition (EMHE) has been one <strong>of</strong> our more exciting experiences . EMHE airs<br />

on ABC each Sunday evening across the US . They provide a deserving family with a new home including all furnishings<br />

and artwork for the home . This is all completed within a 5-7 day time period . All items are donated from various<br />

businesses for the family . Several WHCC clients have been fortunate enough to be asked by EMHE to photograph<br />

the family . In turn WHCC provides the photographic art <strong>of</strong> the images our clients took <strong>of</strong> the family to be used in the<br />

home . We have printed numerous gallery wraps, photographic prints and photographic prints mounted on standout<br />

as well as press printed books for over a dozen deserving families . We are thrilled and honored to be a part <strong>of</strong><br />

the EMHE family! We love to see the piece <strong>of</strong> artwork we had a hand in creating bring a smile or a tear to a family<br />

as they walk through their new home and it is aired on ABC for all to see . For more information about EMHE, visit<br />

What Inspired Me About Photography<br />

By Cynthia Lakelyn dLamant<br />

My 8 th grade summer I was bored and restless . The answer was the Pentax K1000<br />

35mm camera my father gave me . I have been hooked on photography ever since .<br />

It has been a constant in my life no matter what other projects I’ve been involved<br />

with . What I love about photography is the creative process . At root, a photograph<br />

captures a moment in time that will never be repeated . That inspires me . It’s the<br />

“truth” <strong>of</strong> the art form .<br />

Another personal inspiration is the opportunity to mix photography with my love <strong>of</strong> marketing . They seem to go<br />

hand in hand, a marriage <strong>of</strong> passion and logic--each creating inspiration for the other .<br />

Here is to making dreams come to fruition .<br />
