Child Photo Magazine Issue 12, Summer 2019 | Page 2

CHILD PHOTO MAGAZINE editor's note It has been our pleasure to work on this magazine to showcase and help provide opportunities for young talent. We are especially proud to have helped find a spotlight for Seneca, our 2017 Cover Model Winner, and Emma, our 2018 Cover Model Winner. We hope that each of them finds happiness in all that lies before them. Over the past three years, since we began this magazine, we have struggled to increase interest in our cover model contest and our pool of emerging talent has remained relatively small. For this reason, our leadership has decided to change the direction of the magazine and focus more on the pho- tography, rather than the models them- selves. Therefore, we will no longer be promoting an Annual Cover Model Contest. We still plan to help young tal- ent, but it will lean towards how to be- come seen through their photos. If you know of a photographer who takes brilliant child photos, please en- courage them to contact us through our upcoming, newly designed website. We hope this change will serve you better, and thank you for your contin- ued support. - 2018 COVER MODEL WINNER Emma PHOTOGRAPH BY Kristy Lynn 2 | Child Photo Magazine T . Herlong
