The Beauty Battalion - Featuring Beauty In All Shapes & Sizes August 2017 | Page 5

August is here. Take a deep breath. For a lot of us it means Back-to-School. Whether public, private, charter or homeschool, it's time to start gathering the clothes and supplies to get our kiddos off to a good start this school year!

Included you'll find several articles that will help ease us back into the routine of school.

Our cover feature on Stefanie Gillespie will pull at your heartstrings and leave you feeling inspired to "do hard things." It's a must read. And her photo shoot was incredibly emotional.

We enlisted the talents of all of our photographers for this one. Karen Erekson of Ashtyn Jade captured the raw emotion of Stefanie's loss, while Cliff Gull of Photopia Studios extracted the anger and pain. It was a brilliant collaboration. As you'll see, the photos speak volumes. Our head photographer, Shaun Anders was on set to oversee production and fine tune the images with his expert eye.

Creating poignant imagery is what our team does best. It is a very involved and customized journey for each cover, and we enjoy it all! We hope you find joy in what we create within the pages of our magazine. Thank you for your continued support.

xoxo
