i just found framed somehow by mistake last night..and was so happy to see the “great” shannon sewell!…I admire her creativity,style and who she is as a person and this video really got me thinking about my business and how nice it would be to slow down and really focus on what is inspiring to me more…and for the record..i emailed shannon once about a giveaway she did on her blog…and was so shocked that she took the time to write me back..and mutiple times there after …feeling like she was a friend….I admire her humbleness and continue to look forward to seeing her blog posts….AWESOME Video shannon!
xoxo rachel

just wanted to say thank you SO much for featuring my [framed]spot on here!! it was quite intimidating to put myself out there but the [framed] crew was amazingly sweet & made me feel right at home (on the wrong side of the camera ;)!). i am humbled & flattered that you all watched & took the time to comment- thank you!! never really thought of myself to be in the middle of a business/artist discussion- i don’t give it much thought to be honest. i just try to listen to my gut in it all (that means doing what i love/feels right AND keeping food on the table) ;) like the saying goes…

Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life. ~Confucius

happy weekend!! ~S

Shannon Sewell Is making a living on one photoshoot a week? I LOVE THIS WOMAN!!
Some replies I read were ranting about being an artist and some other shit.
Artist or not, she’s doing fine and I admire her for it.
Her photographs are not only compelling, they show children in a setting that shows personality of the subjects, and she’s making a living doing it.

You aint got to be the head cashier at walmart to figure out, if a product sells, well then sell it and make a profit off of it!

Good god, why be a starving artist when you can make a profit and then be a well fed artist?
SHE SHOOTS ONE DAY A WEEK!
I think there is plenty of days left to be the artist, that some mentioned in their replies, even if being the “ARTIST” usually doesn’t pay the bills…

I really think this is a fantastic look at someone who has figured out one of the keys to life…no one else is going to put forth the effort to make YOU happy; you have to work towards that end yourself. She does beautiful work, and her joy really comes through in the final product.

Can’t help but think Lightroom would be a smarter approach for this level of editing.

Heck ya Niccole W! You better believe [FRAMED] loves you and and what you are doing with Lens of Hope!!!!!

I don’t believe anyone should ever give an explanation of why they did a plug in for a charity. She’s proud of it, the people she is helping are proud of it, the line up of photographers dying to be a part of it are proud of it, and I’m proud of her. :) Thanks fellas of Fstoppers for the feature!

This girls photos are great and her connections with kids and photography make this possible. I could be wrong but it is cool how this came about after she had kids and a passion grew.
