It’s a beautiful gift to be asked to capture someone’s portrait, whether it’s for their family, their professional work, or just because. Last year I had the honor of photographing six, local female authors. The portraits had to capture – in a glance – who they are and what they want to share on websites, book jackets and in press materials. No pressure!

When it comes to Hunter Bell, she really gets how to make a dress for warmer weather. Maybe it’s her Texas roots, but over and over, I find that nobody does it better. I’m not typically a color or pattern person, but I’m always drawn to her dresses. I get a few each season, to the surprise of people who know my style well. I tend to wear just the shirt dresses, but wish I could wear all of them.
April is National Letter Writing Month! I love all these fun made up “holidays.” They bring so much silliness and joy. Naturally, one of our Penny Post favorites is National Letter Writing Month. It’s an entire month where we get to celebrate writing letters and connecting with our loved ones near and far. We are up to our usual shenanigans this year, but with a little additional joy thrown in.

Pamela went viral on TikTok at the end of 2021. “I made a video of trends I had observed through the lens of an elder millennial. Overnight I gained 50,000 followers…I had celebs following me,” she shares. “This humorous approach to trends worked for an older audience,” and she kept creating “weekly Cliff notes” for two years as an organic content curator. She struck more gold with spoof reality shows on the platform. “There’s a lot more silliness and physical comedy coming back to social, people need an outlet.”
