Heartland Professor Starts Her Own Business

Normal IL - March  16, 2010

This is the headline of a great story on Reflections Etc printed in the Heartland Community College student newspaper, the Spectator.  Sounds impressive doesn’t it? Ok, so the student writing this article, James “Jim” Conway, accidentally gave me a big promotion.   Though my actual title is Adjunct Faculty, I do think it’s very common for students to think that “all” their instructors are “professors”.

Jim did an awesome job interviewing me.  He was very polite and professional.  I really appreciate the time he took to interview me and write such an informative story about my business and how it all started at Heartland.  Click here to read a copy of the article.

Reflections Etc starts blog series on “Choosing a High School Senior Photographer”

Normal IL – February  10, 2010

“You’re just a Junior and you just started your winter semester! Why should you even be thinking about Senior Photos now?”

That’s how it all starts.  “How what starts?”, you ask.

Well I’m glad you asked.  It’s a blog series on how to go about “Choosing your Senior Portrait Photographer”.  Many Juniors don’t even know they should start thinking about such things so early.  And even if they do, they often don’t know how to go about choosing the one that’s right for them.

Senior portrait photographer Pamela Cather started blogging on this topic to help juniors make this important decision.  The series starts on Jan 27th – Day One which can be found at  http://www.reflections-etc.com/blog/choosing_a_photographer/ . The series will talk about budgets, proofs, personalities and style among other topics. By the end of the series Juniors and their parents should be able to make well informed decisions on whom will be photographing this major milestone in their lives.

Is there life after Heartland? Will Heartland prepare me to get a job?  Photographer Pamela Cather has started her own photography business, Reflections Etc, after taking classes at Heartland.  The main classes that got her desire going were the digital photography classes she took there.  The marketing class she took is helping her understand the intricacies of advertising her business.  The web design and graphic arts classes allow her to save money by designing and maintaining her own website.   The instructors at Heartland were encouraging and motivating.  They gave her the courage to go out and follow her dream.
