I was contacted by
Na'ima B. Robert, editor-in-chief of SISTERS, a magazine for muslim women, a few months ago, they wanted to use one of my
photographs for the cover of their Summer issue! I was thrilled really, for someone to show interest in my photography means a great deal, but to have one of my photographs on the cover of a glossy magazine, well.. it's a great achievement! (
at least for me..)
When we spoke on the phone, and she found out that I've been homeschooled all my life, she wanted to interview me about my experience as a homeschooler as well. Apparently, homeschooling is becoming a new "hit" among many Muslim mothers, and a lot of people are considering it as an option.
This is a photo of mine as well

The magazine came out about three weeks ago, click

Wow! Masha'Allah!! Congratulations!
Mabrook! That is quite an achievement, Masha Allaah!
On another note, if you are interested in "professional" photography, you can use this for your resume. Also, give careful consideration to giving away magazine photos, especially cover photos, for free. The big magazines pay a pretty penny for cover photos.
Too many magazines don't pay their literary artists, but they charge expensive subscriptions and have advertising.
@Lava.. that's such a sweet thing to say! Thanks!
@Saba, thank you! :)
