Inside Real Studios: RiaLee Photography
Ria Czichotzki has turned her passion for children and photography into a thriving business in two short years. From her gorgeously designed loft studio in one of the most exclusive buildings in Fargo, Ria shares with Design Aglow the joys and challenges of business, motherhood and self-fulfillment.

Jules Bianchi: Booking For Love
When it comes to domination and promise for the longevity of mankind, booking a wedding might not save the species like Battlestar Galactica, but this petite beauty in flannel pajamas might just make the future a little bit brighter for engaged couples… if the crusade can wait until after noon.

My Dirty Little Secret
Shhhhhh! We won’t tell if you won’t. We asked Design Aglow readers to share their deepest, darkest, juiciest, dirty little secrets with the world in this issue’s special feature. Get the best dirt on posing, marketing, Photoshop, and lighting!

Dear Heather: Your Most Difficult Client Issues, Solved
While Heather Rivlin is known for her black and white images, not everything in terms of customer relations is black and white. Rivlin shares this wisdom with Design Aglow and shares everything from dealing with naughty children to the [sometimes naughty] clients themselves.

Huy Nyugen: Wants To Make You Think
Small bite-sized morsels of wisdom make for big results. And so it is with Huy Nguyen’s photographic talents. Coupled with chicken soup wisdom for the photographic soul, he shares with Design Aglow the beauty of wisdom and the wisdom of beauty.

High Key Magic: A Lost Photographic Style Makes a Huge Comeback
Could an underappreciated photographic style make a huge comeback? We certainly think so. We’ll explore a lost, yet beautiful, lighting style and show you that there’s more to high-key than you may have thought.

Jasmine Star: Be Fabulous
She is only 28, but she has already been to law school, nursed a mother with brain cancer, married the man she shares her life with, and adopted their Maltese, Polo. Jasmine dances in the street for her camera-wielding friends and has an obsession with canned tomato sauce.

Jeff and Julia Woods: Ready, Set, Grow!
Photographer and businesswoman Julia Woods is to sales what Oprah is to daytime talk shows. She shares her tips for success with Design Aglow.

Inspired Project: Pimp My Bag
Kick that old, boring camera bag to the curb! In this issue’s Inspired Project, we’ll show you how to arrive to your next shoot in style with a great new bag you customize yourself.
