This month marks 10 years of About. I can only take credit for being a part of the last four years. A lot has changed since that first issue back in May 2008.
On set of the Stylin’ Spring photo shoot | Behind the Scenes
Some of my favorite days are photo shoot days. Getting out of the office is always nice. And getting to see an idea come to life is the best part. Usually, I just assign photographs to our photo department and wait to see the final result. Being on location and essentially directing the shoot adds another level of fun to the process.
Stylin’ spring

It was all business in the very beginning for Haley Rice and John Becker. In the spring of 2014, Haley had just come back to Canton after attending graduate school in Oxford, Ohio. While she was actively job searching, John messaged her on LinkedIn about a potential job opening.
