1. The GDA team got
acquainted with a few
of our baby gift
choices before getting
to work on our first-
ever photoshoot for an
original June cover.
We had to have a little
fun…there were
crowns, boas and
bunnies! Clockwise
from left, Cammie
Collier, art director,
Lenise Willis, editor in
chief, and Anne-Marie
Earl, managing editor.

2. Joining our staff for the
shoot was Ariel Perez,
in-house photographer
with parent company
Progressive Business
Media.
The location of the
shoot was the historic
North Carolina home
of Managing Editor
Anne-Marie Earl.
(Psst…that bookshelf
on the left is actually a
secret door to a
hidden room.)

3. Art Director
Cammie Collier
plays with
product
placement in
preparation for
the shoot.

4. Gifts and Decorative Accessories will have lots of cover
options for their June issue of the magazine. Get a hard
copy to see which one we pick.

5. This sweet crib, pretty turquoise wall and creative nursery-room décor is
part of 2-year-old Clementine’s real bedroom. Managing Editor and modern
mom Anne-Marie Earl was nice enough to invite us over for the
photoshoot.

6. After a hard
day of work, we
had to treat
ourselves to a
lunch at Hops
Burger Bar,
