New catalog cover features APP families & friends The cover of Active Parenting's spring catalog--and the spring homepage image--features a photo of Active Parenting employees and their families taken at our annual summer BBQ.

As always with group photos, there were challenges. As soon as our 47 models were outfitted in T-shirts and gathered together, one of Atlanta's famous summer thunderstorms swept in. Thanks to the skills of photographer Mike Moreland, the planned 1-hour photo shoot was accomplished in 10 minutes, leaving plenty of time for barbecue--and bubbles (above)!
