9 New Image Awards!

This weekend was both the state and regional (multi-state) convention for professional photographers.  Every year, professional photographers are allowed to enter 4 prints for critiquing and possible awards, and the judging is done by out-of-state affiliated judges from the Professional Photographers of America.

I received NINE new image awards, including what is considered ‘the Best of the Best,’ the ASP State Elite Award! To even be eligible, a photographer must first me be a Master photographer, which is why it is called the best of the best – the highest scoring image by a Master photographer.

I also won TWO Kodak Gallery Awards, one of the most coveted awards available.

Here are the images and the rundown of awards for each image.

  • ASP State Elite Award
  • Kodak Gallery Award (Wedding)
  • 1st Place Multi-State Regional (Master Wedding)
  • 1st Place State (Master Wedding)

  • 3rd Place State (Master Pictorial)

  • 2nd Place State (Master Illustrative)

  • Kodak Gallery Award (Portrait)
  • 3rd Place State (Master Portrait)

Also, as one of the top scoring photographers, I won the ‘Court of Honor‘ award – an award that goes to the top 10 photographers.

Now these images will go on to the national level where I expect them to win even more awards.  I will now also be awarded ‘Photographer of the Year’ at nationals, but I’ll have to wait until then to receive that. :-)

If you’re looking for some fantastic images of your family for Christmas from one of the state and region’s best Master Photographers, give me a call!  I’d love to create something award winning for you!

Until next time, Amercia!

Kenny Loggins & Jim Messina

Last week I was hired to photograph Kenny Loggins & Jim Messina.  They were in town for an exclusive concert, and I was there to artistically document the concert and then create some studio portraits backstage.

Here’s one of the studio portraits of the two of them together…

It was a fantastic show and I was proud to be apart of it.  It was all apart of a great fundraiser to raise money for children needing dental work provided by the Caring Foundation for Children.
