WPPI 8x10 Competition

The WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International) 8x10 competition was held in June. I submitted 12 images for this competition and I am pleased to announce that I received an Accolade of Excellence for 1 image. It is an amazing honor to receive this award. There were over 900 entries in this 8x10 competition!

Anyway, here is the press release for this award if you want to read it.

The winning image was taken at Luther and CarLisa Johnson's wedding on June 1, 2008. Here is the winning image "Baby...Don't Cry."


Thank you to everyone who has supported me through these competitions. They are very stressful but can also be very rewarding when others see worth in your images.

Press Release!

I was thrilled to look in my e-mail today and find a press release from WPPI for my Accolade of Excellence. Reading through it made me smile and made me feel great about my accomplishment. I am not one to toot my own horn, but I was told that if I don't do it...no one will. So here I am...toot...toot!! LOL

Anyway..here is the press release (You can click on it to see it bigger! LOL). I forwarded it onto the Akron Beacon Journal, The Plain Dealer, The Canton Repository, The Suburbanite, The West Side Leader and Today's Bride Magazine. I would be so excited if it got published by any of them!



Thanks for sharing my joy with me!
