Shoot & Share Contest Results

I'm repeating myself here, but I wanted to post a blog and with better quality images. 

This year I entered 50 images in the shoot and share contest. Out of 332,768 photos worldwide from 141 countries with over 49 million votes, 7 of my images made it to the Finalist round, which is the top 3.5%, 12 made the top 10% round, 8 made the top 20% and 4 made the top 30%.

Even though I didn't place in the top 100 in their categories, I feel proud of how I did, especially up against all the AMAZINGLY talented photographers that entered the contest. The best part of it all is how inspired and motivated I feel to improve upon my work and push myself creatively. I can't wait to get out and start taking more pics this year!!! Here are my images.

Next up were these sweethearts! I like to get an idea before my sessions, what my clients vision is for the shoot. This Mom had sent me a picture of a little girl in a beautiful dress, and I happened to have that exact dress in the perfect size her her youngest daughter! I provided the other dress and boots and this fabulous Mom made them each the gorgeous fur shrugs for the shoot!!! Please always tell me if you have anything "different" in mind for your shoot, I love to get creative and strive to give my clients a unique product in the end. 

Enjoy
