State Pro Photography Competition Awards

I spent this past weekend at the Professional Photographers Association of Massachusetts state convention in Natick. Part of the convention is their competition. I entered 6 of my prints and they all received ribbons. There is bit of a game when entering these type of conventions with off center matting and borders or keyline colors and good titles to illustrate your image. I received two merit awards of blue and 4 red ribbons. I was very pleased with my competition results and this was my first time entering. I was very used to the world of photojournalism competitions...but when it comes to portraiture is a whole other ball game. Thanks for letting me share my news with you. :)

Here are my competition entries with titles and awards

1) Title: "Curious George" Blue Ribbon Merit
2) Title: "A window to the World" Blue Ribbon Merit
3) Title: "Anticipation" Red Ribbon
4) Title: "The one that got away" Red Ribbon
5) Title:" Timeless Winter" Red Ribbon
6) Title: "Follow Me" Red Ribbon

Big Brother... Little Sister

Another 3 year old became a big brother a few months ago. This time it was a session with a 3.5yo and a 3 month old. I just love how he peered in at his new baby sister and smiled...being so gentle. He had that best manners too. When I asked him if I could take another photo of him, his reply was "No thank you"..well you can't get any sweeter than that. Here are some favorites...

3 years old and 3 weeks old

I photographed this 3 year old when he was just 6lbs and now he is a big brother and has a little sister who weighed 5.5lbs at birth. She was a squishy sleepy newborn...just perfect for a newborn portrait session. The big brother loved peering in at his new sister and giving her kisses. Congratulations on your new baby....here are some favorites.

Beautiful Expecting Couple

An amazing maternity session with a beautiful couple. They were great to photograph and I was able to capture the beauty of her belly and their love for each other. I can't wait to meet their new baby next month. Here are some favorites...

Newborn Twins Portrait Session

I first met this family when their first child was just 4 months old, now he 2 years old and a big brother to a set of twins, a brother and sister. These twins were 15 days old and were just perfect to photograph. Congratulations to them on their new additions! Here are some favorites.
