I was so nervous! Even more than last year, or the year before, because judging was getting tougher and tougher! But I swallowed my fear and entered! Oh, how I was afraid to press that enter button… Yikes!

To my surprise! I earned 5 Bronze awards in Children’s, Senior’s, and Contemporary Portraiture!

There were 8,609 images and 11 judges from around the world, critiquing images with highest of standards, and mine were amongst the ones that earned bronze. I could not believe when I saw that, because the photographers that had entered are absolutely amazing!

Thank you to my wonderful clients, who let me submit their images. Thank you for the honour and blessing of letting me photograph you and your children! Also, a huge thank you to my lovely assistant, and my makeup and hair artists. Wow! You all share this award with me! You do such terrific work.

Thank you also to my wonderful husband who always encourages me to reach higher! I love you.

Love you all, I am very grateful.

Thank you for letting me show all how everyone else see’s you – beautiful.
