I also merited with two portraits. One was the Best Portrait and the other was a cute little ballerina that was rather attached to some pearls (don't worry, they get washed after every baby!). What does meriting mean? It means I know what I'm doing!! Lol. It's a ranking system designed by Professional Photographers of America to judge on twelve criteria of a portrait. Things like lighting, composition, impact and story-telling are just a couple of things the judges consider.
The next opportunity for judging isn't until the national convention in January in Tampa. I can't wait to go!!
Best Portrait of a Child & Merited Print: Playing Footsie
My other Merited Print: Bella Ballerina
Kaela, I was just getting online to look up your contact info to let you know how much we love our wedding album. I used to look at the album everyday, but now it is more like once a week. We continue to receive rave reviews on it from friends and family. One of my friends asked me if you could make her one from her wedding negatives from 4 years ago. I told her to call you. :) Your new website is fabulous and really represents you. Are you no longer photographing weddings? Thanks again for everything and congratulations on your award. Jamie Ingles (and Vincent Sandoval)
