I am now back from attending a great WPPI (wedding and portrait professionals International)’s annual conference. I learned alot and met many of my great and fun photography colleagues from around the world.
Another great experience for me was that the two photographs I entered into WPPI’s international 16×20 print competition both scored and received a ribbon (saying “award of excellence competition”). The total number of entries for the competition was over 2500 and a print had to score at least 80 points in order to be displayed in the award winning gallery and receive a ribbon. I am not sure how many were featured in the gallery, I am guessing maybe 300. Many great photographs was featured and many was from famous photographers such as Bambi Cantrell or Jesh DeRox and others. It was very inspiring to see the other fantastic photographs featured and the variety of options.
The two I featured was this one of the little boy that currently is featured on my home page for the portrait side of my website. I named that print soulful eyes. The second one to receive a ribbon was my water bride that is featured on my wedding side of my website. (here I am proudly standing by one of my award winning print!)
Even though the majority of the duration during my stay was spent in classes and in the tradeshow . I still had time for a little photography fun. Here are a few from the Las Vegas Strip by our hotel. Also one from the view out of the airplane when leaving Las Vegas. The sky was so pretty and the colors were amazing so I had to capture that moment.
It is nice to be back home and my scedule is back to somewhat usual this week, even though my children have spring brake and my time is a little bit divided by them.
If you are looking to scedule a session I am currently booking for mid April and on at this point.
