366 Photographs | October

2024 started alongside hundreds of thousands of people in Times Square as my husband and I crossed the intersection of 49th Street and 7th Avenue at just the right moment to see the ball drop.

On New Years Day, I filled my camera with images of New York City and decided I would embark on a journey of self-discovery by creating an image each day.

At the beginning of the year, I simply photographed something that brought me joy or something that documented the day. Over time my collection of daily images has expanded to include images of insects, flowers and travel.

Discipline and a never ending search for inspiration are the two intentions that form the foundation of this project.

Photography Awards Finalist | Kansas City Portrait and Fashion Photographer

I’m excited to announce that I am a finalist in two image competitions, the International Photographic Cup (IPC) and the Icon International Photography Awards. Live judging will take place for IPC at Professional Photographer’s of America’s conference, Imaging USA, in Louisville, Kentucky on January 27, 2024, and continue at the awards ceremony with the top 4 from each category on Monday night, January 29, 2024. Three of my images made it to the Round of 32, each scoring bronze in the following categories, Children and Teens, Illustrative Portrait, and Natural Portrait. These three images have the chance to score higher during the live head-to-head judging at Imaging USA.

Live judging for Icon Awards will take place in Las Vegas at the Wedding and Portrait Photographers International (WPPI) conference. Two years ago, I was honored to have won 2nd Place in the Portrait category with The Detective, a self-portrait. Last year the WPPI Image competition, which is ran by the fabulous team of Jerry and Melissa Ghionis, changed its name to Icon Awards. I submitted 8 images into the digital portion of the competition, 4 images received a Silver award and 1 image received a Silver Distinction award, as well as Top 10 in the Fashion and Beauty category. I will travel to the WPPI conference in March to watch the live judging of the print portion of the competition which will take place March 3, 2024-March 4, 2024. Photographers that made the Top 10 in their category are invited to participate in the print competition for the chance to win 1st, 2nd or 3rd place in that category. Next step is printing and matting my image!

Wish me luck!!!
