This was the first year that I entered the Shoot & Share contest. A totally free and fair photo contest that is open to everyone in the world. I went all in meaning I submitted 50 images which is the max amount. There were almost 500,000 images being judged and 30 of my photos placed in top categories! 4 of my images placed in the top 3% becoming a finalist contender. That is such a huge deal to me, I can’t even describe the joy it brings me. It was SO hard choosing the images. I tried to pick from my most recent photo sessions and of course, I entered a ton of my girls. As I’ve mentioned before. They are the reason I am in this business. I started out just trying to take better pictures of them and then fell so in love with the process and knew I had to do it for others. This was such a wonderful experience that pushed me out of my comfort zone. I am already planning on entering next year. My 2019 goal is to have a photo place in the top 100. This contest has given me such motivation to better myself and I am so inspired by all the talent. 2018 is going to be a great year for my clients. I’ve invested in education and learned new techniques. I can’t wait to share it with all of you.
