Photography Idol Submission

Last year I participated in Photography Idol over at Chic Critique Forum. Imagine my complete shock when I was chosen in the top 10 to be a part of the competition! I didn't make it past that first week but it was more than I had hoped for. I learned a lot in the one challenge and critique I was able to participate in and am back for more. There is so much wonderful talent out there but I'm hoping to make it into the top 10 again and given a chance to push myself and grow.

Trying to choose just one image that encompasses your style and skill is near to impossible! I've debated on this for weeks and finally came to this image. This is one of my oldest and dearest friends who was expecting her first baby. She came "home" to visit and requested a beach location for her session. This shot was one I had in mind for a long time and she was such a good sport to play along. We were able to get it just as the sun was dipping into the ocean and the colors were amazing!

Fingers crossed!

Chic Magazine Cover Submission

I'm submitting this cute shot of Debbie for Chic Critique Forum's cover contest.  They are the place to be if you are a photographer looking for constructive criticism, latest trends, and online classes.

I know I'm taking a big chance with a black and white, sun flare, and off center. But what have I got to lose?
