TPPA Awards
Mark and I just returned from Kerrville and the Texas Professional Photographers Association Summer Seminar. This has become like a vacation for me, even though I’m sitting in talks and working the print room during the competition. I guess you could say that this seminar is like a “shot in the arm” to get me energized for the upcoming busy Fall season! Well, I normally either just enter one print a year or maybe two. But, this year I entered four prints and one folio and I came away with three scores that will go toward my associate fellowship degree AND three distinguished print awards! (can you see my jaw on the floor?) A very humbling, yet exciting trip! I’ve always said that I am only as good as my subjects and I guess this proves that I have amazing clients who just happen to make me look good!
Here are the three prints that scored this year. Enjoy!
This little guy scored so well that he will probably go on to the Southwest PPA competition!

You might recognize this sweet face from the cover of my website and blog!

“Miss Callie” should receive an award for just being plain cute!



Doodlebugs! You DO have good subjects, and such a gift for showing them off. What a blessing for all of you! That is so exciting!
Congratulations Debbie! That is sooo awesome…but I’m sorry we missed each other when we were out that way!
I’m glad you won some awards. I have some jealous NC friends that wish you could photograph their kids. Keep a date open for me when we come to Abilene in the Fall with Luke and Baby Sidden #2! I love that my niece’s photo won an award!
