WPPI Awards of Excellence

Thanks to our wonderful clients and subjects for working with us and helping us create something special that goes beyond the photographs themselves.

Congratulations... what an amazing accomplishment! I really like your statement about creating art... I think that is something every photographer should strive for. When this happens, I think the true emotions of the day will be captured in their photos, just like you have done here.
