Each year I attend the Professional Photographers of Iowa convention in Des Moines. Along with attending classes with wonderful speakers from across the U.S. and networking with photographers from around the midwest, I also enter in the annual print competition. This year I was honored to have won one of the top awards at the convention, the Don Knop Wedding Award, which is given to the top wedding image at the PPI convention. It means so much to have won this award as I was working for Don when he passed away.
Along with the Knop award, I was also honored to be named to the Top Ten Photographers with a 4th place ranking, and the Top Certified Photographer. I also received 1st place in the Wedding Album category, 2nd place in the Portrait of a Man Outdoors category, 2nd place in the Wedding Print category, 2nd place in the Wedding marketing category, and 3rd place in the Senior Marketing category.
