The above image placed in the “emotion” category of the Wedding Photojournalist Association Fall 2006 Contest and can be viewed in the winning images section of the WPJA website. I love this images because it really communicates the joy and liberation the bride felt on her wedding day.
Three of my prints received special honors in the Wedding and Portrait Photographers International 2006 8 x 10 Print Competition. This was one of my high scoring prints.
Two of my photographs were chosen to be a part 100 Women In Photography International Turning Silver Online Exhibition as well as to be included in the upcoming limited edition 25th Anniversary book. I encourage you to take a look at the exhibition; there are some beautiful and really intelligent work – go women photographers!

Last year I was awarded an incredibly generous scholarship, the Jason K. Stern Travel Scholarship, from Julia Dean (www.juliadean.com). After much contemplation I decided to resist my usual urge to go off to some remote place in world and am going to work on a photo project in the US.
On September 10th, less then 24 hours after I return from France (eek), I will fly from New York to Knoxville, Tennessee and travel with camera in hand around the Appalachian countryside for one month. I have been in contact with a non – profit organization in Kentucky and am working on details of my next photo project.
The trip isn’t necessarily the best timing being that I had to turn down a lot of work during the busy wedding month of September. But, in order for me to stay passionate and inspired I need to maintain a healthy balance between my wedding and editorial photography. Both types of photography enrich my life in completely unique ways and I would get burnt out if one existed without the other. This image was part of my submission portfolio.
