NYC engagement session wins award

Recently I (Laura) entered some prints and folios in the Professional Photographers Association of New England Competition where I earned a couple of blue ribbons and and some reds as well. All my entries can be viewed here.

Of the entrants, the most notable was the folio entered in the group category which won for the best group folio of the competition. Ted and Matt live in NYC and are getting married this July in Manchester, VT. It just so happened that I was going to be down visiting my family in Brooklyn on a weekend that they were home so we coordinated their engagement session to be done at Central Park.

Thanks to Ted and Matt for being such great clients and we look forward to the big event in July!!

New Hampshire Professional Wedding Photographer's Annual 2010 Print Competition

We recently attended the annual New Hampshire Professional Photographers Association Convention. Like last year we entered the annual print competition. It's such an exciting opportunity as all of the entrants are being judged by some of most accomplished professional photographers around.

Marilyn earned two blue ribbons and three red ribbons! Fuji agrees that her image, entitled "First Light" was outstanding as it won the Fuji Film award for the best illustrative image of the competition! This image was taken on her well-deserved vacation and even when she's on vacation her creative mind and eyes are always at work. Congratulations to Marilyn for such an achievement. Marilyn also entered several client images from her thriving new business, Marilyn Dillon Photography in the center of Hampstead, NH, which earned her three red and one blue ribbon.





For Laura, "Let's party," a fun image of a joyous couple dancing to their party after the portraits earned her a red ribbon. Her love of antiques prompted her to take her door off the hinges and photograph this beautiful old brass door knob. They just don't make doors like they used to! This image, called "Turn to the Past" earned her a blue ribbon. Also entered was an illustrative photograph from her vacation called "Mountain Crossing" which also earned her a red ribbon.



In print competition a white ribbon represents an average professional photograph and a red ribbon represents an above average professional photograph. The blue ribbon is representative of "deserving of a merit" which at the national level are accumulated and and put toward a Professional Photographers of America photographer degree.
Most of the images are now off to Professional Photographers of America for their international competition. Stay tuned!
We hope you enjoy looking at our work!
