National Award-Winning Photographer

Today was a pretty exciting day. I received a call this morning from a national photography contest that I had entered earlier this year. Approximately 15,000 photos were entered in the contest among four different categories (Color, Black and White/Sepia, Humorous, and Special Needs). The call was to inform me that I had won first place in the "Special Needs" category. The picture I had taken was one of a stillborn infant whom I was blessed to meet through Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep.



What an honor it is to be listed with such talented photographers from around the country. The bigger honor, however, is that as my prize, I now get to present the parents of this beautiful baby with $2000. What a day! It doesn't get much better than that.
