Just came back from the Professional Photographers of Mass. convention, and am excited by all the new ideas that were shared by the speakers. I also entered my photographs in the print competition and was awarded two blue ribbons! One was a panoramic view of the beautiful green and gold hills of Tuscany, and the other winner was an image I took right in our own backyard at the studio of one of the most gorgeous little girls I have ever had the pleasure of photographing! Miss Clarise Rose's beauty enchanted the judges, and won me my ribbon! I have been photographing her since she was an infant, so it was so much fun to do her "model portfolio" session, which really brought out her great little personality! A real ham, and I loved every minute of it!
