Celebrating Award-Winning Photography

I’m often asked why I enter international photography competitions. The answer is simple: to grow as an artist and deliver the best possible portraits to my clients. Photography is a lifelong journey of learning and creativity. By challenging myself through competitions, I refine my skills, embrace new techniques, and hold my work to the highest standards.
Why I Compete in International Photography Competitions
My goal is to offer clients more than just photos—I create timeless, heirloom-quality portraits that capture genuine emotion and tell a meaningful story. Each session is about more than taking pictures; it’s about creating memories that become more valuable with time.
When clients invest in portrait sessions, they are investing in their family’s legacy. As the years pass, these portraits grow even more precious. That’s why I strive for excellence—ensuring every image meets industry-leading quality in both artistry and print.
Participating in renowned international photography competitions pushes me to improve. It’s not just about winning; it’s about refining my craft, testing my skills against the best in the industry, and continually evolving as a photographer.
2022 Award Highlights:in an International photography competitions in Recognizing Excellence
I’m incredibly proud to share my achievements from the 2022 Cosmo Awards International Competition. This past year was filled with exciting milestones, and my work was recognized with several top honors:
- First Place – Newborn category (for children under age 1)
- First Place – Teen category
- Second Place – Portrait Creative category
- Second Place – Family Portrait category
These prestigious awards helped me achieve Craftsman Level recognition—a meaningful accomplishment that reflects my dedication to creating exceptional portraits. In addition to these top placements, many of my portraits ranked in the Top 3-15 across various categories.
Award-Winning Client Portraits
What makes these awards even more special is that nearly all of the winning images were created during client sessions. Only two—the “Ducky Teen” portrait and the “Little Girl in Red Dress”—were conceptual images. The rest were authentic, real-life client portraits, making the recognition even more meaningful.
The Power of Print: Bringing Portraits to Life
One of the most exciting parts of the Cosmo Awards is the Final Print Competition, where photographers submit their best printed work. Print adds a richness and depth that digital images simply can’t match. The texture, color vibrancy, and tangible quality of a printed portrait create a lasting impression.
I was beyond honored to have my “Let’s Read Together” teen portrait win First Place in the print competition. This portrait, captured entirely in-camera, tells a heartwarming story with its sweet and genuine expression. Seeing it come to life in print was a proud moment, as it embodied everything I strive for—authenticity, emotion, and timeless beauty.
Why This Matters to My Clients
Participating in international photography competitions is about more than personal achievement—it’s about giving my clients the best. By pushing my creative boundaries and perfecting my craft, I ensure that every portrait I create meets the highest artistic standards.
When you choose me as your photographer, you’re not just getting pictures—you’re getting heirloom-quality artwork that will be cherished for generations.
