Alex and Sam - A surprise Engagement
Not too often does a potential groom arrange for a camera crew and photographer to be there when he pops the question, but in the case of Alex and Samantha that is exactly how it went down. We will post the whole story in pictures later on, but for here are a few portraits that we made after she said yes:

A Year in Review - Competatively
So to cap off a great year in business, Julie has encouraged me to make a blog post that highlights our award-winning images from the past year. We compete at local state and national levels with our images in order to improve our craft. Competition gives you unbiased criticism of your work from qualified judges and also enables you to see the other outstanding work that is being done in the industry. So without further ado I will show you some of the images and tell you what they won.
This first image titled "Invincible" won a merit from the Professional Photographers of America(PPA) and was accepted in to the PPA loan collection. Out of between 5 and 7 thousand images from all over the world, the PPA judges select around 500 to be a part of the Loan Collection each year.
This second image titled "Unbalanced" received a merit from the PPA and also won first place for portrait of a man at the Florida Professional Photographers annual convention and print competition. This convention is very special to Florida Photographers because you get to mingle and exchange ideas with your friends and colleagues from all over the state.
This next image titled "Survivor" is very special to Julie and I because it was created during a Flashes of Hope shoot at Arnold Palmer Children's Hospital. Flashes of Hope is an organization that brings together professional photographers with the families of children with cancer to create uplifting portraits for those families. This image received a merit at the FPP Convention and Competition as well as a PPA merit at the national competition and was accepted in to the PPA Showcase Collection which is printed as a hard-bound volume and distributed nationally each year.
Julie's image titled "All Eyes on Me" was a candid shot at a wedding for our dear friends and clients Chris and Lauren. I love this because I feel like it captures that one breathless second when everyone turns around to see the bride. This image won 1st place for photojournalism at the Professional Photographers Society of Central Florida (PPSCF) competition in November.
We captured this image titled "Here Comes the Bride" (totally original title right?) at a wedding we photographed in New Jersey. The little bridesmaid was very excited about her big job that day. This image won 2nd place for photojournalism at the PPSCF November competition.
This is one of those moments you can't plan and one of my favorite images that Julie has ever made. "Glee" won a merit at the FPP competition over the summer and was Julie's first entry in to state competition. This bride, Amanda was captured having a moment of pure glee with her mom right after the wedding ceremony.
"Goooaaaal" is one of those images, unlike "Glee" that requires a lot of setup and several tries to capture. With multiple lights firing and a subject upside-down in mid air, it's easy to see why this image of Julie's received a merit at the PPSCF competition in November and also won 1st place in PPSCF people's choice competition.
We will keep learning and competing so that the quality of our work is always improving. Our clients will always know that we are always working hard to make the most beautiful and meaningful images possible for them. Hopefully 2011 will bring us even more success in competition, we'll be sure to keep you posted.
