First Place at PPWM this month

The category for this month's print

competition at Professional Photographer's

of West Michigan (PPWM) was line, shape

and texture. Michael Barton was our guest

speaker and chose my entry as the winning

print.

This is a building downtown on the

corner of Lyon and Division. The spiral stair

case caught my eye as I was walking by and

so I decided it might make a great graphic.

It turns out that it did!

PPWM Banquet

Hello and Happy Holidays!!!

I meant to post this exciting news sooner.... I was honored with the "Top 5 Photographers of the Year Award" from Professional Photographers of West Michigan (PPWM) at our banquet a couple weeks ago. Here I am with my friend and colleague, Tom Thompson who also made it into the Top 10. Thank you to all my friends, family and clients that cheered me on this past year. Your love and support helped get me to where I am today....I am so very blessed!

November Sunrise

Got up this morning and was feeling very tired...It is just that time of year with the holidays upon us and the crammed schedule is starting to take its toll.... When I looked out my window I had a moment of serenity when I saw our beautiful November sunrise.

Don't forget to take time during this busy time of year and give thanks for your simple blessings. It will make a world of difference in each day.
