Front Cover of the Yearly Winners - SPPA, Design by Gail Ann Wodzin

What an honor it is to win Photographer of the Year at the Seattle Professional Photographers Association! I have been an active member with the association for about eight years, served on the board for the past two, as VP of Education, and actively participating in print competition.

I have been actively entering and participating in the monthly print competitions, seriously, for the past 4 years, and I finally won!  The monthly contests are held at the monthly meeting.  There are always four categories to enter prints: Wedding, Portrait, Open, Folio (3 or more images mounted).  To be eligible for Photographer of the Year you have to win at least one time in each category.

Here are a few of the images I won awards with this past year:

Realtor “Headshot”, or as I like to call them, Professional Portraits October 1, 2011

A cute, and “funny” story of how I know Gerry.  Gerry and I are both very active in the Greater Bothell Chamber of Commerce.  We have gotten to know each other over the 5+ years of being in the chamber and attending their events.  One time I brought my mother to a chamber event and Gerry recognized my mom.  They reminisced about how they knew each other and it turns out we used to ride horses together….way back in the day. (I’ve been riding horses since I was 5 years old).   So with that, it’s brought our connection even closer.

Last week I had the great pleasure of photographing this sunny and vivacious realtor, Gerry Eagle of Remax.  I can highly recommend Gerry if you are buying or selling a home. She can be reached on her website at www.GerryEagle.com, or phone, 206-226-3245.

Professional Portrait by Acclaimed Photography

As you can see, at Acclaimed Photography we give you a wide variety of image choices with your professional portrait photography session. I suggest that you bring at least two, if not three or four, tops for your portrait.  I always like to have more choices to photograph and then select the images you like the best.

A true leader in Seattle! Shandel Slaten February 13, 2011

Last year I attended Shandel Slatens Women’s Leadership Summit in Seattle, WA. The day was filled with great speakers, food, activities (we all took the ‘DISC’ test which I am an “S”), and networking.  This year Acclaimed Photography is a sponsor of the 2011Women’s Leadership Summit (www.SeattleWomensLeadershipSummit.com).

A few days ago, on an overcast Seattle day, I had the pleasure to create some new professional portraits of Shandel. Her beauty and energy just radiates from within and I believe these images portray that.
