WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO… I won, I won!

I am very excited (if you couldn’t tell).

It was based on overall achievement, not from a specific photograph. I have included a photograph from a recent shoot just for fun since this is a photo blog.

With the Heidi Mauracher Award, I got a scholarship to attend Golden Gate School, which is a 3-day school that is held once a year by the PPGBA (Professional Photographers of the Greater Bay Area). The only mention of my award was in the daily newsletter…

Not a lot of glory and recognition, but hey – I got to pick my class, which would’ve normally put me out $700, and I was in the BEST class! Lighting with Andre Costantini!

Plus, I feel honored to have received the award because Heidi Mauracher sounded like a great person and photographer… someone I would’ve loved to meet and draw inspiration from. Thanks to everyone at GGS and PPGBA! This was a fabulous experience. I learned a lot and had a TON of fun — and isn’t fun what life is all about?

I just wanted to say that I’ve enjoyed your images so much. I’ve just started doing artistic portraits as a business and dealing with a fair share of insecurity. Your work is inspiring to me. I also read your article over at DPS and it was very helpful since I’ve got a maternity shoot coming up in a few months.

Carrie, thank you so much for your compliments! It warms my heart to hear that my photos, my article, or my achievements can be helpful or inspiring to a fellow photographer! I truly believe that if you do what you are passionate about, then the rest will follow.

I also checked out your blog and I think your photos are great! I’d wish you luck on your new business, but I don’t think you need any. You’ll do great! Just do what you love.

Annie
