Professional Photographers of America’s Imaging Excellence Award is something I have strived to achieve since my first image competition, and I was thrilled to finally reach that goal in 2025. PPA celebrates award winners and presents them on stage once a year at Imaging USA, and this is one of my proudest moments. This award represents years of hard work and growth in creating my art. 🎉🎉🎉

The Imaging Excellence Award is awarded to members who hold a Master of Photography or Master Artist or Master of Wedding Photography degree and who have 13 images selected into the Imaging Excellence Collection.

I got out of my comfort zone and gave a presentation about my work in the ASP booth in the trade show at Imaging USA. Thank you to all the people who came to see me and for being a warm and gracious audience. My first talk about photography to photographers was a success. 🤗

(Forgive the images on the screen … they appeared much brighter than they really are.)

Each year, the American Society of Photographers produces the BEST OF THE BEST collection featuring members’ images from the Images of Distinction Competition. I am honored to be included in the 2026 collection with “Keeping Him Safe from Harm”.

The video was revealed at Imaging USA 2026, and the collection was also released in a book. Congratulations, everyone! 😍
