A - Absolutely!! That would work out wonderfully.

Every year the Professional Photographers of Idaho hold their annual convention with amazing speakers and educators to come and teach the photographers in Idaho new ways of photographing people, ways to help business and other fun stuff. This year's convention was no exception! I thought it was hands down the best convention I've attended so far. We had Sam Gardner, Lori Nordstrom, Bill Sorenson, Greg Sims, and Scott & Adina Hayne. I was also honored that I was asked to speak as well! I must admit it was rather frightening to speak to a group of peers, most of whom have years more experience than I do. I spoke about shooting in low light in the client's home, which I do quite a bit of. I got some great feedback about the topic I spoke on and once I got going and started getting questions I was much more at ease. It was a great experience.
Another fun part of the PP of Idaho annual convention is the print competition! We can submit 6 images for competition and they are judged by a panel of 5 Master Photographers. There are 6 judges and each judge rotates and 1 will sit out during a portion of the judging. This is my third year entering print competition but the first year where I felt like I had a better understanding of what the judges are looking for. My photographer friends and I sat in a darkened room all day to watch each other's prints come up and be scored. It was exciting and fun! Sometimes the judges will call back an image because they want to look it over again and talk about it and try to increase (or sometimes decrease) the overall score of the image. It's great when the judges do that because you get to hear what their thoughts are about the image and it's a great opportunity to learn. This year, I learned a lot!! The judges brought back 2 of my images to discuss and it was great to hear their feedback during the judging and then after the judging is over you can ask each judge to discuss their thoughts on your prints. I am VERY happy with the way my prints scored in competition this year. I earned 3 merits and a Judges Choice Award!
Now, here are my competition prints!
Crocus
The Power Within
Rock Band ~ I have to give HUGE THANKS to my husband for helping me name this print! The title of a print has impact in the judging because the title in announced as the print comes out. This print received a Merit.
He's Got The Whole World In His Hands - Merit Print, Judges Choice Award
Shake Your Tail Feather - Merit Print
Ginger Snap
Another exciting bit of news from convention is that I was elected as a board member for the Professional Photographers of Idaho also! It's going to be fun!
