It's been 2 weeks since my 2nd shot of Pfizer...woohoo! I'm now fully vaccinated!

I received a trophy at the 2020 DPPA year-end awards: Second Place in the Artist Division! Entries are judged for art and editing skills and are typically digital composites. I am particularly drawn towards fantasy themes.

I was also awarded a DPPA platinum pin for accumulating 7 scores of 400+ in the Photographic Open Division throughout the year! This is the division that I compete in with my architectural images.

Between local competition at DPPA, International Print Competition, and becoming a Certified Professional Photographer, 2020 was an amazing year of professional growth for me! I’m so grateful to have such supportive and talented peers. Looking forward to seeing what 2021 brings!

I am elated to announce that I placed as a Platinum Medalist in the Professional Photographers of America's 2020 International Photographic Competition!

Photographers submit 4 images each. From over 5,000 total submitted entries, 1,706 images were selected for the General Collection, and 865 (roughly 17 percent) were selected for the esteemed Loan Collection—the best of the best. Becoming a Platinum Medalist means that all 4 of my images gained entry into a Collection: 1 into the General Collection, and 3 into the Loan Collection.

In 2020, there were 40 Diamond Photographers of the Year (distinguished as having all 4 entries enter the Loan Collection) and 37 Platinum Photographers of the Year. This means I placed in the top 7%! I’m over the moon! You can see my entries below 😊

I just entered the International Photographic Competition (IPC) for my first time! 🤞

I am happy to announce that I have joined the prestigious group of Certified Professional Photographers, or CPPs!

While Covid-19 has slowed the commercial real estate industry and available jobs, I didn’t want to let it impede my professional growth. I’ve used the extra time to study for my certification and advance my photography skills.

CPPs must complete a written examination, finish an image evaluation, adhere to a strict code of conduct, and renew on a periodic basis. Certification holds photographers to a higher standard. Obtaining the CPP designation demonstrates that I’m committed to being the best photographer I can be!

Professional Photographers of America currently recognizes fewer than 2,500 CPPs. I’m overjoyed to be counted one of them!

Looking back on the last two years, we've made a lot of improvements! I'm joined in the business by my husband Jake LeGrand, who is now our principal photo editor. We've added drone imaging, which has been a complete game-changer. Now, we're looking to improve on marketing by rebranding and creating a new website (which I'm abashed to say, I haven't updated in years)!

For Christmas, my nephew drew this picture of me photographing a building! ❤ Merry Christmas everyone!

After passing my test on FAA Part 107 last week, I am now certified to operate drones commercially! About to unbox this DJI Phantom 4 Pro, which I'll be using for that purpose. I've had my eye on this drone for a year and a half...so excited to test this bad boy out!

My last post was in January! Now it's July and I venture out into the heat wearing shorts and a Camelbak, slathered in sunscreen. I am good at a lot of things, but based on the irregularity of my posts, clearly social media is not my forte... 😑
