Accreditation #5 & Judge Jen

So many good things are going on!  (I feel like the photography version of Martha Stewart)  I have a number of recent developments that I'd like to share!  Within the PPoC (Professional Photographers of Canada) there are ways to attain an 'accreditation' in certain fields or genres of photography.  I submitted for my fifth accreditation in April, and I received it.  This particular accreditation was for Environmental Family Photography.  In lay-person's terms, this is outside-of-the-studio family photography.  It is always exciting to have my work favorably and professionally-judged.  I was required to submit 10 different images, of ten different subjects in 10 different sessions and they each had to pass the scrutiny of the judges.

Below is one of the images that was accepted as part of this accreditation submission.  

I was also very fortunate to be able to qualify to participate in the judging clinic at our National Convention in Vancouver in April.  I am now a qualified image competition judge.  It was extremely eye-opening and I learned a ton!  I love learning!
