2015 Shoot & Share Contest Awards! {Cumming GA Family Photographer}

In late January, I submitted some of my favorite images into the annual Shoot & Share contest. There are thousands of fabulous photographers who are part of the Shoot & Share community and many of them capture jawdroppingly (I'll make it a word)  beautiful images! I saw so many amazing and inspirational photos in the contest last year and I honestly was just submitting my work for kicks. I'm humbled that 6 of my images placed in the top 30% of the 110,928 images submitted (Yup, it was that big!). The votes were cast over the course of a month, every few days the pool was culled. It was addictive to vote, as many other of my fellow photographers would agree, because the amazing images just got even better (and it sure was thrilling to see your own!). They took a few months to process the results and provide the details of where our images placed and just announced this month.

It was very insightful to see which images I submitted did the best. Some even surprised me. Three of the images that placed (and the one that made it as a finalist, which was the top 5%) were from Colton's first birthday session! Those hours spent building and painting that blue cardboard airplane were well spent! So here, below, I'm elated to share my images that were awarded in the 2015 Shoot & Share contest!
