Some of you might know how passionate I am about continuing my education of photography. I feel that is important to keep learning to give my customers the best services and products I can! One of the ways I do that is by attending Kansas Professional Photographers Association (KPPA) events and workshops. I am a Senior board member and photographer for the events. This group is my photography family! I have met some of my best friends through KPPA and the mentorship is priceless. This weekend was our annual Winter Shutter Expo and it was a blast! Starting with print competition, hands on lighting bays and then the weekend full of packed national known speakers and classes, photo safaris, meals, light night fun, mentorship, fellowship, and awards banquet! Lets not forget the weekend away with the wonderful soft hotel bed that this mommy of 6 loves! Lol!
I was humbled and honored when I received the KPPA Special Award for 2016 at the Kansas State awards banquet on February 20th. The Special award is designed to honor those individuals that have performed service in the advancement of the association without consideration of the sacrifices.
My dear friend Kathleen nominated me and said some really nice things about me! I am so lucky to have my KPPA family and my own family! My children who sacrifice and help out when mom is gone, our parents who chip in when we need it, and my husband who is forever supportive of my ideas and goals! This special award is for all of them too!.jpg)
