This has been a great week for Joel. Not only did he have a kick-ass baby studio session as well as really cool engagement shoot (at the groom's private airplane hangar! more on this later) but he also won an award for his work. Joel got 1st place in the environmental/portrait category in the monthly PPGBA (Professional Photographers of Greater Bay Area) meeting! This is a great award to win since it is given by a panel of critical professional colleagues. The subject of the winning photo was none other than our little botanist Noah. The judges loved the angle of the photo as well as Noah's look of intense focus and determination.
Joel previously won PPGBA's Print of the Month competition back in Jan/Feb 2007.
