I woke up this morning to some fun news in my inbox… 4 wins in the Fall 2009 ISPWP contest!! My friends Charo & Shane turned me on to the ISPWP a few months ago & after hearing all of the great things they had to say about it, I applied for membership. After being accepted, I figured it would be fun to give the contests a whirl, so I was thrilled to see a few of my images among the winners! A huge thanks to Kari & Cole, Michelle & Ryan, Robyn & Jordan, and Angie & Jerel for allowing me to be a part of the beautiful moments below…Congrats to you guys!!
If you have an hour to kill, go check out the rest of the winning images in each category. They are sure to inspire.
P.S. Huge congrats to my buddy Shane for placing as the Photographer of the Quarter…go Shane!!! 
Congratulations! You’ve come a long way since your blue ribbon photos in High School. The second place photo should’ve won. Great work!
Congrats! I agree, the “Emotional Impact” is definitely a first place. It’s a beautiful portrait!

I would just like to say that YOU, Ms. Kellie Kano, are the Photographer of the YEAR – every year!! (To me, anyway!) Congrats, Congrats!

You are so talented and you stir my heart with all your photographs, but these are simply amazing. I agree with the Dude. You should have won first place with the emotional impact category. I am so proud of you for sharing your gift with us.
Way to go Kellie! Your photos are beautiful as usual! I agree with some of the other comments, I don’t know what the first place photo looked like but it must have been fantastic to beat yours! You are so talented, I am proud to be your aunt. Love you. Aunt Debbie
