I am sooooo giddy…
Well, coming off a sad day yesterday I got some FANTASTIC news today. My favorite photographer, Marianne of Marmalade Photography, is having a contest to attend one of her amazing workshops for free. I entered the contest and found out today I am one of the finalists!!!!!! This means so, so much to me because I adore her work and she inspires me both as a person and a photographer. I can still remember the first time I stumbled onto her website. I sat there literally speechless with my mouth hanging open. I have looked at literally hundreds of photographers websites, and have never had this reaction. Don’t get me wrong, I have seen some great stuff out there, but Marmalade Photography is in a class by itself. I can only hope some day that my work will touch other people, the way hers has touched me. So, that being said, I need YOUR help. The way the contest will work is that other photographers have to vote for me to win. So, while I know most of you are not photographers, I know somewhere out there you know some photographers. I don’t care if it is your Aunt Flo down in Texas, your sister’s boyfriends cousin, heck call your wedding photographer, anyone you know who is a professional photographer. If they can tell their friends, etc. that would be great. I can’t do this on my own, so PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE help me!!!!!!! If you are my clients, this will help you out long term b/c I will bring back all the technical knowledge, inspiration, and business savvy to give to you as my wonderful clients. I am racking my brain for every person who has ever said to me, my brother is a photographer, etc. If you don’t know me and are just coming here after seeing my entry to see who I am, I would greatly appreciate your vote too 
This opportunity means the world to me. Even if I don’t win, I am really and truly honored to have been selected as a finalist and to know that Mare has seen my work and made me a finalist is pretty incredible and a little scary too:) It is literally having the person who you respect most in your profession, evaluating your work. If they like it, the biggest high, if they don’t, the biggest low. I know photography is art and you have to work to please yourself to be truly happy, BUT, having other people like your stuff is good too. So, thanks Marmalade Photography for giving me the chance to participate! Voting has started and will last through the weekend. Fingers crossed I can rally the troops on this one… Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
