Capture Memphis

Last May, I submitted some pictures to the Capture Memphis website. This website is sponsored by The Commercial Appeal (local newspaper) and I'm Ready, ReadyShelby.org (public awareness website).

The book release party was last night. We all knew which photographers made the book, but did not know which pictures would be published. They put up a screen and had a slideshow for all of the published photos. I will admit, I got butterflies when my picture flashed on the screen!

Here are the stats:
17,301 photos were submitted
464 photographers
709,149 votes

So out of 17,000 photos, only 200+ made the final cut. Without further ado, here is my published photo...


Photobucket

I was actually pretty shocked to see this picture! Especially since it was one of my very first photo shoots (that did not involve my own kids)! However, it is still one of my favorite portraits.
