After a thrilling judging period and hopeful excitement, I am absolutely elated to announce my first place and image of merit in the National Association of Professional Child Photographers (NAPCP) 2018 International Image Competition! The NAPCP International Image Competition is unique in that it focuses entirely on child and family photography. The NAPCP International Image Competition features the following categories: Babies, Newborn, Children, Family, Maternity, Siblings, Toddlers, and Seniors. Thank you to the fabulous judges who took time out of their busy schedules to critique, deliberate, judge and score the hundreds of submissions. Images are scored based on technical merit, creativity, composition, and impact.

This year's panel of luminary judges includes Kirsten Lewis, Becca Wohlwinder, Diogo Loureiro, Anne Simone, and Michael Howard. Thank you!
