One of my personal goals as a photographer is to earn the status of “Master Photographer,” a degree recognized by my fellow photographers as a sign of my artistry and skills. The Master of Photography degree is offered by the Professional Photographers of America, the national guild for professional (and serious amateur) photographers who seek to continuously improve their photographic skills. It is also no cake walk. Photographers who want to be known as “Master Photographers” have to pursue a lot of education and also submit work to be evaluated by panels of judges. I have loved this image of one of my clients for so long now, I am beyond thrilled to get to share it with you as a stepping stone on my Master’s journey. 

For my clients, this just helps illustrate my commitment to my craft and my rock-solid determination to never stop learning and improving as a photographer.
