INVITED TO CARNEGIE HALL
NEW YORK!
So… In October I was invited to Carnegie Hall in New York! Another amazing moment in my life! The International Photographers Association invited me along to receive certification for winning a Highly Commended award for this image of 3 beautiful English Setters. Narrowly missing out on a top three prize which were claimed by photographers in America & Japan. Not too shabby for a simple portrait photographer from little old Leamington Spa! So happy to be able to offer my customers a truly International service and do so in a way that brings nothing but happiness & joy to everyone!
