It is with an immense sense of joy and pride that I am able to announce that I have been awarded the designation of Craftsman of Photographic Arts by the Professional Photographers of Canada at Awards Gala held in Canmore, AB this past weekend.

Although I was unable to attend the Awards Gala to receive the designation in person, I am eagerly looking forward to receiving my designation package through the mail. The Craftsman of Photographic Arts represents years of dedication to my craft as well as service to the Professional Photographers of Canada.

In order to achieve this Craftsman designation I have dedicated hours and hours reviewing and submitting my work, listening to feedback, experiencing setbacks, picking myself up, learning, pushing myself, and resubmitting my work. And all of the hard work and effort has paid off.

I feel privileged to be part of an association that supports the profession of photography, and I am incredibly honoured to have earned the title of Craftsman of Photographic Arts. This is a fantastic achievement for me, and I a very grateful to everyone who has helped me, supported me and been my client throughout my photography journey. Thank you!
