Jeff and Carolle make state photography history!

We are proud to announce that Carolle has earned her Master of Photography degree from Professional Photographers of America! Carolle was awarded her degree Tuesday at the Imaging USA Conference in San Antonio, Texas. Jeff was overjoyed with the honor of presenting Carolle with her Master's in a formal ceremony during the conference.

If that's not exciting enough, Jeff and Carolle are the first married couple in New Hampshire to earn individual Master of Photography degrees (Jeff earned his in 2009)--- less than 3% of national PPA members hold the Master's distinction (and now we have two at the studio!).

The degree is awarded only to photographers who have achieved "superior competence" as demonstrated through advanced education in the art of photography, work submitted to competition and service to the profession. Recipients must qualify for this degree through a series of merit earnings and art submissions.

Please join us in congratulating Carolle- we're so proud of her!
