CVPS - First Place Winner!

July 2008 ~ Cuyahoga Valley Photographic Society Annual Photo Contest

I am an active member in the Cuyahoga Valley Photographic Society http://www.cvps.org/. For the 2008 Annual Photography Contest, I was honored with a First Place win in the catagory: People & Activities in the Park.

Thanks to my gorgous little subject, Grace (see "Grace" blog entry), for her help! I was very excited to win this particular catagory because of my portrait work.

The Cuyahoga Valley National Park has a special place in my heart. I am a member of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park Association http://www.cvnpa.org/ and a true advocate. How many people can say they have a National Park in their "backyard?" Get out their and enjoy what's ours. Learn about the Great Blue Heron - go for a hike or a bike ride! Ride the Scenic Railroad http://www.cvsr.com/! In a world that gas prices rule our life, get out of your car and enjoy the natural world that surrounds you!!

First Place - "A State of Grace" / People & Activities in the Park

Tracy & Tom

July 2008 ~ Brecksville, OH

Engagement time is so sweet. Tracy & Tom are going to be saying "I do" in October but I was there to capture all the joy of their engagement time. These two are a country boy & girl that I can only imagine first kissed on a straw bale while dreaming at a full moon.

Wedding packages thru Catherine Widemire Photography can include an Engagement photography session. With Tracy & Tom's Engagement session, they will receive a full size matted & framed photographic piece, to showcase at their wedding reception from their Engagement shoot.

Ozzie & Brutus

June 2008 ~ Cleveland Hts., OH

Meet a pair of Australian Shephards that are two of a kind but so separate in personality. Ozzie (light colored) is sweet and "innocent" and Brutus (dark colored), well - let's just say he's named well.

Baron & Bailey

June 2008 ~ Akron, OH

Word made it's way around my neighborhood pretty quickly that their was a photographer close by! These two little ones are a treasure and when they got in front of my camera, were as adorable as could be! Meet Baron & Bailey!

Marge & Blackie

June 2008 ~ North Royalton, OH

Family pets have always been something near and true to my heart. Marge & Blackie were photographed as a surprise to their owner for her birthday!

Diane

June 2008 ~ North Royalton, OH

Home is where your heart is. For Diane, her love is her beautiful flower garden.

After her shoot, Diane custom matted and framed her images to display as art throughout her home. This will give her year round enjoyment of the thing she loves the most.
