March Photographer Contest!

It’s that time again….  The Bella monthly contest post is a great place not only to see what amazing things our photographers are doing but also to gain some inspiration for your own work!  We all get stuck in a rut sometimes and get bored with our own routine.  Never hesitate to try out something another photographer has done; In the photography world, this is not stealing an idea.  It is taking something and making it your own!

On to our winners…..

For Bella Life this month 1st PLACE goes to Lauren Kennedy; 1st row [Washington] and 2nd PLACE goes to Mary Kalhor; 2nd row [Washington].  Honorable Mention is awarded to Carol DeAnda; 3rd row [Illinois].
