Best New Emerging Child Photographer 2012: Time to VOTE!!

After pouring through over 700 nominations, it is very clear that our community has some big stars on the horizon. We were so impressed with the overwhelming amount of talented nominees and know that each and every one of you has a bright future ahead.  So without further ado, we are very pleased to introduce our Top 5 Finalists!

Anne Kerr (Anja Photography)Anja Photography is a Natural light, on-location photography, specializing in baby, children, and family portraiture. Anne primarily works out of the Northwest suburbs and the Chicago North Shore. From her website: “It’s about the clock that stops only when a moment is captured. It’s about the flood tide of remembrance, revealed in shadows and light. Transcendence. It’s about your unrepeatable beauty. Your spirit. It’s about seeing what’s in your heart. It’s about time. This is why I love what I do.”

Emily Schofield (Emily Sara Boutique Photography) – Emily is a natural light photographer working in the Bay Area of California. From her website: ” I see something magical about light and the way it shapes the human spirit – similar to the way light in a photograph shapes the mount of a newborn baby or a laughing child. I adore the way kids can wear anything and look so cute…so free. I am also a sucker for tiny toes, little hands, and sleeping babies. And, I am constantly in awe of how eyes really say so much about a person’s soul. For me, photography freezes all that I see and love in a moment of time. “
Melissa Weicker (Melissa Weicker Photography) Melissa Weicker is a portrait photographer based out of Whitecourt, Alberta. From her website: “I am Inspired by: Skylar and Ava, my two awesome kiddos. I Dream of: selling our house and belongings (keeping only necessities) and traveling, educating, and experiencing the world with our children.”

Anne Scherrer (Anne Scherrer Photography) – Anne is a French, natural light photographer based out of Washington D.C. From her website: “Every single day I am thankful to have this opportunity to create images that capture people with emotion and authenticity.”

Jenni Jones (Jenni Jones Photography) – Jenni Jones is a portrait photographer working in Austin, TX. From her website: “I love taking photos of everything; my passion is not specific to people or places or things.  I love it all.  That being said, nothing compares to the feeling of being able to give someone a memory of a special time in their life.  Color me fulfilled.”
