Award Winning Employees

I would like to congratulate Visual Image Photography's four award winning employees!  The Sports Photographers Association of America (SPAA) holds an annual competition for best Digitally Constructed Photographic Image, best Action - Outdoor, best Action - Indoor, best Posed Team, and best Posed Individual.

Meghan Blaney took first place in the Digitally Constructed Photographic Image category.  Not only did Meghan take first place this year, she also took first place in last year's SPAA competition as well!  Here is her 2010 entry:

Becky Kottke took second place in the Digitally Constructed Photographic Image category.  So when you hire Visual Image Photography as your wedding photographer, your album is also being created by one of our award winning designers!  Click here to see some of Meghan and Becky's album designs.
Here is Becky's entry:


Steve LaMaster runs our studio in Wauwatosa.  Steve took second place in the Individual Posed category with this entry:

Brian Hurley won second place in the Action - Outdoor category.  Brian manages our sports action department.  If you didn't know, Visual Image Photography is the official photographer for the WIAA and the IHSA.  Here is Brian's entry:
