Some of you may remember a story I posted back on my blog in December titled, "Olive." It was a story very near and dear to my heart, and I recently entered it into a few contests in hopes of being able to spread the joy that Olive and the rest of the Werth family brought me. Surprisingly enough, I'm pleased to say that I won the Dean's Award in the Missouri School of Journalism's Mastering the Method contest, and also placed ninth in the Hearst Journalism Awards Picture Story/Photo Series Photojournalism II competition.
While refining my edit for the submissions, I found a few outtakes that hadn't made the cut for my previous blog post and didn't quite fit into the contest edits, but I wanted to share them anyways. Enjoy!
And lastly, two photos from my iPhone... Olive became quite enamored with my Nikon D3 and insisted on having me teach her how to take photos with it. Also, a little #selfie action, because why not?
