We're Baaaack!





We just got back from the Prof. Photographers of Iowa winter Convention in Des Moines. What a blast. Mindy and I both participated in a state wide print competition, helping behind the scenes and also having our prints judged. How did we do? Awesome....... Mindy won first place in the Outdoor Groups Catagory with "A Private Affair" and first place in the Indoor Woman category for "Graceful Lines". She was also recognized as one of the Top Ten Photographers in Iowa. As for me, I won first place in the Outdoor Child category with "Bashful Beauty" and first place in the Outdoor Woman category with "Covergirl". I also won first place in the Digital Competition and received a Kodak Gallery Award for that same print. We also won third place for a multi-maker album. We were on fire! As for some other highlights from our trip, We participated in a lip-sync contest where Mindy and I dressed as male rappers. Mindy was really convincing. All-in-all the weekend was so much fun and we can't wait for our regioanl competition called Heart of America in Council Bluffs, IA.


This weekend we will be attending Bravo! dance competition in Ames. Good luck to all of the Nolte Dancers, we will be rooting for you. See you there!

Way to go girls! You are awesome and I love the prints. What fun you must have had each time they called your names. Keep up the great work and treasure the relationship the two of you have! Teamwork.........well, it is so helpful having a buddie to toss ideas around with plus you give each other encouragement and support. Linda Drish
