Beautiful Human Award
[ 2017 FOR PHOTOGRAPHY ]
An award showcasing those that have played “a significant role in shaping the Twin Cities arts and entertainment industry”. Recognized for “telling the stories of artistic passions and work through the lens, by placing the audience in the front row seat to a unique perspective”.
This was a lovely evening connecting with so many people within the arts and entertainment industry. Some I have been honored to work with, some I aspire to. But, it was such a treat to share the experience with one of my assistants who has worked with me on so many fashion and community events - my daughter Ari.
