Congratulations to our award winning photographers!

Each Spoiled Rotten Photographer is dedicated to improving their skills .  Image competition is a way for our photographers to gain recognition for their work and it is very much an exercise in learning!  Each image was scored on a scale of 1-100.  Portraits scoring 80 or above earned the distinction of “Image of Excellence.”  Judges critiqued each image based on the five characteristics of a Spoiled Rotten Portrait:   Award Winning Images

  1. It is Authentic

  2. It is technically Excellent

  3. It has flattering Posing

  4. It is Impactful

  5. It has pleasing Composition

Thank you to our esteemed master portrait artists and judges, Cyndi Hornsby and Donna Berryhill
