Remember this little gem from last year?
Well, Saturday night it won two gold medals at the annual Parenting Publications awards ceremony for magazines with a circulation of 55,000 or more (as in, the largest cities in the US) .
Interior Photography (Original)
Gold:
This tremendous piece of documentary photography puts readers in the birthing room. The immediacy and emotion of the images come through, and it is clear that the photographer gained the subjects’ confidence. The images and the text hold together as a tight package. This is a wonderfully strong story.
Feature Layout (Black & White)
Gold:
Elegant photography and typography enhance the beauty of the topic of childbirth. The designer uses plenty of storytelling devices to guide the readers through the package and to invite them into the stories of these two families.

Big, huge, I-owe-you-one thanks go out to fellow photographer and awards ceremony attendee Waynette for calling and texting the night of the ceremony to let me know the piece was not only submitted, but WON GOLD. TWICE!!! I would still be completely unaware that anything had happened if she not recognized my name. XOXO Waynette!!!

You are so talented….it’s nice to see the rest of the world acknowledge it! A much deserved GOLD times two.
Speech! Speech!!
What a well merited award, Jen. You are a phenomenal talent and so unique – I am not the least surprised that you won TWO GOLD! You are always so professional and a joy to work with – thanks for everything you do.
I’m so excited for you, Jen! That’s thrilling news, and definitely well-deserved.
A year later, those pictures still make me cry. You did such a wonderful job telling the story of how these two babies came into the world… oh, how I wish I’d known you before mine were born!
Congratulations on the kudos. And many more…
P.S. When I saw Susan Akins (the midwife in the Joseph story) last month, she was still raving about what a great experience it had been to work with you!
That is one of my favorite articles in Dallas Child. I love how real and raw the pictures are.
Very good job, my friend. You are amazing!!
WOW Jen! Not that I am surprised – your work is amazing! Congrats!!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
You are one of the most amazing photographers I know. I really count myself among the lucky ones to have you here to document our life.
Two gold metals…your work…amazing, breath taking, enchanting…You are a SUPA STAR!!!
hmmm…how to leave a comment without seeming conceited?
what can i say? i love these pictures! i loved this story. partially because it was my story. partially because my story was told so well.
you, my friend, have God-given talent. thank you for telling our story.
and the awards? they are just the icing on the cake, huh? finally…you are getting what you deserve!
Living in Austin, I’m not familiar with Dallas Child, but of course I AM familiar with the genius that is your work.
How brilliant of that publication to hire someone as talented and award-worthy as yourself. I hope their appreciation matches their intellect…but then, looking at your work, how could they not?
CONGRATS!!!
