 This is Megan, one of the identical twin sisters of my daughter-in-law. This was taken a few years ago but she will be stoked that her photo did so well.

Now she is none other than Tinkerbell at Disney World in Orlando. So, if you happen to see this lovely Tinkerbell there, tell her how pretty she is, and that I love her :)

GeorgesBogaert THANK YOU for my first ever Blue Dragon Award! You made me very happy this week :)

You got one more 1 than me! Truly I’d love to know why people thought it was worth a one.I’m glad it didn’t affect your placing.

Hands down the best image, probably one of your best portraits ever. You’ve always been an amazing photographer Sandy.

A HUGE congratulations.
