I am pleased to announce that I was awarded the prestigious Gerhard Bakker award this year at Imaging USA. This award “may be presented annually to an individual, school, company or organization that best epitomizes outstanding service through education in the field of photography and visual communications” and I am honored to be the recipient. I am incredibly blessed to have met, and become friends with so many exceptional photographers through Professional Photographers of America and I can’t even begin to tell you how much I have learned from you throughout the years. So thank you, my extended family, for such a memorable evening.
Congratulations. I believe it is the Professional Photographers of America.

Congratulations you certainly deserve this award. I have learn’t so much from you from your excellent videos on Lightroom and Photoshop. You have such a clear and easy way of presenting the material that makes it very easy to follow along and then do what you have been teaching. Well done
+1 to all of the above!
It is about time that they recognized you 😉
You know that you have also the audience award, for your skills, artistic sensibility, clarity, patience, knowledge, and talent!
Congratulations… well deserved and well done!
Congrats! I have seen you present many times. You bring humor and a true love of the programs into each presentation. I can’t think of anyone better to recieve this honor. I look forward to the next presentation.
You deserve it for all your fantastic and artistic videos that we all learn so much from!
I am almost late to the party but please accept my heartfelt congratulations, too. They could not have selected a more deserving person.
Yay!!! Congratulations, Julieanne. You totally rock. (Let’s do another book on our own one of these days. The last one was fun.)
Hooray! Very well deserved! Congratulations!
Wow! Everyone is being so kind! Thank you all so much for your encouragement. Honestly though, the credit should go to so many people. There is an entire team of brilliant engineers that make the killer products I get to talk about, superb product managers that keep it all on track and keep me “in the know”, a very talented video production team that make sure that I don’t drone on forever, AND excellent editors that really know how to make me sound good. I am truly thankful to all that are involved. : )

You are a wonderful teacher, a gifted photographer, and a warm and thoughtful person.
Very well deserved, dear Julieanne!
Yes! You’re the best +Julieanne! You deserve it! Thanks for helping me learn!
That is fantastic news +Julianne! They couldn’t have picked anyone who deserves it more. You are a fantastic teacher and a role model for the rest of us.
Well done Julieanne, you’re too humble!
Very well deserved. I always introduce your videos to my classes as great resources and the very good work of “My Hero.” I’m glad other people have the good sense to recognize your great value to the photo community.
The recipient was deserving, graceful and elegant. The dress and shoes were stunning. At least that was the talk I overheard in the hallway after the awards.
Congatulations !
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer person! I love your tips/tricks and tutorials–they’re always easy to follow and apply.
