Out of 8 images entered, all 8 received a mark over 80, her highest score being 86.
One of the leading judges, Ken Sklute, was so taken by one of her images that his own personal score was 94.

Simone comments. “This has really given my confidence a boost. To have your work judged by truly international professional photographers who I respect and admire, means so much to me. I will be taking their comments onboard and searching for new ways to refine my work so that, this year, I can provide my clients with new and innovative images of their children and weddings.”

Simone had one last surp0rize in store for her on the final Awards night at Bally’s, Las Vegas. One of her prints took 3rd place in the Premiere category!!
