Devon Jones

Her work has really raised the bar in the teen industry this year.  I am always in awe of what she creates!  Anyone remember that incredible Taylor Swift shoot that had us all drooling last year?  Her creative genius is on fire!

I really felt the need to add a “Lifetime” status option again.  This is picked by me and this year there is one photographer who will be inducted into this category.  This photographer is doing amazing work in this market and continually lifts it up and educates and has provided valuable resources for our Modern Teen Style readers.  She has been on our radar for sometime now and I want to recognize her for the contributions to this industry.  I believe she needs to be recognized for her amazing work.

This name is synonymous with teen photography:

  1. Brooke Daniels

Congratulations to all the winners.  Seriously, the images submitted were amazing and everyone should be proud.  I want to see EVERYONE who submitted featured in Modern Teen Style.  I was blown away and left wondering where have you all been????

xoxo,

Vickie
