COLORADO SPRINGS — A picture is worth a thousand words and for a local photographer, that meant receiving $1,000 dollars for a picture she took. She recently won two national awards for her work by the National Photographers of America.
Shannon Squires-Toews owns Squires Co-Op Studio which opened in July 2020. It's where she took the award-winning photo.
She won first place in one category, then first place overall among 5,000 entries.
"We could compare this to the Superbowl. It is the highest honor you can get within the Professional Photographers of America," said Squires-Toews. "They announced my image took the overall award and I burst into tears. It was a surreal. I'm still just in a little bit disbelief."
