The Monochrome Awards is an international photography competition honouring the best in black and white photography.

Kari submitted three of her child portraitures into the competition, which attracted 5,600 submissions from 89 countries.

It was Kari’s first entry in a photography competition, and all three photographs, including the winning one in the portrait category, were taken at the nature reserve in Mobberley.

Kari said: “While I’m unbelievably proud of the photographs I create for myself and my clients, photography is a tough, competitive profession to be in.

“So it took an enormous amount of bravery for me to bite the bullet and submit my images into this auspicious competition, and I wasn’t expecting to be given any recognition.

“So when I received an email announcing that the winners of the awards had been selected I felt disappointment that my photographs obviously hadn’t made the grade.

“But then I clicked on the link to see who the lucky prize winners were, and there it was - Suburban Warrior 2 - my photograph, amongst the work of talented, professional photographers from all over the world.

“I’d been awarded an Honourable Mention for my portrait - it was one of my proudest photography moments to date.”
