A St Albans photographer has won national accolades at this year’s Guild of Professional Photographers Awards.
Stephanie Belton, a baby, children and family photographer was named one of the UK's top ten “People Photographers”.
She was a runner up in the Image of the Year Award.
The Hazelmere Road resident said: "I am absolutely thrilled and would like to thank both the guild and my customers for their amazing support throughout the past year.”
Ms Belton was also awarded a place in the “Photographers Bar”, a unique distinction that very few photographers have received.
Stephanie has been photographing families in and around St Albans, Harpenden and Wheathampstead since 2005 and has trained and mentored other professional photographers.
