LiveJoy Photography, a locally owned and operated Salem and Portland newborn photography studio serving families throughout the greater Willamette Valley since 2013, has been recognized as a Top 100 artist in the 2025 Inspired Print Competition hosted by the National Association of Portrait & Child Photographers (NAPCP).
The international competition celebrates artistic excellence, technical mastery, and emotional storytelling in professional portrait photography. Blackman’s image was selected in the Connections category and was displayed at the Inspired by NAPCP Gallery Event & Print Competition in Atlanta, Georgia on January 28th.
Blackman’s award-winning portrait, titled “You Had Me at Hello,” stood out among international submissions for its refined simplicity and representation of early connection.
“For me, newborn photography has always been about connection in its most honest form,” said Lindsay Blackman, Owner and Lead Photographer of LiveJoy Photography in Oregon. “There is something incredibly pure about a brand new baby — the stillness, the trust. To have that kind of work recognized nationally is deeply meaningful.”
