After much anticipation, a winner has been chosen for the Diana Levine Creative Invite!  Based out of New York, celebrity and music photographer, Diana Levine teamed up with us to provide an amazing opportunity for aspiring photographers. The Creative Invite asked that those in the Talenthouse photography community submit two of their best photographs showcasing their knowledge of lighting and personal creativity.

With over 300 photographers presenting their work, Diana faced quite a challenge in sorting through all of the submissions. But after a lot of sleepless nights she was able to select Kacy Kizer as the photographer she felt best represented what she was looking for.

“I chose Kacy for my Talenthouse competition because she seems like she’s got a great mix of talent, personality, and smarts. I’m looking forward to having her assist on one of my shoots! It was a hard choice. There were so many amazing people who applied, and I loved looking through everyone’s work. It was an awesome experience working with Talenthouse!,” says Diana.

Currently living in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, Kacy is a graduate from Oregon State University where she received her B.S. in Photography, where she was also the photo editor of the daily-run student newspaper. She is a senior portrait and wedding photographer and has photographed destination weddings in many locations including Vermont, Hawaii, Tensing Pen in Negril, Jamaica; Auberge de Soleil in Napa Valley; Casa Romantica in San Clemente, California; Las Vegas; and Seattle.

As the selected photographer, Kacy will now have the chance to work with Diana and assist her on an up and coming celebrity photo shoot – how exciting! Congrats, Kacy… we cannot wait to hear about this experience.

Diana was very impressed by the rest of the submissions, as were we, and we encourage you to keep on pursuing your dreams!  Also, please check out our newest photography Invite with rising musician, Caitlin Moe.  Thanks for your support!
