The pictures came out great and really captured the unique personality of each boy. Thanks, Paul! &#8212; D.C.<\/p>\n<p>Paul was so wonderful with our twins. He let them &#8220;be kids&#8221; and still captured beautiful pictures while they were together playing and splashing in the water. He is very kind and patient as well.\u00a0 &#8212; S.V.<\/p>\n<p>Paul created the most beautiful photos of my daughter with her children. I have never seen any one else capture their specialness. His work captivates.\u00a0 &#8212; V.F.<\/p>\n<p>Paul took pictures of my 3 year old triplets &#8211; he did a fantastic job. He picked a good setting, and we can&#8217;t be happier. Getting three 3 year olds to do anything is a feat &#8211; but to get some great pictures of them, showing their &#8220;natural&#8221; smiles was wonderful.\u00a0 &#8212; E.R.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WDIV Detroit 4, the local NBC affiliate, is in their last week of the &#8220;4 the Best&#8221; competition and I am still in the running for the Best Portrait Photography category!\u00a0 This has been an amazing experience and I am so thankful that I was nominated for it.\u00a0 I must admit the whole event has [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[40,24,13,15,1086,41,3],"sp_smart_badges":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-369","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-contests","7":"tag-contest","8":"tag-michigan-photographer","9":"tag-michigan-photography","10":"tag-photographer","11":"tag-photography","12":"tag-photography-contest","13":"tag-portraits","14":"entry"},"aioseo_notices":[],"featured_image_src":null,"featured_image_src_square":null,"author_info":{"display_name":"Paul Manoian","author_link":"https:\/\/www.paulmanoian.com\/photography\/author\/manoian\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.paulmanoian.com\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/369","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.paulmanoian.com\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.paulmanoian.com\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.paulmanoian.com\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.paulmanoian.com\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=369"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.paulmanoian.com\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/369\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.paulmanoian.com\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=369"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.paulmanoian.com\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=369"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.paulmanoian.com\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=369"},{"taxonomy":"sp_smart_badges","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.paulmanoian.com\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sp_smart_badges?post=369"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
