We are proud to announce Jessica Pena as the winner of its Fall Photography Contest, a seasonal competition celebrating the creativity and vision of student photographers across the region.
Jessica, a high school student with a growing passion for photography, captured the winning image: a stunning shot of cars traveling down a tree-lined road at the peak of fall foliage. The photo impressed judges with its rich autumn colors, thoughtful composition, and ability to turn a simple moment into a compelling visual story.
Her work was submitted under the guidance of her sponsor, Tara Van Houten, whose encouragement and mentorship played a key role in Jessica’s creative process.
“Jessica’s photo stood out for its mood, movement, and artistry,” said Timothy Harris. “She has a natural eye for finding beauty in everyday scenes, and we’re thrilled to celebrate her talent.”
The Fall Photography Contest is part of an ongoing effort to highlight student creativity and provide a platform for emerging photographers to share their perspectives and grow their craft.
Jessica’s winning photo will be featured on our website, and in upcoming promotional materials for future contests.
