In 2011 Maggie Conley enters her 15th year of photography. She studied at Penn State University, serving a term as a documentary photographer in Peru with a biological research team. Upon her graduation in 1997, she relocated in New York and worked under Geographic photographer Steve McCurry and alongside his colleagues at Magnum Photos. Street photography had always been her passion, photographing in seaside Latin American towns, trailer parks in central Pennsylvania, and circus performers in France. In 1999, Maggie began turning inward and photographing her own family. This created an appreciation for family heirlooms and ultimately launched her business shooting weddings and family portraits. She is an award winning WPJA photographer and a proud shooter of film and medium format cameras. Her style of photojournalism has her street aesthetic tangled up with her personal whimsical sensibility.

The Wedding Photojournalist Association proudly recognizes the accomplishments and creative excellence of Maggie Conley. The following awards have been earned by Maggie from the WPJA. These achievements come with great merit considering the high level of competition that a member faces in the contests.
