We had so many incredible submissions this week, and nothing makes us happier than seeing the art this community creates. Choosing just one Artist of the Year was nearly impossible. Yet this image stood apart — creative, playful, and shining a light on a family with middle to older children, an age so rarely captured in such an out-of-the-box way.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEWEST UNRAVELED ARTIST OF THE YEAR…
Melissa Agnew
Each week we receive so many beautiful submissions, and this image—so creative, warm, and unexpected—stood apart. t’s inventive and playful, breaking free of the traditional mold while honoring a stage of family life that is too often overlooked — the middle to older years.
We’re thrilled to name Melissa Shearer our Artist of the Year, and it’s easy to see why. Melissa brings a rare combination of heart and curiosity to her work. She doesn’t just capture what’s in front of her — she listens, imagines, and collaborates with the families she photographs, inviting them into scenes that feel lived-in, poetic, and full of life. Her gentle eye, respect for individuality, and fearless creativity help her find exceptional beauty in moments most people walk right past.
Congratulations Melissa! And to all of the featured artists!
