It's my anniversary!

I can't believe it has been a year since my first session! To celebrate my one year anniversary- I'm holding my first ever blog contest! It was very hard- but I've narrowed down my favorite 10 pictures from this past year and now it's up to YOU to decide the grand prize winner!

What will they win, you ask?

First Place will get a free session, $50 print credit and an 11x14 Gallery Wrapped Canvas! (my favorite thing!)

Second Place will get a free session and $50 print credit!

Now.... it's time to get voting. Please comment on this post with which picture you think should win. Only one vote per person, please, to keep it fair. You must have a valid name and email address to vote. Voting will be open until Monday, June 9th at 9:00 p.m. (central)

I truly appreciate all of you who helped make my first year a success! I have enjoyed meeting each and every one of you and I hope to photograph your family again soon. Thank you!!!

Carol said...

No question! My vote is #10 because of the "natural" colors. Red hair is gorgious, blue eyes are so distinctly vivid, perfectly shaped pink lips, and that porcelain, rosy skin looks like silk! (the black and white polka dots are a nice accent, too). Personality Plus!!
