We have a winner folks!  I am so excited for everyone.

Here is the first prize winner: Miss Lena <3 with over 140 votes! :O  This wins her (or her mama ) a mounted 11×14 of this photo plus a complimentary session in 2010!  (value of $180!)

Second place goes to Mr Matthew with over 80 votes. I think this constitutes a prize as well.  $75 print credit  with full, regular session done in 2010.

And Third Place goes to the P family with over 40 votes.  They win a $25 Print Credit for a full, regular session in 2010.  

CONGRATS to you all!  And, because all of you guys are winners in my eyes…the rest of the contestants will receive 10% off your total print order when booking a full session in 2010.  Yay!

And one more giveaway–the random drawing.

Update 2:  Please make sure you are casting your vote in the comments section on THIS post!  I have had lots of emails casting votes, so if you have emailed me, please comment here to cast your vote.  I’ve had many votes cast in other posts as well, which I will count but please try to keep it to this post only, it will make it that much easier to get a consistent vote count.  Thank you!

UPDATE: Wow!  What an awesome response this contest is getting!  I LOVE it!  Keep the votes coming!

Happy New Year to all of my fantastic followers out there!  I hope it finds you warm, safe, happy and healthy.  We rang in the New Year here at home with the Inlaw’s and it couldn’t have been more relaxing and enjoyable. 

I thought I would try something new to ring in 2010.
There are so many pictures this year that I just adore, I have such stylish and gorgeous clients! Instead of me just picking my favorite, I thought I would have you help me.

Below are some of my personal favorites of 2009. I would like you to vote on which YOU think is the best. Each has a number. You can simply comment with the number, or say why you love the picture, if you know the person(s) in the picture, etc. It’s up to you!
Those who are nominated can vote for themselves, they can email every one they know to vote for them, but please only vote once per person! The more people you ask to come by the contest and vote, the better chance you have of winning……

A complimentary session for 2010, and the winning picture on a 11×14 mount.

To sweeten the deal, I will randomly pull a number from random.org, and that comment number will ALSO win a complimentary session for 2010! So it is critical when you comment to add your real email address when it ask for it.
Are you ready?
Ready.

Please use the number that is to the top left of each picture.
