Contests are Fun...

.... but prizes are even better!


I need to update the images on my website home page (there are 4 images that alternate every time someone loads the page). I'd really like to use some of my more recent images and decided to do a "review of last year" and choose my favorites from the year 2007. I had a photographer friend help me narrow down my choices. I just couldn't choose! I loved them all. :D My sweet friend selected 8 images she thought represented my work and my style best, but I only have room for 3 more on my website home page. I need your help in choosing the best three!

You and all your friends and family will be able to vote for your favorite images from 12:00am on April 1, 2008 to 11:59pm on April 8, 2008. All you have to do is go to the contact page on my website and enter the number for your favorite image. I will save all the email votes and tally them up after the contest closes. The 3 clients whose images have the most votes will be awarded 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes and will be the 3 new images on my home page.

• First Place - Your choice of either a $25 gift certificate to House of Versaille or a 4x6 leather accordion album including 12 of your favorite images from a past or future session.


• Second Place - A free home movie night! I will hand deliver a basket of goodies for a family movie night just for you. This will include a Hastings gift card worth $10, a six pack of your favorite cola, a small box of microwave popcorn, and a family size bag of M&Ms.


• Third Place - One free 8x10 of your favorite image from a past or future session.
  

Here are the Finalists!

Thank you all for being my elite selection committee!

Fresh, New, Oh So Handsome!

Sweet baby Sawyer was born on the 18th and I had the honor of photographing him on his beautiful mommy's birthday. He was only 10 days old! He was such a good baby too! He let me rearrange him in his family's arms several times, wrapped him in a couple of different blankets and he only tee tee'd once without his diaper on! I am having the hardest time narrowing down the images. I just love them all! Here are three of my favorites though.

Introducing Sawyer Issac:

Little Explorer

I photographed Luke for the first time, when he was still in his mommy's belly. I was so glad to have the opportunity to photograph him again now that he's a walking, climbing, exploring little boy. He warmed up to me and my camera pretty quickly and we had a great time exploring the different sections of our local arboretum. Here are a few of my favorites:

Color Hue Test

As a photographer one pays close attention to light and color. Some of my photographer friends and I were having fun with this Color Hue Test. You dont have to actually enter in any of the information. Mine, may even be in already, I didn't want any junk email, so I gave them bogus info. Then I realized you just click "Take Test Now" button and it takes you there even if all the fields are blank. It's like golf in that the lower the score, the better you did. I'll tell you my score, if you tell me yours. ;) It's really kind of fun.
