Announcing the winners of my 1st annual photo contest!!!
I was suprised at how many entries I received! Thank you all for taking the time to look at my site and enter my photo contest. There were so many adorable kids, it was REALLY hard to choose the winners. Without the help of my judges, I never would have been able to choose, so thank you judges! Ok, so we have decided on six first prize winners. I had to split up the 1-3 age group into two, because it was impossible to choose with all those cuties, so there are now six categories instead of five. These first prize winners each received a gift certificate for a free session and a $100 credit toward their order. Congratulations! We also decided on a 2nd prize winner for each category, who will each receive a free session. Runners up are listed with the second prize winners below, because they were the ones we had narrowed it to in the end before choosing the winners, and I thought they should also be mentioned. Ok, here you have it!

Abigail Mary Block
1st prize for 0-12 month category

It was those big blue eyes and adorable smile that won over our judges!

Rilynn Reed

First prize for 1 yr category
That innocent face and great sense of style is what took Rilynn to the top!

Thank you for visiting! I love what I do, and am honored to share it with you! I've been a photographer for 12 years and am loving it! I started out working in studios where I gained experience while learning and developing my skills independently. I've taken various classes on a variety of photography related topics to enhance what I'd already learned from experience. I began working on location independently part time in 2001 with dreams to open my own studio down the road. After I became mom to my first daughter Nina in 2005, I decided to take another big step and go full time with my business. I'm so glad I did!
