Photo of the Year Contest

So I am done with sessions for the year so I thought it would be fun to have a photo contest.  I’m going to put up some of my favorite photos from the year and let you readers vote for which one is your favorite.  The owner of the winning picture will get a free 8×10 canvas of that photo.  To vote you must leave a comment and in the comment leave the title of the photo that is your favorite.  You can get friends and family to help you vote.  I will close the voting on Friday night at midnight so get started!  (One vote per person, please.)  🙂

Show It!

My session got rained out this morning 🙁 so I thought that this would be a good time to show some ways to show your pictures in your home.  I just ordered a ton of prints, canvases and mounted prints for our own house because we just didn’t have any family pictures up around the house.  I felt like it was such a shame.  I’m a photographer and I have great pictures stored on my computer of my Mya and none of them were hanging up!  So here are some examples of things you can do with your photos!  These you can order through ezprints.com right now or you can order these through me starting in January from your on-line gallery.

This is a canvas that I ordered for Mya’s room:

This is a side view.  It’s so cool because the picture is wrapped around the canvas.

This is a mounted print that I ordered for our entry:

This is a side view.  It’s very thin and you can order it ready to be hung.  It’s so easy and it looks great!

I also ordered one for our bathroom.  It’s a canvas of this picture, but the lighting in our bathroom is just awful so no actual picture of the canvas.

These are some more creative ways to showcase your photos.  I know that a lot of people are unaware that these even exist!  They, of course, cost more than prints on paper, but they look amazing in your home and can make a big impact, especially in large prints!

Newborn pictures coming tomorrow from this family.  I’m so excited!! So check back tomorrow for some good old fashion baby chub because he is one big boy!

Tonight I got to take pictures for a friend and her husband who are expecting their first baby boy.  This was the quickest session I have ever done because a storm was a-brewin’ off in the distance and there was some pretty crazy lightening happening!  But Cynthia was AWESOME with a capital “A”!  She was up for anything I asked her to do and had a lot of her own ideas too.  She was so much fun and so free spirited.  She worked it!!  If you say that you’ve ever seen a more beautiful pregnant woman, you are lying!  😉  She is so gorgeous.  Just imagine what that baby boy is going to look like.  Watch out girls!!  Thank you guys for being so open to my quirky ideas!  I hope you love your pictures!site11site10site9site8site3site7site6

Sweet MaMa

This morning I met up with a friend of mine who I used to work with.  I recently took pictures of her boys, but this time, it was all about her and her new baby boy who will be here in November!  How exciting!  I can’t wait!  I also took some senior pictures of her son, which I will also be posting coming up.  🙂
