AND THE WINNER IS… | Winner of the Holiday Mini-Session Give-Away
When you tell two toddlers to “dress-up because we’re about to do something special”, you have to prepare yourself for what may take place. My daughter wanted to wear an elf hat and zebra-print socks for this give-away drawing and, well, my son opted for a stethoscope. Only the finest for our fans, right?!
We stirred up these names together, then my daughter closed her eyes, scooped some up, stirred them again, almost sent my glass bowl tumbling down my brick stairs, and picked one name out.
Warmest congratulations to….
My thanks to each contestant and the number of friends and family who helped them in this contest! I am offering a $100 print credit to ALL of the other contestants if they choose to book a Holiday Mini-Session. Please contact me as soon as possible, as I only have a few remaining session times for the remainder of 2010. Happy weekend, everyone!
And the winner is… | Frederick, Maryland Portrait Photographer
My kids wore their finest for this big event, folks. My son sporting his tie shirt, and my daughter thoughtfully chose her fairy wings, tutu, purple high heels, and construction hat.
My daughter stirred the entries like a soup and quickly picked one out…
Warmest congratulations to…
James and Danelle Sergent!!! I believe they are on a vacation right now, so I do hope they see this while they’re enjoying time away.
James and Danelle went through two years of infertility combined with failed IVF treatments. After this struggle, they were thrilled to welcome a baby boy into their hearts and home through adoption. Two months after he was born, the birth mother requested him back. Along this painful journey, James and Danelle discovered they were pregnant–without fertility treatments–and due this September. I look forward to helping them celebrate this incredibly special time in their lives!
My thanks to each contestant and the number of friends and family who helped them in this contest! I am offering a $100 print credit to ALL of the other contestants if they choose to book a session before the end of the year.
