We always love this time of year and looking back at all of our past sessions!  It’s a little bitter-sweet as we enter our “slow” season.  Being on-location photographers, these cold months slow down our outside sessions, but it’s a perfect time for our basic business housekeeping (too bad I can’t do this to my house.)  Looking back on our sessions we had a few laughs and remembered lots of perfect moments.  That’s what we hope you see when you look at your family pictures for years to come!  Some of our favorites show sweet moments between parents and kids, loving kisses between young couples, goofy moments at weddings, and those looks that don’t need any words to explain.  Now narrowing these down to our favorite 10 is never easy.  We have so many favorite clients (I know, I know.  We’re not supposed to say that but hopefully you know who you are) and so many favorite pictures to go through.  With that said, let’s get to the rules.

Help us pick a winner by voting on our Facebook page for your favorite photo and/or by leaving a comment below telling us why the photo is your favorite.  The photo with the most combined “likes” on our Facebook page and blog comments will win. The winner will receive a free 16×20 canvas (a $180 value) of their photo.

To vote:

Leave a comment below telling us the photo number of your favorite and why it is your favorite. (Keep in mind that all comments must be approved by us before they show up.  This may take a few hours at times.)

Some kind words from a few brides we have had the honor to work with:

“Just wanted to let you know that the album is beautiful!  Somehow I look much younger and prettier than I really am.  Didn’t know they had a lens for that!  Seriously–great job!” -Barbara Robertson, March 13, 2009

All the work you’ve done has been beyond wonderful. You were able to capture us in our true form, our style and who we are. The word “perfect” isn’t close to the work you both have done and Thank You just isn’t even enough.” -Andrea Gardner, May 29, 2009

“We LOVED the pictures!!!!!!  We can’t wait to see all of them!  Thank you so much for being a part of our wedding, you made it very special!” – Dan O’Connor, June 12, 2009
