2011 Photo of the year Contest- Vote Here

Posted in Studio News

It’s time for my 4th annual contest!  Every year it is the most difficult task to narrow down my favorite images (this year I shot 170 sessions for clients which means over 5,000 images!)   I am truly grateful to all of my clients for choosing me to capture their families and I am honored to have my work displayed in so many homes.  This year I have been fortunate to have had my work featured in The Ridgewood News and Bergen Health & Life Magazine. Being named the reader’s choice Best Photographer in Bergen County was certainly a highlight of my year.  Having my very own beautiful studio in downtown Ridgewood is a dream come true and I am so excited about 2012.

 

There will be THREE winners!

(1) The client whose image has the most votes will receive a complimentary 11 x 14 canvas or gallery mount of either the image from this contest or an image of their choice from an upcoming 2012 session they have with me.  Scroll down to cast your vote AFTER the last image.

(2) The 2nd place winner will receive a $100 gift certificate to put towards a session in 2012.

(3) Leave a comment on this blog post (scroll down under the last image).  A comment will be selected at random and the person who submitted the comment will receive a FREE Mini Session!!  The winner may either keep the prize for themselves or gift to a friend.  The Mini Session will be at the studio in Ridgewood between January and May 1 2012 and you will receive 3  5×7 mini mounts.

For winner #3 one comment per person but earn an extra entry by posting about the contest on your Facebook wall

 

Voting will begin NOW and end on January 8th at 8pm EST.
IP addresses will be monitored – only 1 vote per person
Results will not be visible on the poll and I will announce the winner on January 8th just after 8pm
