Happy New Year!! It’s time for my 6th annual photo contest! Every year it is nearly impossible for me to narrow down my favorite images from the past 12 months. In 2013 I shot 165 client sessions which means there were over 6,000 images to go through! When I started my business in 2007 I never imagined that I would one day get to photograph hundreds of families. I am so honored that families have driven from all over New Jersey, NYC and even Pennsylvania to my beautiful studio in Ridgewood. This year I had 70 teeny tiny newborns come in to my studio to be photographed during that most special and fleeting time. I am so grateful to all of you and I am so excited about 2014.
There will be three winners!
(1) The client whose image has the most votes will receive a complimentary 11 x 14 gallery mount of either the image from this contest or an image of their choice from an upcoming 2014 session. 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 2014.
(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 2014 and you will receive 3 5×7 mini mounts.
For winner #3, one comment per person but earn an extra entry by sharing the link to the contest on your facebook wall
Voting will begin NOW and end on January 7th 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 7th just after 8pm

All the photos are amazin! But I’m voting for #18
I babysat the mother’s of the kids in pics 18 and 31. My how they have grown up! I am so proud of them.
There is absolutely nothing more precious in life than a father’s love for his daughter! That picture of “daddy’s hands” should be done again when she is a grown woman, he will hold her just the same.
Great shots as always! Hard to pick but really love all the sibling shots, especially #30 and #39.
#39 takes the cake!
I think these 3 wining faces radiate a beautiful loving family.
It’s a beautiful portrait of tenderness and love.
#39 is my favorite! Love their smile!
Twins are twice as fantastic!
They are all beautiful pictures. To pick a favorite, I’d have to chose #39.
My cousins best friends baby
