Happy New Year!! It’s time for my 7th annual photo contest! Every year it is such a challenge to narrow down my favorite images from the past 12 months. In 2014 I shot 172 client sessions so I literally had thousands of 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. I am so grateful to all of you and I am so excited about 2015.
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 2015 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 2015.
(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 my studio in Ridgewood between January and May 1 2015 and you will receive 3 5×7 mini mounts.
for winner #3, one comment per person but you can earn a second entry by sharing the link to the contest on your Facebook wall. Just come back and post a second comment.
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
