Before we get to the finalist in the annual Favorite’s Contest. Here is some of the basic info…

VOTING:

This year voting will take place on my Facebook business page. The way to vote is to simply “like” your favorite photo. Every “like” counts as one vote.  And you are welcome to do this to as many of the contest photos as you want. While comments are fun and you’re welcome to leave them, the votes are only cast by “liking” the photo. At the bottom of this post you will find link to the Facebook contest album. Please note that if you haven’t already, you will have to “like” my page to be able to participate in the contest. So head over there and vote!

THE PRIZE:

The prize for this year is bigger and better than ever! The winner of the contest will receive a handmade leather album filled with twenty 5×7′s from the session during which the winning photograph was taken.

Now don’t you hate it when a reality television show is about to announce an elimination or winner; and they have to drag it out with a long pause and the inevitable commercial break? Maybe I should cue some overly dramatic music and stop the post right here.
Naah!
So here we go…starting with the photo that came in 3rd place.
Second place goes to:

Runners-Up to the 2010 Contest 0

My favorite time of year on the blog has become the annual favorite photo contest, and the 2010 edition is only days away! I had more trouble than ever this year narrowing it down to the final 12 contest photos.  I even solicited the help of my mom and three sisters because I was staring at 21 photos not wanting to cut a single one!
The photos that made the final cut were the ones that spoke to me the most as pieces of art. I loved the lighting or the perspective. However, this fall when our own family photos were taken by a friend of mine, it was funny how different I looked at those photos compared to how I look at a client’s photos.  Suddenly I found myself scrutinizing the look on my child’s face or whether or not the position I was in made me look like I’d eaten a case of donuts before the shoot. So I understand that my favorite may not have been your favorite, and that’s why this year’s first place prize is a $75 print credit toward anything from the session the winning photo was taken during.
My plan is to have the contest up and running on Friday; but for now, here’s the first of two installments of some of the photos that were runners-up…
