To all of my clients who have supported me and trusted me with capturing their lives in this past year of business, I have put together this competition as my way of saying ‘thank you’ to you all. I have enjoyed working with each and every one of you, and look forward to working with you again in future.
The competition is simple! Below I have posted my favourite image from each client session, and the image that receives the most votes posted in the ‘comments’ section at the bottom of this post, will win!
The prize? The winning client will receive one 16×20 inch matted and mounted handmade photograph of their winning image. The first runner up will receive one 8×10 inch matted and mounted handmade photograph of their image.
This competition begins July 1 2008 and closes August 5 2008.
:: The Rules ::
1. To vote please state the image number as noted at the top of each image, (eg. Entry #1) in the comments section at the bottom of this post. (Votes made by email or phone cannot be counted towards the final vote).
2. Only one vote per person will be accepted
3. Clients can vote once for their image.
4. The winning entry will be announced on this blog on Wednesday August 6 2008 with the winner advised personally by email.

You make it tough to choose, Renee. I’d like to make it a tie but since I can only pick one…#10. Still my favorite image from you – it conveys so much emotion. It’s one of my all-time fave maternity shots. :)

This is my favourite shot of John and Mitch. The love in Johns eyes and the excitement on Mitchys face – simply adorable.

You cant go past how proud John looks when looking at Mitch, it is a true joy to behold. Father and Son, nothing gets better, unless its mother and son. (sorry Donna)

Entry #12 John & Mitch, 3 weeks
Mitch seems to be saying “So tell me daddy, what does the future hold for me?”
“Well son, together we will slay dragons, play lots of golf and love and cherish Mummy”.
This picture to us is the essence of evolution.

#12 Beautiful shot, it feels like we are privy to a private moment between father and son
Comment by jacqui — July 26, 2008 @ 3:47 am
While #12 is really gorgeous, my personal favourite (and my vote) goes to #9 as I think it really captures the joy of both mum and dad waiting for their precious baby to arrive.
