Runners-Up to the 2010 Contest

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...

Drawing Winner Announced

A BIG thank you to all who put there name in for our "Beautiful Cause" drawing!
I decided to do the drawing of the name the old fashion way and had my oldest (pictured below) pull out a name from a bowl. And the name he drew was....
...Lauren Miller!
Thanks again to those who participated. I'm touched by the people that wanted to support this family in their adoption fund.

For a Beautiful Cause!

Remember this beautiful family?
Photobucket
Early last year they adopted a brother and sister from Ethiopia. The kids just happened to be almost exactly the same ages as my oldest two; and since then, we've done play dates and become good friends. Watching this couple up-close, I cannot tell you what a fabulous job they are doing as parents!

Well, the reason for this post is that they are adopting from Ethiopia again! They are looking to adopt a 5 year old boy and a baby, and I'm SO excited for them!! But as anyone knows, adoption is not cheap; and right now they are in the process of the trying to raise the money.

So, here's the plan- I am doing a drawing for one photo shoot AND the cd of the processed pictures for just $300. A sitting fee is usually anywhere from $75-$175 and a cd costs $400. So it's like getting your session for free and a $100 discount off of your cd!
The best part is that EVERY PENNY will go toward the adoption fund for this family.

Okay, now the details and rules. Please read them carefully before submitting your name:
*If you are interested and want your name put in drawing, email me at: alyssa@alyssaannephotography.com
*All names must be entered by midnight on Friday, February 5th.
*The winner will be randomly chosen and announced on Saturday, February 6th.
*By entering your name in the drawing, you are agreeing to pay if you are chosen.
*The $300 is due within two weeks of announcement of the winner. If winner does not pay in this period of time, a second name will be drawn; and the first will no longer be eligible.
*After you have paid, you will be mailed a gift certificate for a session and cd for you to use at your convenience. There is no expiration date.
*Clients whose appointments are already scheduled are not eligible.
*New and returning clients alike are both welcome to submit their names.

So start submitting those names, and let a friend know about it, too. It's all for a great family and beautiful cause!
