And the WINNERS of family + love are...

Family!

It's the Mommy and son moment that stole everyone's heart. I do have to say this is one of my favorites too! Sweet Harper was such a joy to photograph! Cute, Cute, Cute! AND he actually fell asleep for me when we laid him in the basket with his monkey. That has never happened to me before! Of course I'm mostly used to my little Mini Me who NEVER sleeps. haha.

Love!

The people have spoken and they cannot resist a sexy cowboy: Cassie & Jesse! I had the pleasure of second shooting this wedding for Krystal Muellenberg Photography and am so so thankful for it! One of my favorite weddings of 2011 for sure. So many good memories and things about this wedding I loved. It was also their handsome little man who won Best of Boys!

Are the WINNERS of the kiddos are.......

Boys!

A total of 136 votes came in for the boys and the majority says: Colton!  Yay!  There were THREE others who were tied for second place though which was pretty cool and a close race. Colton's signature way to catch the ladies include making tractor noises and batting his pretty green eyes. I'm not going to lie, I later told my husband that Colton was now added to my daughter's list of potential husbands one day. hehe   

Girls!

There were only 63 votes for the girls, but these cuties won by a landslide. They belong to one of my good friends and they are oh-so-adorable! Big sis is the best helper for her younger brother and sisters. I'm so proud to know her Mom and be able to share secrets and frustrations with her and know she'll always be there for me if needed. xoxo

p.s. Happy Birthday to Baby Girl in this picture who just turned 1!

Don't forget to vote for best of family and love categories. Voting for each of those ends Thursday the 19th at midnight :D

Best of 2011: Love!

Since there was really only 4 sessions that I did this year of my own for engagements and weddings, I decided to add in the wedings that I second shot as well. This is my favorite cateogory but what can I say...I have a thing for couples...and love...and hugging...and kissing ;)


THE RULES: DON'T CHEAT!

1. You can only vote for one photo.

2. If you decide to vote by name, also include the # since there are a couple with the same name.

3. Include your name in the comment field. Technical difficulties are allowing "anonymous" user right now so leave your name or else just "Anonymous" without a name won't be counted.

4. You can get your friends and family to vote but they have to go to my blog and vote for themselves.

5. Deadline: to be determined. I'll keep the voting open for at least a week or two.

6. I will be approving all comments so don't worry if yours doesn't show up right away. It may take me awhile to approve them all.

7. The winner will receive a 7x10 mounted print: extra lustre coating, texture, and on matboard. **The ratio is a bit different than the normal 8x10 but it will allow for no cropping of the photos and you can either get a custom size frame or just place it on a shelf {which is what I love}!
