{contest winners}

OMG!!  I'm sitting here in my office watching it snow and so, so excited to post the winners of this give-a-way!  I'm also excited to share some of the super sweet writings and poems that you guys shared!

Lets start with the haikus and poems.

Here are a few of my favorites:

**By Bennett Giles:

Light that is my wife.

What is this world we made here–

What now? you whisper.

 

**And from Kayla Hyder:  

I LOVE THIS ONE!!

Pictures, Pictures 4×6.  

They're nice to look at while you sit.

Pictures, Pictures 5×7.                        

Will be something to cherish when we're gone to Heaven.                       

Pictures, Pictures 8×10.

Love sharing them with friends.       

Pictures, Pictures 16×24.                   

My fav thing to see when I walk through my front door.                      

Pictures, Pictures I love them if you can't tell, please pick me for your mini sesh

because what I really love is having them taken from the BEST!!! 

 

I have to say that some of my very favorites were ones people wrote to win a session for someone else!!

**One of my awesome brides wrote this super cute one for her Stepson who is starting college soon...

University of Tennessee

Congratulations Taylor!

College here we come!

 

**And Heather wrote this super cute haiku for her sister:

One two three smile cheese, 

baby nephew needs captured, 

great gift for sister.

 

**I also thought this one was funny from Andi:

This actress is poor,

and I'm not too proud to beg,

oh please shoot my head.

 

**This one from Chrissy Eastridge took some serious work:

Congrats on ten years!

Must really be nice—

To look back with love

At still frames of life.

 

You’ve captured the moments

That people hold dear—

The smiles, the hugs, 

And sometimes, the tears.

 

Our story is special

Give us a chance, you’ll see—

Why Wesley and I’d

Like a session, for free :)

 

We’re starting out married life

Next Saturday—

A covenant, a promise

To love, always.

 

Let’s document our first year

Of married bliss—

To miss out on your art 

Would be truly remiss.

 

We need you, Jennie

To record these memories—

Can you help with our story?

Pretty, pretty, please?

 

**and one more before I announce the winners from Lisa Smith:

Photos are neat-o, 

Jennie and Nikon really

have so much swag-o.       

 

So... obviously, I had to choose the winners randomly, because how in the world else would I narrow it down?!??!?  The 3 winners of mini-sessions are.......

Shana Sparks-Beckett

Heather Wolfe 

aaand....

Amanda McNulty

YAY!!  So... if you are a winner, it is up to YOU to get with me to schedule your session!  You can do it any time this year, but I'd LOVE for you to wait until we have some flowers on the ground and leaves on the trees.  ;)  ENOUGH of this dreary winter weather!!  

Check back tomorrow for the canvas winners and some favorites from the last 10 years.
