First, thank you for everyone who voted— and to everyone who rallied behind these photos to get so many votes!!  I loved reading all the sweet contests!  And I love how passionate people are about pictures!

So… I know I swore I wouldn’t do this, but the results were SO CLOSE, I have decided to award two 1st place winners and one second place!  My mom and I just spent over an hour on the phone adding up the votes together and the 1st & 2nd place were within 5 votes of each other…. so….

The two winners of the FULL SESSION with RIGHTS to ALL of the PHOTOS ($1200 VALUE!!!!!!)….. are….

Drumroll…. please….

………….

PHOTO #1:

and Photo #15:

lorim-30

Congrats!!!!

SECOND PLACE:

16X20 of your winning photo (or another one if you already have a large one of this one)

VALUE of $250…. goes to:

lucy-10

Congrats to Lucy’s family too!

For honorable mention…. the two that were very close behind these photos will get $50 off a session fee in 2011.  #26 and #4— So Stephanie & Toni, email me and we can set that up if you like!

One more note… my new website will be launching VERY SOON… so please check back and see what new and exciting things I have planned for 2011.  I’m starting to book SPRING sessions already– and have a few ideas for a Valentine’s shoot (if interested please email me!)

The first session of 2011.  Beautiful winter day…one gorgeous mama, two awesome kids, one happy daddy (at the Rose Bowl) and  one lucky soon-to-be-born baby girl!  She doesn’t have a name yet– but look for her newborn photos soon!  If anyone living in HOUSTON is interested in a photo session, I will be there in mid-February.  Email me!  I would have time for one or two full sessions.

ENJOY:

Sweet newborn….

First… THE CONTEST IS OVER!!!  No votes will be counted from this point on!  Thank you to everyone who has participated.  I will be counting the votes this week and will announce the winner by Friday!

Second… how cute is this little guy?  He is not my “typical” newborn (2 weeks or younger)… he was a whopping 6 weeks old, but somehow the session ended up going really well!  His mom and grandma got him to sleep between each change of props… and he was quite peaceful and newborn-ly!  :)  Love what we captured– and hope his beautiful family does too!

ENJOY:

  • 1 farah: OMG!! He looks like an angel...those lips!!! Beautiful photos Bets, I'm sure this family is thrilled with your work. Too precious for words. (03.01.11, 11:56AM)
