Portrait Session Winners

May 17, 2010 by Jensey 16 Comments

We knew this giveaway was gonna be hard to judge, but we had no idea how hard. If it was up to me, we would have given away 60 free sessions, but after realizing that’d be over 180 hours of our time this year, well… I don’t love you guys that much! ;)

We sat and read through all of your wonderful entries over pizza and Coke. I was worried I’d be fighting for who I wanted to win until the wee hours of the morning, pulling a Mr. Smith Goes to Washington worthy stalemate.  But after all was said and done, we pretty much agreed on the same 10, narrowed that to 6, then 2. So, friends, I now present our lucky session + image disc winners! (I know we said there would only be one, but we loved both of these entries so very much!)

Because we seriously had the hardest time choosing, we also have four runners-up. We’ll be in touch soon regarding your prizes!

  • Stephen S.
  • Hayley O.
  • Amanda P.
  • Lindsey H.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to enter! We loved hearing everyone’s love stories, and some of you were so darn creative it rocked our faces off! If you didn’t get picked this time around, don’t be discouraged… I’m sure we’ll be running another portrait giveaway in the future. :)  In the meantime, to all of you self-proclaimed blog stalkers, leave some comments and say hi! Let’s be friends. :)

    We just got back from an 8 hour drive home and I just logged on. I CANNOT BELIEVE IT, we are the world’s most unlucky people. You have no idea how great this day is…I ran into the kitchen screaming/crying “WE WON! NO SERIOUSLY WE WON! THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES” – sure maybe a little dramatic but it’s how I felt at the time. (Aaron tends to think the day we met was the best day of our lives. Now after taking a few breaths and calming down I have to agree with him, THIS IS THE SECOND BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES). You have no idea how grateful we are. THANK YOU. Cannot wait to see the other winners pictures as well, thanks for this opportunity.

    Congratulations winners! I know how excited you must be. I remember my first shoot with Jensey and Nate. You will have a wonderful time!

    Kelly, I heard that you are recently engaged. Congratulations! You were always such a sweet person. This is so deserving. I hope you are doing well.
