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. :)

Portrait Previews

As we get closer and closer to summer, Nathan and I are doing our best to squeeze in the rest of our portrait sessions before we break until the fall. :)

Anyway, here are some favorites from our most recent photo adventures:

Tricia and her gorgeous family from Nova Scotia… Tell me they don’t look like the poster family for the Boardwalk Resort! ;)

Meet Violet- The cutest baby that EVER lived. So… For the past year, just about, I’ve been completely content with waiting a long time to start a family. Just an hour with this little one, and all that went out the window! Just look at her! Did I mention she knows sign language? And Monday was her 1st birthday? *Swooooooon!*

Just a few hours later, we met up with the completely adorable Erin and Rick at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. :) I’m beyond excited for their wedding!

Well, that’s what our week was like. How was yours? :)

Portrait Session Giveaway

May 3, 2010 by Jensey 20 Comments

Have you been day dreaming about having a photo session with the Roots? Maybe you’ve been looking at a blank spot on the wall where you could be showing off fabulous photos of your family? Maybe you didn’t know about us when you got married and were left with less-than-beautiful wedding photos? (It happens!) Maybe you just want a head shot session for yourself? Maybe you’re just dying to see Nate climb a tree, or you wanna hear Jensey’s goofy way of making our brides laugh?

If you think you might fit in one of those categories, we wanna know! In celebration of our pretty new website and blog launching, we’re giving away a free portrait session* and image disc. (Valued at $700)

All you have to do is take a photo of you and whomever you want photographed and write a little something about why YOU should be in front of our cameras! :) We can’t wait to meet you!

Please send all entries to yaygiveaway@rootweddings.com . Thank you!

*Your entry must be received by Thursday, May 13th at 11:59pm EST. The winner will be announced on the blog on Monday, May 17th. Session date is based completely on our availability. Session doesn’t have to take place in Orlando or Florida, though travel fees may apply. :)

Looking at this photo makes my heart full! I love you guys! :)
