Remember in JULY when we posted about a session giveaway with the deadline of July 31st, and initially gave ourselves like 48 hours to pick a winner, only to extend the contest to buy us more time? Well, that ended up being a whole other problem because then we got even MORE entries which only made it harder to choose!<\/p>\n

I feel badly about taking so long to post the winners, but the truth is we got 60 entries this round, and I wanted to give sessions to everybody!! Seriously- The stories and photos we received were so touching and amazing and we couldn’t decide\u00a0ourselves so we finally called in for help from Lorie and Jon, our best friends who have always helped us decide in the past. They happened to be driving their\u00a0moving truck\u00a0from Nashville to\u00a0Seattle the day we sent emails, so we had their full, undivided attention. :)<\/p>\n

SO. Without further ado, our TWO session winners are Kate R and Julianna, who nominated her niece, Summer!<\/strong> We’ll be sharing their entries when we blog their sessions. We can’t wait to meet you, Summer\u00a0and Kate!<\/p>\n

I told you the decision was hard, so this time we have a handful\u00a0of second place winners as well. These guys will receive a mini session (15-20 minutes) and high-res images. Congrats to\u00a0everyone shown below.\u00a0Again, I look forward to sharing their stories soon!<\/p>\n

\"Mini-Session<\/p>\n

Seriously- Thanks to all of you for entering and being so patient with us. I want to photograph you all, so we’re extending a 20% full-session discount to\u00a0everyone who entered<\/strong>. :)<\/p>\n

Nate will be in touch over email with details.\u00a0Congrats to the winners and we’ll talk soon!! <3<\/p>\n
