It’s the time of year for giving and I decided to give my 2010 clients a chance to win a 16×20 gallery-wrapped canvas! I gave all of my clients the opportunity to pick the image that they would want to see as a 16×20 canvas on their wall, and those that replied are posted below. Now, all of my blog readers and fans get to decide who the lucky winner is!
Here’s how it’s going to work:
1. Decide which your favorite image of the bunch is and leave a comment on this blog post saying which # you pick (just click the word “comments” at the top of the post, right under the title).
It’s that easy! The fine print is this: one vote per person, per day (so, that means one vote per e-mail/IP address combination AND each “day” ends at midnight MST). This also means that you must include a valid e-mail address with your comment (this is not seen by the public, only by me). Voting starts NOW and will end at midnight CST Friday, December 3rd. If you vote each day, you’ll have the chance to vote a total of 3 times. Also note that “comment moderation” is activated, so you will not automatically see your vote appear as a comment on this post. I will moderate at various times throughout the day, so you will eventually see your vote appear.
The other fun part is that once voting is complete, 1 lucky person will win a free photo session in 2011! One vote/comment will be randomly selected and whoever left it will be the recipient of a complimentary photo session AND a 16×20 gallery wrapped canvas (from that free session) for themselves! The session must take place in the Bozeman, MT area between January 1, 2011 and June 30, 2011.
So, let the voting begin! Have fun and good luck to everyone!!

#14
#14 Oh,the joys of childhood!
By far, # 13. The purity of new life and new motherhood and the immediate bond that ensues just oozes from this picture. It exudes the ‘feelings’ of all mothers at birth. Yes, # 13 is superior to all the others and I vote for it.
BTW, your website is awesome and photography superior to others I’ve seen.
Image #5 are the cutest kids.
#14 – Beautiful picture!
beautiful images! I LOVE # 8 because it captures the whimsical nature of children. But I’m gonna choose # 15 because it looks like the perfect image to use for an ADOPTION advocacy poster. (I’m an adoptive mom and strong advocate for adoption). Great job!
#14 is fabulous!!
#14 gets my vote!
While I think #13 is absolutely beautiful, I think I’ll have to vote for #15. I just love the idea of silhouettes & the blue Montana sky in the background is awesome!
#8 – it made me smile!
Image #14. It captures the magic of winter. Beautiful! Makes me want to go outside and play.
definitely #13
So hard to choose but I think #6 is my favorite!
If you are looking for a great advertisement, #14! It shows you provide outdoor photos, children phots, you are creative, and it also shows you welcome pets to be a part of the picture. You have covered all aspects of your advertising in one photo that is beautifully done!
Image #13!!! Such a precious picture!!! Great Work!
Image #8. Very hard to choose though!
Love # 13
Image # 13 is my vote
