With 133 votes, Twins Alex and Molly walk away with the prize!  But…everyone is a winner!  I’ll be sending each family in the top 20 a signed 8×10!!!  There were so many more portraits that I have taken over the past year that I wish I could have shown them all!  I look forward to the next year of photographing so many wonderful children and families! It is such a blessing for me to be a part of so many people’s lives, even if just for a brief moment in time. Through the camera I feel like I am connected to each one!

Thanks so much to each and every person that voted for your favorite portrait! It was such a blessing to get to know each child and family a little more through the kind words of those who love them!  Debbie, who voted on TuTu Cute is the winner of the free session (Oxford/Memphis/Tupelo)!  I’ll be contacting her by email.

And – be on the lookout.. this was so much fun I think we will do it again, perhaps for 2008 and maybe best Christmas card!  So – more chances to win!  Be sure to follow me on Facebook to stay up to date.

By the way… it was a very close race!  Baby Ella Leigh and TuTu cute can in a close second and third!

Time is almost up!  We have nearly 700 votes on the top 20 of 2009!  I have enjoyed so much reading all of the comments and learning how much the children and families mean to those around them!  Voting closes at midnight on tonight! – so enter for a chance to win a free session!

Welcome to the new Bella Vie Blog!  To kick off the new blog and 2010 – You get a chance to win!! I have posted below my favorite images or sessions from 2009. Vote on your favorite for a chance to win a free session!  And – the portrait or session that has the most votes wins a 16×20 from that session.

1. Vote on your favorite portrait or session by submitting a comment. You may vote for more than one image, but please only vote once per image (multiple comments by the same person will not be counted).  Comments will be approved before being displayed.
2. The Image/Session with the most comments wins a 16×20 from that session!

6. Here is a preview of the full size images below… and yes, there are actually 21 – With well over 50,000 to choose from, it was very hard to decide.  I could have selected one from each and every session, but I had to stop somewhere!
