MY FIRST BLOG CONTEST! (Now that its March, ahem)

Well guys, since yan photography, just reopened its doors again this month, and is now accepting bookings for 2009, I thought we needed a little something to jump start the year. Nothing gets the blood pumping like a little friendly competition eh? Here’s how it works. I post a small (okay, so originally, I was going to post like ALL of my favorites, but when the list reached the 30′s, i was like, um, must simplify) selection of my favorites from 2008. You pick your favorite from the favorites. You vote by sending me an email (photography.yan@gmail.com) with the number of your favorite picture inside.

Now here’s the good part: The WINNER of the competition gets a free 11×14 gallery wrap canvas of THEIR favorite photo from their session! Boo yeah! (I apologize for the use of the word ‘boo yeah,’ but giving feels good).

I know some of you are saying, but Diana, all of your work is soooo fab, how will we ever choose? I know friends, I know, just follow your heart. On a more serious note, this competition is all in fun and the spirit of givingness, and its not really a, “my photo is better than yours,” sort of thing. =)

So tell all your friends and family to get to voting, and good luck! Now onto the photos….

Becca Moore - Are you kidding me? Please. What am I to do? I keep looking at them and I continue to come up with reasons why I love all of them. BUT, because I can only choose 1… The winner is #4. This is a great picture, it catches my eye. Plus, I have the worst wedding photos and wish I had a selection like this beaut.

Randy - Number 6!!! That’s the real deal!!! Love the location.

March 6, 2009 - 11:17 am

Janice - I appreciate more contempory composition. Therefore, No. 6 has my vote. The location is amazing and I love the way the adult is looking overtowards the girls. It almost says, “this way girls, I’m here for you.”

March 7, 2009 - 11:57 pm

stephanie robertson - i never said which one i liked best! i love them all for so many different reasons- but i think the overall look of #6 is my favorite. those girls are dressed to impress and the building adds to the look, but tones it down in a good way at the same time.

March 8, 2009 - 12:12 am

Natalie Smith - I absolutely love #3. That girl is g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s! I love the color contrasts in it.
