Wow. When I announced the photo session giveaway contest, I didn’t expect that choosing a winner would be so difficult! Thank you to everyone who entered. There were 22 comments entered, and it was difficult narrow it down to even the top five entries! But… I did it. Drumroll, please!
The winner is… Angela and Ben! Here is Angela’s entry:
- I think it could be awesome to do a high fashion photo shoot at a Christmas tree farm. Ben in a full Tuxedo (along with bow tie) carrying an axe and chopping down a tree. I would be in a formal evening gown… I’m thinking black satin and lots of sparkles! I’d wear a lot of over the top accessories and jewelry, a faux fur coat, and faux fur boots. We’d bring our dogs, and we’d stomp around in such a juxtaposition that I think the pictures could be awesome! I keep thinking this could be great for our Christmas card this year! And we’d probably get some really awkward looks romping around in formal attire, followed by a photographer, and chopping down a tree.
As I was reading her entry, I kept thinking how fun this particular session sounded, and getting all these great visuals in my mind of what the pictures would look like. Congratulations, guys!
Because there were so many great entries, I decided I couldn’t give away just one session. Though it was hard, I narrowed down the list to four additional sessions that really showed some creativity. This is where you all enter the picture. Please vote on the “People’s Choice” award by leaving a comment below. The entry with the most comments below will win a free session as well!
- HEATHER: I want to do an on the farm trash the dress session! I mean, who hasn’t wanted to feed calves, drive the tractor and skidsteer and count pigs in a wedding dress? And I know that my heels looked great with the ball gown, but can you imagine 7 layers of tulle over knee-high rubber boots?
- AGI: I am envisioning a trash the dress session for my sister and her new husband. It would be a surprise for them. I am thinking up by Chetek (a chance to come home!) with a hunting/woods theme, including blaze orange, camo, guns and bows. Both of them are very outdoorsy, the most awesome couple and they deserve it. Plus, her dress was absolutely stunning!
- TRICIA: Since we are getting married next August, we were thinking it would be fun to have engagement pictures in the total opposite weather. How about the horse drawn carriage through downtown La Crosse and the riverside park rotary lights – lots of options for cool holiday/night/river pics. The bike trail is right there too with an old wooden bridge! I would love to wrap it up making a snowman and a snow angel shot.
- ANNAMARIE: I was thinking a photo session that involves tons of crazy colored paint. It could be a trash-the-dress or regular clothes. I think it’d be a lot of fun to whip out the paint on Brendan! It could be an outdoor session with paintball guns capturing the excitement, competition, and well, paint. Or, we could get huge brushes and make a mess out of an outfit and take pictures during and after we’re all painted and messy!!
So? What do YOU all think? Please comment below with the name of the girl you think should win the People’s Choice session!
Thanks again to everyone who entered. This was an extremely difficult decision and so many of you had wonderful ideas!
