The Winner is.......
I am so excited to announce the winner of my Holiday Season Session Giveaway!
I wanted to contact the winner first to ask permission to use their story and image and I think they were in shock. I am pleased to announce that Amber and Andrew Carlson will be receiving a free maternity or newborn photo session from me in the late Spring. They will also receive $150 print credit to use in purchasing prints or albums.
Congratulations to you both~ I am very excited to meet you and take precious images for you and your new family!
Natalie Hensley nominated Amber and Andrew and here is their story:
"I would like to nominate my awesome sister-in-law Amber and her amazing husband Andrew for a maternity shoot. I am so excited that they are expecting a little one on Independence Day 2010. I haven't had the heart to tell them yet that they will be losing a whole lot of independence with this event. (Good luck even going to the bathroom on your own for a few years, guys...) I just know that they're going to be phenomenal parents and I have to say that I so appreciate what a stellar job they've been doing as an Aunt & Uncle for as long as my kids can remember.
I think that Amber & Andrew's baby is extra blessed to be coming to parents that really, really want it. In this crazy, confusing world that doesn't always make sense, these two people (who are sure to be better parents than just about anyone I know) have been trying to conceive for 4 years. After much poking and prodding and $17,000+ later, we're celebrating a successful IVF. In fact, today (November 17Th), they got to hear the heartbeat for the first time. Talk about a happy day!
I believe that they deserve to win this contest for two reasons. First of all, I think that anyone who's poured $17,000 into their kid before it's even conceived could use any breaks they can get. I know that they're feeling the pinch financially, as worth it as all of these medical bills may be. Second, I think they're too beautiful not to shoot. (Okay, that just sounds wrong... No, I don't think that beautiful people deserve to be shot... I mean, just with cameras... Anyway...) As you can see from the attached photo, they're a very good looking couple. Amber is gorgeous and sure to be a stunning expectant mom when her cute baby belly arrives. I hope you select this great couple so that they can have photo evidence of just how much she was glowing in anticipation of the bundle of joy that they had to fight so hard for. "
Congratulations again!
