This has been the most fun contest I have ever had. Seeing all of your pins and your ideas has been amazing. Reading your kind comments on my images has been nothing short of humbling – I am grateful to have such wonderful people who love my photos.

To say “thank you”, I want to offer everyone who entered the contest a sweet $400 consolation prize… their choice of 5 high-resolution digital images OR a photobook when they book a 2012 session by Monday, the 27th of February. Your session can take place any time in 2012 (offer applies to new bookings only, please).

And the winner is… Ailee Farey! Her board combined just the right mix of everything that I love and would want to photograph and I can’t wait to show you all the results!

Thank you again to everyone for playing along and I hope you are all Pinterest addicts for life.

FINALLY -  some snow

…and lucky for me, my oldest daughter agreed to play the part of a snow princess first thing this morning.

She is a tomboy all the way but indulged me because she has the kindest, sweetest heart and is always up for an adventure.

She is growing up at lightening speed and I love these moments when she’s still a silly little girl.

In almost all of these shots, the running car (see the smoke?) is running VERY close by and her coat even closer.

She wasn’t as cold as you’d think though… check out those monkey jammies!

I am now the proud vendor of these handmade wooden frames!

Look at how the colors POP in these babies.

If you’ve been in my studio lately, you’ve noticed I have all these prints around.

Beginning with orders placed this year, any print 8×10 or larger will be mounted on heavy-weight backboard.

I want your prints to last and last and last. The mount, in addition to the finish and texture on them ensures a product of high quality.

See the difference between the regular print on the left and the mounted print on the right?

Also, these prints eliminate the need for glass in your frames. If you’d like to have glass, you can order them that way but all of these frames are without glass.

Look at the attention to detail! Did I mention these are handmade?

This is the inside of the frame  – look how deep that is!

These frames come in all sorts of shapes and colors and I have a cute little wooden box here with all of the sample colors and plenty of coffee while we choose the perfect shade together.

I am so excited about these frames that I am GIVING AWAY one frame up to 12 x 12” (!!!!!) – your choice of color and shape – to the first three people to book a Spring ‘12 session!

I love these frames and know you will too!
