Thanks so much for everyone who voted for their favorite photo of last month. I really appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment. Here’s your winner!!
VOTING HAS ENDED FOR THIS MONTH’S CONTEST!! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO TOOK THE TIME TO LEAVE A COMMENT!!
Alright folks, it’s that time again. I know, it’s a day late, but things are crazy around here. June is such a busy month between birthdays and graduations and bridal showers. I don’t know how I’m going to survive it all. Julianna turns 6 in a few short days. I can’t believe it! I am hoping to steal her away for a very special photo shoot. Her first big girl fashion shoot. I ordered her a really cute dress, but you’ll just have to wait and see the pictures. 
OK, here are your choices for the Photo of the Month. Once again, I met some really wonderful people in May. It’s been so great to be able to get outside and take pictures too. Makes me wish that winter would never come.
This time I’m going to change things up a bit. I was really disappointed to learn that people were using fake e-mail addresses last time so I hope this time around everyone is on their best behavior. I will not approve comments that come from the same e-mail address. You have until the end of the day and you can only vote once. VOTES WILL NOT COUNT AFTER 8 P.M. The winner will receive a complimentary 11×14 wall portrait.
All you have to do is leave a comment with the number of your favorite picture. In order for your vote to count it has to be on this post. Go to the bottom where the last picture is and you’ll see where it says “add comment.” Last month, I had people voting for their favorite on posts I had written days and weeks before.
Good luck!

#5 ana rose is just a beautiful baby
That’s what little A was throughout our session today. He was in constant motion. Just like a typical 2 year-old ~ he is as busy as a bee.
The only thing that slowed him down was checking out the trains. Mom said it’s one of his favorite things to do. I love sessions like this. It’s wonderful to do a session at a client’s home, but I also love venturing out to places that are a bit unusual. It’s so much fun to capture kids doing things they love. And boy does A love trains.
Look at that smile. I could just eat him up! Thanks so much L family for showing me how much fun it is to be a kid. I loved hanging out with you today. I can’t wait for you to see the rest of the pictures!!
June 2, 2009 - 12:18 pm
PHOTO – NUMBER 10. I love this baby photo – so cute

Lovely pictures; they really capture so many aspects of A.
Denise Hand - Thank you so much for my making my daughters day so memorable. I have such beautiful pictures that will last a lifetime. You are a wonderful photographer and an even nicer person. Thank You again
PS I have two more kids coming up the ladder so you better not get too popular because I am going to be needing you a lot
