What a great week it was on my Facebook fan page.  The 2011 *Best in Show* contest was spectacular – it was anyone’s game up until the very finish, a true nail biter!

Without further ado, the first place winner of a 16×20 Gallery Wrapped Canvas goes to the newborn twin image:

2nd place winner of a 12×18 mounted print goes to:

This image is perfect because they were literally running on the heels of the 1st place image!

And the third place 12×18 mounted print goes to :

A little tidbit about this shot : I knew I wanted a facial veil shot from above, so after one of the group shots I asked this bride to pull the veil over her face and squat a bit (she was an AWESOME bride)!  I snapped three or four and off we went to the next image!  It was breezy and I was so happy to have caught the veil in motion.

Thank you to those who participated in the contest, couldn’t have done it without you!

UP next – behind the scenes of a bridal portrait shoot AND next weekend I will be shooting beauty shots at a local hair salon – super excited about it.  We will be designing large wall displays for her salon.  I will be sure to share my lighting set-up(s) and all the prep that is going into this big shoot, as well as tid-bits on the wall design once we get to that point.

Have a great weekend!
