Photo of the Year 2014

2014PhotoOfTheYearHeader

Happy New Year!!  Hope you and yours had a wonderful holiday season.  2014 was a great year for Drum Hill Studios  – and what better way to celebrate than with the 2nd annual Photo of the Year Contest. I had so much fun looking back at the sessions over the past year. I am so grateful to the families that have chosen me as their photographer. I can’t wait to see what 2015 brings.

So without further delay, here are the details. One photo from each session was chosen (events and corporate portraits were not considered for this contest).  There will be three winners!  Scroll down to view the images and then cast your vote.  Only 1 vote per person please (I know, it’s a tough decision). 🙂

1st Prize.  The client whose image has the most votes will receive a complimentary 11 x 14 wall print of either the image from this contest or an image of their choice from an upcoming 2015 session.

2nd Prize.  The 2nd place winner will receive a $75 gift certificate towards a session in 2015.  The winner may either keep the prize for themselves or give to a friend.

Voter Prize.  One lucky voter will be selected at random to receive a FREE Mini Session!!  Voters enter simply by leaving a comment on this blog post (scroll down under the poll).  The winner may either keep the prize for themselves or give it to a friend.  The Mini Session will take place at Drum Hill Studios in Martinsville by May 1, 2015. Only one comment per voter allowed, but voters can earn a 2nd entry by also LIKING Drum Hill Studios’ Facebook page.

Voting will begin NOW and end on February 1st at 8pm EST.  Results will not be visible on the poll and I will announce the winner on February 2nd.  Good luck to all the nominees and thanks for voting! Polls are now closed.
