And The Winner is....

And the winner of my "Giving Thanks" Giveaway is.... Number 38!!!! CONGRATS Stephannie!!! I cant wait to meet you and your darling family (I peeked at your blog already:) Please email me when you are ready for your photo shoot, anytime during 2010....

and for the rest of you, here is a sneak peek at the Matilda Jane Clothing "PhOto LOve" contest I am competing in... If you are a fan on facebook, you probably already know about the Matilda Jane contest, if not than I will tell you....

Last month I found out I was one of the few photographers chosen to compete in the Matilda Jane "PhOto LOve" contest. They mailed all the contestants the same dress in different sizes, We were to shoot the dress in our individual styles and send in only one picture. ONE! That seriously was the hardest part!! Matilda Jane will then narrow it down to 15 finalists. Next, it's up to yOu to vote for the winner. They will be posting all the submissions on their blog soon... I will keep you posted.

It's an honor for me to have even made it this far, there are some amazing photographers participating... I am so thrilled to be put in the same category as them, cross your fingers for me that I make it to the finals!!! YAY! I am SO excited, I cant even stand it!!!

Here is my entry...

Have a Happy Thanksgiving, and be sure to check out Matilda Jane for their "Black Friday" sale!!
