I’ve been wanting to do a contest for a while now and with the encouragement of another photographer/friend I said.. “what the heck.. I’m going to GO for it!!!” I’ve had a great year with some wonderful, amazing, gorgeous, precious, cute, adorable, awesome, breath-taking, inspiring, gracious clients! I’ve been so blessed and I’m so thankful for a successful year. I love my clients and I LOVE to give a little extra or give back when I can. So here’s what I did…I went back through my archives and found the client that I shot in 2010 so from January 2010-December 2010… some clients I photographed more than once; so on those clients I just used one photo from one of their sessions. Believe me this was a hard decision, but a fun one for sure!! I went through and picked the ONE image from that session or ONE image from each client and chose my favorite picture; based on several factors. Some images I chose for the technical aspect such as dramatic lighting, imagery etc., some images ‘just spoke to me’, others I felt a certain connection of emotion. I really had SO many favorites and even went back and switched a few before making my final decision. I of course shot more sessions then the ones shown; these are just the images that, to me, stood out. I didn’t choose ‘personal family’ for obvious reasons or gift sessions, commercial work or ‘photography outing sessions.’ So here’s to 2010 and the Gorgeous Yocum Photography Clients!
Here is how it will work..
1.) Each person may vote for ONE image ONE time.. please follow this rule and be fair. 🙂
2.) To cast a vote, you MUST leave your comment in the COMMENT section below; under THIS post. Please use the identifying NUMBER of the image, located ABOVE each image.
3.) As EXTRA, credit facebook fans of Yocum Photography and Yocum Photography Seniors will get ONE extra vote per fan-site you are a FAN of. (so for example if you are a fan of Yocum Photography AND Yocum Photography Seniors.. you could get up to THREE votes!) So if you aren’t a fan… slide on over there and become a fan.. let me know in the comment if you are and you can vote Three times… you can put all 3 votes on the same image or vote for 3 different images… it’s up to YOU! Please leave only one comment with your vote… whether it be one vote 2 votes, or 3 votes… i.e. “My vote is for image #21; I’m a fb fan of both pages so my next two votes will be for image #22 and #23”)
4.) Feel free to share the contest with family and friends. A little self promotion is totally fine. (As long as the rules are followed)
