Let me start by prefacing that I LOVE all my clients and I LOVE all the sessions I have done. Coming up with the images for the Canvas Contest was really very difficult for me because I started with a pool of over 50 images and had to narrow them down. Then I immediately felt bad for the images I didn’t include and had to start the whole process over again. I also only included images that I thought lent themselves to print well on canvas (I have other favorites that I love but think they show better as prints or gallery mounts). Then I went back and forth on figuring out whether I should do rounds, first, second, third place, how do I feel about people sending out mass requests to list-servs asking people to vote for them, etc.
So here’s the net. What you see is what you get. The winner gets a canvas (I won’t know what size until I see the winner), the runners up may also get something, but I am not sure what as I have no idea what the spread of votes will be. I really wish I could hide the vote results because I hate for someone to not get a lot of votes simply because they didn’t get the word out to vote… those people should know that they were MY favorite images for the year and that should count for something (or nothing, depending on what you think of my opinion!).
I will leave the voting up until my new site is live — that means you all have to come back and check it out! You can only vote once. There are IP and cookie validations and I can check to make sure no one is doing anything funky to the system.
Have fun… and leave comments, you know how I love them so!
P.S. I am running this contest for no other reason other than I want to, it’s fun, and I think my clients are awesome and I want to give them a treat as a Thank You.

I love the new site Kristina. I think this is such a fun idea and I’ll just say my little Morgan didn’t make the cut because she didn’t want to show anyone up
ha ha. I actually don’t know any of these and they are all great but I just there is just something about Sunflare Girl that I love, maybe its the light or maybe just that she is so darn cute. Good luck everyone!
I voted! What a cute idea.
Very tough decision, your work is beautiful (as are your clients)
wow. beautiful pictures Kristina. Very hard to choose just one. I can see every single pic blown up on canvas.
Kristina-Gorgeous photographs. I think in your attempts to safe guard the voting you blocked IP addresses. My entire office is DYING to vote for my adorable child but the voting is blocked?! Can you fix?
What great photos! It was hard to pick a favorite.
The site looks great, I also love the lighting with Sunflare Girl (her hair and the sunlight) but so many great shots! Nice work!
Love your new blog and logo!!! I voted!
Wow – such amazing work! I had a tough time choosing. These are such fabulous images. Good luck to all the families!
Oh, it was so hard! They are all so gorgeous!!! Beautiful work and congrats on a great year!
HI there Kristina,
Lovely moments captured, for me I love In the Meadow, just a wonderful moment of connection, relaxed and genuine, it is posed and still their expressions are so very real.
