Favorites of 2009!!!! (a contest)

Choose your favorite image from 2009!!!!

This has taken me all week to get together (so I apologize for the lack of posts). It’s really time consuming going through a year’s worth of sessions and weddings.

Of course since I photographed so many beautiful folks, I had such a hard time picking my top images. I wanted to narrow it down to 10, but I’m not even close. I wish I could have chosen on image per session, but since this year was so busy it was impossible to do. It’s definitely not a bad problem to have!!

The winner of 2009′s best image will receive a 16X20 gallery wrapped canvas of the winning image.

So please vote for your favorite image….

(scroll all the way to the bottom of the page to vote)

Edited to add: Contest ends on my birthday, January 30th, 2010!
Please only vote once per person. Thank you!

They are all too good to pick one!! I thought “since I don’t know any of her clients, I’ll pick which one I think is technically the best”…too hard to do – you are way too talented and know too many pretty people!! Good luck w/the contest! Any of them deserve to win!

Aunt Robin - January 18, 2010 - 6:59 pm

That was hard! They’re all winners!

Leya Stefanski - January 18, 2010 - 7:02 pm

Erin Ryan - January 20, 2010 - 1:51 am

I fell in love with Jill’s wedding pics when I first saw them, so I just had to vote for it! Your pictures are absolutely beautiful!

Sarah - January 20, 2010 - 2:03 am

melissa richardson - January 20, 2010 - 6:31 am

That was fun. I enjoyed looking at such a diverse group of images. Had a couple favorites in there that definitely made it difficult to choose. :D

Marge Weitzel - January 20, 2010 - 7:56 am

Beautiful Black & White picture of
two sincere people with a bright future !
So much is captured in this photo.

Lauri - January 20, 2010 - 8:56 am

# 23 would be my pic for wedding, but the kid’s always win out over adults. Great pics.

Jen - January 20, 2010 - 9:47 am

Beautiful Pictures!!!

Renee - January 20, 2010 - 9:54 am

That was very hard. All awesome captures!

Dawn McCarthy - January 20, 2010 - 12:34 pm

That was fun! What a great review of a fantastic year for you! My vote is in for a special little lion. ;-)

Charlotte Stringer - January 20, 2010 - 12:53 pm

Wow!! What a great year you had! They are all beautiful in their own way!! Awesome work girl!

Sylvia Davis - January 20, 2010 - 1:09 pm

Very nice selection. I did like a lot of the couple ones, but #5 just tugged me – the innocence of that child’s face, the woder in her eyes, the setting and the black and white – very nice.

Jesse Richardson - January 20, 2010 - 1:50 pm

After much consideration, #5 wins it for me. That baby is adorable, and I love the moment you were able to capture. All I can say other than that is I wish there were different categories (baby, child, teen, family, wedding) because there were definite wins in there. I particularly like #34, because without faces it inspires the imagination to put your own family in that setting. Awesome shot, Jenica.

Jesse Richardson - January 20, 2010 - 1:51 pm

Uhhh… I meant #29…

Terry Kiggins - January 20, 2010 - 3:26 pm

Great for me- excellent pictures

That was so hard! I needed about 5 choices at least, but I finally picked just one.

Sharon Miller - January 21, 2010 - 12:04 pm

It was a toss up between three great shots, but I finally chose a favorite. Beautiful collection of work here.

Emily Wilson - January 21, 2010 - 12:46 pm

wow, wow, wow!!!! Absolutely incredible images. Love them!

edna sevilla - January 21, 2010 - 5:26 pm

she’s so cute!

Becky Conard - January 21, 2010 - 8:19 pm

what wonderful photography! All are gorgeous, but my all time favorite is # 3

Marilyn Perry - January 21, 2010 - 8:38 pm

Wow! it was difficult to choose. Great photos.

michele renner - January 22, 2010 - 9:26 am

Holy cow, all your photos are beautiful!! It was very hard to choose!! I especially like #16 because I totally felt the love between these two individuals when I saw their pic. Weddings can be so stressful and this pic brought out the true feelings of friendship, love, and a moment of silliness they shared..

Richard Dennis - January 22, 2010 - 11:29 am

Hi Sister!! How fun! Thanks for including me in this. Your photos are amazing! Number five (and many others) is also increadible in contrasts. I wish I could fly my family there to visit and have you take a bunch of photos. I still have the ones you took of us long ago and appreciate them so much.

We’re in TX now, living in the small town where my parents live. I’m in the reserves as a Chaplain Candidate and at ACU in the MDIV program, trying to stay up with all the reading and homework. The kids are happy and well too. I’m so glad to have a stable situation for them.

Please greet hubby for me. ‘love you all, -Richard

Suzanne Bierlein - January 23, 2010 - 8:22 am

What great photos!

Laura - January 23, 2010 - 10:40 pm

keiko walsh - January 25, 2010 - 2:20 pm

all so beautiful and full of life. was hard to choose only one.

Nicole Fleetwood - January 25, 2010 - 3:54 pm

EVERY ONE IS impeccably incredible! WOOW~!!!! Have to go with 10. THanks:)

Rebecca (Becky) Roy - January 25, 2010 - 6:14 pm

#4 is my pick. I don’t know anyone in all of the photos, except for the B girls. But, in my opinion, for a photographer to capture such natural smiles and fun of 3 children won my vote. Plus, I love it in back& white!

melissa - January 26, 2010 - 3:01 pm

my teacher dughter is so cute

jenny - January 27, 2010 - 2:40 pm
