New Year, New Me...

I am starting 2010 with lots of resolutions, some personal: eat healthier (this one keeps coming up every year!) Work out more, run another half marathon, not let the small stuff get to me, take a deep breath before reacting to my kids fighting or screaming, be more generous, random acts of kindness, pray more, devotions (daily)...I better stop...the more I list, the more disappointed I will be when I don't follow through on them...
But I also have some resolutions for my business: separate work time from family time (hard to do when working from home), blog more, new products (image boxes coming soon..you will love them), more sales, more contests, mini sessions, a product guide to make ordering easier for my clients, and also get my loyal blog followers to start leaving comments!!! I would love to see my blog become more interactive. How might I do that?? Well, I could start off the New Year with a contest. So here we go, below are 15 of my favorite images from 2009. Leave a comment on which image is your favorite. The client whose image receives the most votes will receive 25 note cards with that image on it. You can only vote 1 time, so you better get your friends and family on to vote. Those of you following without an image posted, still vote...the more votes, the more fun this will be. The contest ends next Sunday, the 10th at midnight. I will post the winner on Monday the 11th.
How about another contest...the person that sends me the most referrals between now and December 1st 2010 will receive a $100 print credit!!! To cast your vost simply click on "comments" at the very bottom of the post. Ready, set, GO!!!

I love number 15! The lighting and color is amazing against the moody sky. As a former sailor I can't help loving the setting and as a romantic I can't help loving the pose.

Number 4 is of course my favorite, what a beautiful family I couldn't be more happy that they are mine.

Number 4 is my favorite. Since this is my daughter and her family I could be showing a little favoritism, but I think they are perfect. All of your photos are awesome.
