We believe it’s healthy to laugh. And to laugh a lot. So, we introduce to you our ‘Photoshoot Funnies’.

These are several images we can’t help but laugh… and ask ourselves, “What are they doing!?” So now we would like to ask our blog readers / image viewers to comment on the images! And let us know what you think they are thinking / saying / doing.

This is what we like to call the ‘Best Caption’ — Who’s got the funnies!?

I have several that I personally LOVE – of my kids, of macro nature shots, of still lives I’ve put together of some of the things I really liked at that time, of people laughing but even in my hobbyist days there were some images that I took that I would just look at over and over and think…. ‘THIS is a good picture!’  Soooo, I want to give you the chance to show off your photography skills! If you are anything like me -you take the pictures and you love them but they never get the credit they deserve.  They go in an album, or on facebook or maybe snapfish where they tend to live out their lives. It’s time to showcase your art, your best work, your proudest shot. Take them out of the drawer,  it’s time they get the brag- rights they deserve.

Whatever category your image falls in: cute, beautiful, sweet, funny or simple – it doesn’t matter. ENTER IT.

The image with the most votes/comments wins. Comments and votes will be calculated from the FB album http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150758893840475.734431.75943060474&type=1 AND this blog. Don’t forget to have your Friends and Family vote on the blog as well. The poor blog gets overlooked

Voting ends at midnight August 31st. The winner gets a free session at the location of their choice within 30 miles of the area.  The winner also gets to think about a fun session that they never thought they could have. Funky, themed, in a junkyard (yes, I love junkyards so don’t discount it just yet!) so think outside the box and make this fun to plan for yourself. Let the session we do become your new favorite images!

I keep getting messages about folks living too far away so they won’t be able to cash in on the winnings. Who knows if you might just find a reason to get down this way  OR you can always donate your winnings to someone else. Channel your inner charitable personality.  Good luck and keep those images coming. If you already don’t own that favorite photo – what are you waiting for? Get out and take it.

It’s ‘BEST CAPTION’ time again. These are some I’ve gone through that cry out for a TITLE.

To win:

1. Lend a caption that best fits the image and

2. The one with the most votes wins their favorite 5×7!

*Contest ends by 5/31 at midnight. Invite all your friends and family and Best of Luck!

Meet Anna and Nathan.

Anna entered our Free Wedding Contest by first explaining how Nathan and her met before High School and a little about the wedding. BUT, what won us over was how Anna expressed how passionate, patient and respectful Nathan has been to her over the past 11 years together and she felt it was her turn to give something big back to him… A FREE Wedding Photographer to capture their complete love for one another.

It is not every day that you get to witness a couple this in love.  The entire wedding, the couple was floating on air. There is no better way to explain the night other than…. They were in love.

The wedding took place at the Rutledge Chapel in the USC Horseshoe. The reception was followed at the beautiful 701 Whaley Center for Contemporary Art.

Take a look at our happy couple:
