Favorites of 2009

What a year! In some ways 2009 was the most challenging of my life, but in many more ways, it was the best. Two distinct highlights for me were giving birth to Waldron and growing One Tree Photography. My clients are amazing and they make what I do so rewarding. Thank you to everyone who invited me into their lives this year. I'm honored to have been there to capture your joys.

To celebrate 2009, I chose one image from each session as my favorite and we're going to have a little contest. It's time for the blog readers to choose their favorite image of last year. To vote, simply leave a comment on this post with the number of your top pick. One vote per person, please, but feel free to pass the link on to your friends so they can vote, too.

And there are prizes! The image that receives the most votes by Friday, January 8th, 2010, at 11:59pm PST, will receive a FREE session to use before June 1, 2010. The first runner up will receive a $50 gift card to use toward their next session. And one random commenter will also receive a $50 gift card for their next session. Sound good?
